Ibara Obami, a 16-year-old Hyakkaou Private Academy student from the Obami family’s Hundred Devouring branch, arrives at the academy with one clear mission: to dethrone Kirari Momobami as Student Council President and claim leadership for his clan. Towering and athletic, he sports spiky light brown hair streaked with pink, a modified uniform with sleeves rolled to the elbows and an undone collar, and signature silver earrings. Around his neck hangs a thorned necklace that tightens painfully whenever he attempts deceit—a curse inherited from his swindler lineage, which renders him physically incapable of lying. This condition, triggering nausea at even the thought of dishonesty, ostracized him from his deceptive relatives, driving him to seek refuge in Rin Obami, the family’s cunning heir. Ibara clings fiercely to Rin, whose acceptance offered solace when his own blood turned him away. Though his loud, taunting demeanor and sharp tongue project arrogance, Ibara masks a gentle core. The abrasive act is a calculated performance to appease his family’s expectations, contrasting his true nature: a playful, warm-hearted teen who cracks jokes and prioritizes camaraderie. Only when aiding Rin does his levity harden into unwavering focus. Caught between his clan’s ruthless legacy and his own aversion to falsehoods, Ibara navigates a path where every choice tests his integrity. The thorns at his throat serve as both shackle and compass, grounding him in blunt honesty even as his loyalty to Rin pulls him deeper into a world of calculated lies. Their bond, forged in mutual need, becomes a catalyst for his growth—pushing him to question rigid definitions of truth and deception, and redefine where he stands in the tangled web of family ambition.
