Takashi Toono is a first-year transfer student at Morimori Academy, a private all-boys boarding school in the mountains, attending due to his father's job relocation after planning to go to a co-ed school in Shibuya. He stands 171 cm tall, weighs 55 kg, and has a slender build, medium-length tousled brown hair, olive-green eyes, and fair skin. He wears the school uniform: a dark grey sweater over a white button-up shirt, red tie, dark slacks, and white uwabaki slippers with a red toe stripe. Reserved and shy, Toono struggles socially as the new student. He forms an initial close bond only with classmate Kyosuke Yaguchi, whom he idolizes as his "angel." Unaware of its true purpose, he joins the Photography Club expecting conventional photography. It is actually the "Yarichin Bitch Club," requiring members to meet a monthly quota of sexual services; failure results in gang rape by other members. A virgin, Toono frequently expresses discomfort and bewilderment at the club's explicit activities, often accidentally encountering members during encounters. He dislikes fish eggs but enjoys savory buns, has no notable hobbies or skills, and lives in Dorm 3, Room 108. Athletically inept, especially in ball games, he also suffers from astraphobia—an abnormal fear of thunder and lightning stemming from childhood. His mother encouraged him to shout things he liked during storms to overcome his fear, advising his voice must be "higher than Thunder-san's." Toono develops romantic feelings for Yaguchi, unaware of Yaguchi's hidden jealousy and anger directed at his cousin, fellow transfer student and club member Yu Kashima. Kashima pretends to be in a romantic relationship with Toono to protect him from the club's quota punishment, eventually developing genuine feelings. During a school camping trip, stranded together in a thunderstorm, Toono witnesses Yaguchi's manipulative nature. This experience, intensified by his astraphobia, forces him to see Yaguchi's darker traits. Despite his aversion to the club's behavior, Toono maintains concern for his senpai. He navigates the school's environment while managing his fear, social anxiety, and unresolved romantic feelings amidst the club's exploitative dynamics.
