Description
Masashi Miyanomori, born February 20, is the sixth and youngest son of the influential Miyanomori family. At 16, he attends Imperial Senior High School as a fifth-year student. He exudes icy arrogance and immaturity, particularly toward servants and those he deems socially inferior, dismissing them as "trash." His sharp tongue, refusal to tolerate disobedience, and spoiled demeanor extend to his brothers, especially Hiroshi, the fifth son, with whom he shares fierce animosity.
His teenage appearance features a short black bob cut and black eyes, standing 166 cm tall and weighing 57 kg. He consistently wears a black high school uniform with a cap, rejecting traditional kimonos influenced by his mother, Imura Chiyoko, who runs a dry-goods store. Later, at age 30 (as shown in "Tengai ni Mau, Iki na Hana"), his appearance shifts dramatically: violet hair and violet eyes, 173 cm tall, 63 kg, often seen in a cardigan.
Deep resentment fuels Masashi's view of his family. He exists because his father, Genichirou Miyanomori, sought a successor candidate from the Imura family, making Masashi feel like a pawn. This breeds contempt for the Miyanomori name, his father, and even his mother, Chiyoko. He avoids her, openly criticizes her, refuses visits to Kyoto, and rarely acknowledges their relationship.
His evolution begins through interactions with Haru Asagi, a Miyanomori maid. Initially, he torments her, blaming her for his misfortunes and demanding her resignation. Pivotal moments, like collapsing from overwork and fever—where Haru nurses him—trigger change. His hostility shifts toward reluctant dependence. He returns alone to a beach to retrieve Haru after others abandon her, engaging in a sand-writing contest where he describes her with insults like "hate" and "idiot," yet flashes his first genuine smile.
Masashi's romantic interest surfaces when he interferes in her engagement proposal, ordering her parents to cancel it. He later visits her home, awkwardly accepting her family's hospitality. He displays possessiveness, declaring Haru "his" and preventing her interactions with other men, like pulling her away from his brother Isami. During family events, such as Shigeru's birthday, he confides in Haru about his existential rage at being born merely to entertain his father.
Key turning points include admitting he "hates Haru the most"—a phrase masking deeper attachment—and his eventual willingness to dance with her at a ball. Despite maintaining a tsundere exterior, he protects Haru from his father's tests and shares moments at a parlor shop, admitting he enjoys outings with her. His journey concludes with a softened demeanor, though he retains traces of his sharp wit and pride.
