Description
Yū Mitarai is a first-year Mechanical Engineering student at Izu University and a classmate of Iori Kitahara. He possesses a slim build, stands approximately 165 cm tall, and maintains a generally handsome appearance with narrow, sharp eyes that often appear closed. His black hair features partial blond highlights, likely dyed.
Initially presenting as a typical college student, Yū gradually reveals a carefree and impulsive attitude, particularly toward women. He frequently engages in flirtatious behavior without considering consequences and shows minimal reflection on his mistakes. This tendency triggers recurring comedic mishaps, often amplified by his susceptibility to peer influence and his friends' schemes. He employs quick, unconventional solutions to evade trouble, such as abruptly proposing marriage to defuse volatile situations.
Yū's background centers on his enrollment at Izu University, where he strives to integrate socially. His earliest notable incident involves a failed cheating attempt during a German language exam: he hid notes in his pencil case, which backfired when pencil cases were collected preemptively. He maintains a longstanding relationship with childhood friend Rie Oohashi, though it becomes a primary source of turmoil. Upon learning of their relationship, his friends—particularly Iori and Kouhei—repeatedly sabotage it. Kouhei once impersonated female voices at Yū's apartment, causing Rie to suspect infidelity. Later, Iori and Kouhei fabricated a cheating allegation, prompting a temporary breakup. During this separation, Yū angered Rie by requesting introductions to her female friends, leading to physical retaliation from her and his peers.
Despite these conflicts, Yū and Rie remain connected in an unbalanced dynamic where Rie exerts significant control. He continues navigating college life alongside his friend group, frequently participating in or instigating chaotic antics. Amid his flaws, Yū demonstrates surprising proficiency in ikebana, a genuine talent recognized by others that contrasts with his hapless image.
His character development revolves around recurring patterns of self-inflicted trouble and comedic suffering, cementing his role as group entertainment. Key incidents include public "executions" for perceived infidelities and impulsive proposals to Rie to avoid punishment, underscoring his cyclical struggles with responsibility and relationships.
