Description
Kaoruko Rokuonji is a third-year student at Ōsui Academy and serves as the school’s student council president. She comes from a wealthy and prestigious family with a long history, and her grandfather is a well-known figure in the local community. Her upbringing was strict, as her parents raised her with the expectation that she would never bring shame to the family name. It was partly as a reaction to this disciplined environment that Kaoruko developed a deep passion for manga and anime, eventually becoming an avid otaku.
Kaoruko is widely regarded as the perfect student. She consistently achieves top grades, carries herself with a dignified and refined attitude, and treats everyone she meets sociably and without prejudice. This impeccable public persona has earned her the trust and respect of not only the entire student body but also the school’s faculty. However, beneath this composed and honorable exterior lies a more spontaneous and easily excited individual. She has a quirky habit of suddenly interjecting old man jokes or puns into conversations, which often leaves those around her unsure of how to respond. She can also be somewhat ditzy at times, adding a layer of unexpected charm to her character.
Living a double life, Kaoruko works secretly as a very popular illustrator and manga artist under the pen name Shika-kun, which translates to Mr. Deer. For a year prior to the events of the story, she had been providing illustrations for a weekly manga series written by Kouki Narumi, the protagonist. The pair communicated solely through their editor and via email, meaning neither knew the other’s true identity or that they attended the same school. The turning point occurs when Kaoruko accidentally discovers that Kouki is her writing partner, the manga author Imosarada. Following this revelation, she recruits him to join the student council, which allows them to work together more closely on their creative projects while navigating the tasks of the council.
Key relationships in her life are centered around the student council. Kouki Narumi becomes a crucial partner, as they share the secret of their professional collaboration. Her other close friends and council members include the vice president Ashe Rufflette Sakuragi, Kouki’s younger sister Toa Narumi, and Toa’s best friend Mihiro Miyase. Her role in the story is primarily as the catalyst who brings the main characters together, and her route in the original visual novel focuses heavily on a sweet and adorable romance built on their common interests and mutual secrets.
Kaoruko’s primary notable ability is her talent as an illustrator, which has gained her a reputation for creating popular and sometimes racy drawings for light novels and manga. Beyond her artistic skill, her academic excellence and natural leadership abilities make her an effective and respected student council president. Her character development often involves reconciling her flawless public image with her passionate otaku hobbies, and she experiences significant growth through her evolving relationship with Kouki as they learn to trust each other not just as colleagues, but as romantic partners.
