Description
Hajime Nojima is a first-year Mechanical Engineering student at Izu University and a classmate of Iori Kitahara and Kouhei Imamura. He possesses a tall stature, self-proclaimed handsomeness, long black hair featuring two hanging bangs framing his face, black eyes, and consistently wears black glasses. He uses concealed shoes adding six centimeters, presenting as 178 centimeters tall instead of his actual 172.
Personality-wise, Hajime presents himself as a charismatic playboy with strong narcissistic tendencies, firmly convinced of his own attractiveness. However, his attempts at charm often register as unconvincing or socially awkward, hindering successful romantic connections. He demonstrates intelligence and an aptitude for unconventional problem-solving, such as devising intricate cheating methods. One notable scheme involved hiding notes between his arms during a major exam, foiled when sweat blurred the writing. His behavior blends calculated cleverness with unpredictability, frequently resulting in comedic mishaps.
Hajime actively participates in social activities with classmates, including a mixer organized by Iori and Kouhei to improve their standing. There, he and other male classmates engaged in competitive, often counterproductive efforts to impress female attendees, ending in mutual failure. He proactively pursues romance, exemplified by using flattery in an attempt to convince Chisa Kotegawa to accompany him to a university festival.
A significant subplot saw Hajime temporarily abandon his studies to pursue a career as a YouTuber, driven by a desire for recognition. He quickly abandoned this endeavor after confronting the practical challenges and difficulties of content creation, promptly returning to university life.
His primary relationships center on his Mechanical Engineering peers, especially Iori and Kouhei, sharing academic and social experiences. Hajime is regarded as one of the more academically capable within their group, often contributing ideas during collaborative tasks or projects.
