Description
Kohaku Ichimura is a second-year high school student and the male protagonist of the series. He comes from a wealthy family, with his grandfather being the president of a company, and his striking appearance and social status have earned him the nickname Prince among his classmates. Despite this, he does not actively embrace or reject his princely image; he treats the admiration he receives as background noise and often seems bored or understimulated by the superficiality of his environment.
Kohaku has a forward, blunt, and mischievous personality. He is quick to speak his mind and acts on his impulses, which often contrasts with the more reserved nature of those around him. However, his straightforwardness is paired with a sharp emotional awareness. He is perceptive and able to see people beyond their public facades, a quality that sets him apart from others. He is physically affectionate, prone to leaning in, holding hands, and closing the distance with those he cares about, and he can exhibit jealousy when rivals appear.
His primary motivation is a search for genuine connection. Having grown up surrounded by wealth and superficial relationships, he craves authenticity. This is what draws him to Yoi Takiguchi, the school s other Prince. When he first encounters Yoi, he calls her beautiful rather than handsome or cool, immediately recognizing her femininity in a way no one else has. He is captivated by her honesty, lack of pretense, and the vulnerability she tries to hide. Rather than courting her in a traditional sense, he proposes an experimental relationship, approaching love with the same curiosity and observational nature he applies to everything else.
Kohaku s role in the story is that of a catalyst. He disrupts Yoi s carefully constructed identity and pushes her to confront her own feelings and desires. Through his interactions with her, he also undergoes significant development. What begins as casual interest grows into genuine dedication. He learns to channel his impulses into sincere commitment and becomes a protective and supportive partner who values Yoi for who she truly is, not how she is perceived. His relationship with Yoi forces him to want more from life effort, presence, and emotional investment transforming a previously detached existence into one with direction.
Key relationships include his bond with Yoi, which is central to the narrative. He maintains a friendly but competitive dynamic with Oji Kento, a rival for Yoi s affections, and has a close, long-term friendship with Yui, who understands his history and personality better than most. At home, he is relaxed and doted on by his family, particularly his mother, which provides context for his otherwise aloof demeanor.
Notable abilities include his emotional intelligence and communication skills. He expresses his feelings openly without melodrama, and he actively adjusts his behavior when he senses discomfort in others. His ability to see and acknowledge Yoi s true self, both her strength and her vulnerability, is his defining strength. This quiet perceptiveness allows him to create a space where genuine emotional growth can occur for both himself and those around him.
