Description
Shūmei Sasaki stands out in high school with his height (183-186 cm) and vivid red hair, accentuated by multiple ear piercings—three helix and one lobe on the left, two lobe piercings on the right. A snaggletooth surfaces in his wide smiles. His school uniform is often casually worn with unbuttoned top and reddish T-shirt underneath, paired with navy pants. For warmth, he opts for a high-necked black jacket or cream plaid scarf. He carries a sweet bread-like scent from his family's bakery.
Initially misjudged as a delinquent due to his appearance, Sasaki presents a reserved, occasionally apathetic demeanor among friends and family, seeming gloomy alone. Prone to impulsive actions without considering consequences, he historically neglected academics. Yet around his boyfriend Miyano Yoshikazu, he reveals an affectionate, protective, and cheerful side, fiercely attuned to Miyano's comfort and intimidating toward those who trouble him.
Junior high saw Sasaki prioritizing activities like fireworks over studies. A pivotal moment occurred when he shoved his sister Satoko during an argument, causing injury—sparking lasting regret and a drive for self-improvement. His enduring friendship with Ogasawara Jirou began here, bonded by music.
In high school, Sasaki encountered Miyano while breaking up a fight involving Miyano's friend. Months later, he initiated contact by complimenting Miyano's looks and inquiring about manga terms like "seme" and "uke." After borrowing a BL manga from Miyano, Sasaki unexpectedly connected with the characters' emotional depth. Though initially startled by romantic content, he continued reading to engage with Miyano, developing genuine interest. He defended the genre against peers like Ogasawara and attended BL events with Miyano.
Sasaki confessed his feelings during their second year, granting Miyano time to process emotions. As their relationship grew, Sasaki wrestled with patience and jealousy—notably during Miyano's cross-dressing contest. Once Miyano reciprocated, Sasaki became openly affectionate while respecting public boundaries. His sister Satoko deduced their relationship; after initial tension, she bonded with Miyano.
Post-graduation, Sasaki started college while Miyano remained in high school. They adapted to fewer meetings through library, aquarium, and amusement park dates. During a birthday aquarium visit, Sasaki kissed Miyano—later apologizing, though Miyano affirmed their bond. They exchanged matching bracelets and an ear cuff. Sasaki deflected college peers' personal questions to protect Miyano's privacy, expressing longing for their future after Miyano committed to his college.
Sasaki helps mornings at his family's bakery, often arriving nearly late to school. He avoids spicy foods, carbonated drinks, and mint, favoring sweets like shortcake eaten monthly on the 22nd. He experiences motion sickness during transit, alcohol intolerance, heat sensitivity, and excels at math despite academic disinterest.
