Movie
Description
Zen Kirishima is the editor-in-chief of Japun Magazine and chief editor of Marukawa Publishing's Shounen Department, overseeing the renowned manga "The Kan" by Ijuuin Kyou. Born June 16, this 33-year-old stands 186 cm tall with light brown hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. Professionally, he favors business attire but occasionally adopts casual wear at work.
His demeanor blends calmness with straightforward bluntness—traits some find refreshing and others grating. Unflappable under workplace pressure, he contrasts his professional competence with poor domestic skills in cooking and cleaning. Though generally cheerful and sympathetic, he displays intense romantic possessiveness and jealousy, constantly seeking fidelity reassurance.
His past centers on late wife Sakura, whom he met in middle school. Initially antagonistic—class president versus class clown—they grew close, with Sakura confessing first and proposing in college. They married after graduation despite pregnancy health warnings. Sakura's insistence led to daughter Hiyori Kirishima's birth, but she died shortly after from complications, leaving Kirishima a widower solely focused on raising Hiyori. Subsequent relationships were brief and superficial, reflecting his conviction that true love died with Sakura.
As a single father, Kirishima prioritized Hiyori but struggled with household management, forcing her into early self-sufficiency. She handled chores and self-care due to his work demands and domestic ineptitude. He remains fiercely protective, entrusting her only to select individuals like his parents or Takafumi Yokozawa, while dreading future loneliness when she might marry or leave home.
His bond with Takafumi Yokozawa sparked during a company meeting, drawn to Yokozawa's pride. After witnessing Yokozawa's emotional breakdown over Masamune Takano's rejection, Kirishima blackmailed him into companionship under "servitude" pretenses. Their connection deepened as Yokozawa visited Kirishima's home, bonding with Hiyori. They eventually became a couple, though Yokozawa requested hiding their relationship from Hiyori until she matured. Kirishima considers Yokozawa his first true love since Sakura, describing teenage-like infatuation. He insists Yokozawa is his future partner, proposing him as Hiyori's second parent. Friends note Kirishima's visible happiness post-relationship, contrasting prior emotional detachment.
In the "Propose-hen" OVA, Kirishima and Yokozawa attend a colleague's wedding. Walking home, they discuss Hiyori's potential marriage. Kirishima voices solitude fears, prompting Yokozawa to offer lifelong companionship. Kirishima interprets this as a mutual death-parting vow, which Yokozawa tacitly accepts, highlighting Kirishima's abandonment anxiety and reliance on Yokozawa for emotional stability.
