OVA
Description
Tomoomi Hasui is a professional hairdresser who encounters Kanade Katagiri in a park. He spontaneously cuts her hair without consent, initially frightening her, but the resulting transformation helps her gain confidence to reintegrate into society. His hairdressing skills are top-notch, significantly altering Kanade's appearance.
He owns and operates the salon Azalea near the station. Kanade later visits him there for hair treatments. Tomoomi refuses payment, referring to her as his "cut model." The salon initially appears to cater exclusively to Kanade, though this may change depending on the narrative path.
Tomoomi presents as eccentric yet kind, with interests in decorative plants, aromas, and traveling. He wears a fedora and a cross necklace, has blond shoulder-length hair parted to the side, amber eyes, and stands 172 cm tall.
As the story progresses, his seemingly benign demeanor reveals deeper layers of obsession. He develops an intense fixation on Kanade, viewing her as his "perfect female human specimen." This manifests in controlling behavior, demanding she model exclusively for him and isolating her from others. His possessiveness escalates to confining her in a hotel room filled with mannequins modeled after her, symbolizing his objectification of her identity.
His backstory involves leaving the professional hairdressing scene due to frustrations with clients disregarding his creative input, causing him to quit and experience emotional turmoil. Meeting Kanade reignites his passion, but his methods become unhinged. In certain outcomes, he attempts to transform Kanade into a living doll, dictating her appearance and actions.
Tomoomi's character arc varies across endings. In one conclusion, he overcomes his obsessive tendencies after Kanade challenges his perception, leading him to reopen Azalea to the public and marry her. Conversely, darker conclusions involve him perpetually confining her as his doll or enacting violent consequences upon rejection.
His interactions with Kanade progress from mentorship to toxicity, culminating in scenarios using emotional manipulation or physical force to maintain control. His route explores themes of artistic expression, loneliness, and the destructive potential of obsession.
