Makino Aikawa is a quiet and handsome love‑game streamer who is one of the eight participants summoned to play the game in the anime. He is almost always asleep or on the verge of sleeping, and he lets his eyes do most of the talking for him. A recurring trait is that anyone, male or female, who looks into his eyes for five seconds becomes charmed by him, a feature that works as both a gag and a practical ability. His background reveals that he turned to love games as a form of comfort and withdrew into his own world, but through the events of the story and the help of Akatsuki Iride, he begins to open up and move forward. Makino is characterized as a laid‑back and calm person, yet when a situation demands it he becomes extremely capable and responsive, making him well suited for unexpected challenges. He is cautious around crowds and prefers listening to nature sounds and sleeping. His favorite type of game is dating simulations, and his eating habits show a fondness for stuffed cabbage rolls and spring rolls while disliking anything sour. Within the group, he plays a role that relies on his unique eye‑based ability and his quietly observant nature, and his growth comes from gradually forming stronger bonds with the other players, especially Akatsuki, who helps him break out of his shell.
