Description
Jun Watarase is a student at the academy where the story takes place, known for being in the same year as the protagonist Yuuma Kohinata. Physically, Jun is assigned male at birth but possesses a slender and naturally feminine build, with long, straight purple hair and large purple eyes. This appearance is so distinctly feminine that Jun is widely recognized and treated as the prettiest girl in the city, attending school exclusively in the female sailor uniform and dressing in feminine clothing such as miniskirts and stockings in daily life. Jun stands at 156 centimeters in height.
In terms of personality, Jun is bright, personable, and easy-going, often joking with friends and refusing to stand on formality with new acquaintances. Jun takes the identity of being a girl very seriously, having put considerable effort into replacing an entire wardrobe, growing out hair, and actively integrating into the role of a female student, such as by leaving with the girls for gendered tasks. Despite being known to be male by everyone, Jun openly declares being a normal girl and enjoys the social attention received, maintaining a fan club at school and showing appreciation for its members. Jun has a shameless and affectionate side, often hugging close friends and calling them cute, but also possesses a limit for inappropriate behavior and responds to perverted remarks with a signature flying side kick known as the Patriot Missile Kick, frequently aimed at the friend Hachi.
Jun’s primary motivation revolves around the desire for acceptance as a girl and the pursuit of romance with the best friend, Yuuma Kohinata. Jun works hard to maintain a feminine life, holding service jobs such as working at a maid cafe and developing cooking skills to assist in school activities. In the story, Jun serves as a close friend to the main group, acting as a bridge between the boys and girls while fostering relationships among them. Jun harbors a deep romantic crush on Yuuma, confessing love regularly and hoping for reciprocation, though Yuuma cannot view Jun as a romantic female partner. Because of this, Jun often tries to pair Yuuma with other girls, showing a selfless willingness to let go of personal feelings for the sake of a friend's happiness.
Key relationships include the two best friends, Yuuma and Hachi, both of whom have known Jun since before the decision to live as a girl. While Yuuma remains a close platonic friend, Hachi frequently makes insensitive remarks and becomes the target of Jun's physical reprimands. Among the female students, Jun is fully accepted, with the girls allowing Jun to change clothes in the same room and treating the character as one of them.
Jun undergoes significant development, particularly in the animated OVA. Initially living as a male who presents as female, a magical incident in the OVA results in Jun being transformed into a biological female, a change that is met with overwhelming joy and gratitude. This transformation represents the culmination of Jun’s personal desires, allowing the character to become physically what had always been expressed internally and socially. Throughout the narrative, Jun demonstrates remarkable resilience and maturity, moving from actively pursuing Yuuma to supporting his romance with another girl without bitterness.
In terms of notable abilities, beyond domestic skills like cooking and waitressing, Jun is known for a physical combat move called the Patriot Missile Kick, a dropkick used to enforce personal boundaries against lecherous friends. Jun is also noted for being one of the first characters of this archetype to be nominated in major character popularity contests typically reserved for female characters.
