Description
Yū Mitarai, a first-year mechanical engineering student at Izu University and classmate of Iori Kitahara, possesses a slim frame, sharp narrow eyes, and light-colored hair that contribute to his striking appearance despite his unassuming 165 cm stature. Outwardly approachable, his demeanor masks a playful flirtatiousness toward women, fueling humorous misunderstandings and social friction.
His romantic history intertwines with childhood friend Rie Oohashi, a student at Oumi Women’s University, their relationship persistently strained by orchestrated sabotage from his peers. Friends amplify chaos by spinning tales of infidelity, mimicking female voices to incite jealousy, and triggering confrontations that escalate into Rie’s fiery retaliation, revealing her possessive tendencies. Even post-breakup, Mitarai shamelessly pursues new romantic prospects, undeterred by repeated fallout.
A German exam debacle cements his comedic reputation: an ill-fated cheat sheet hidden in his pencil case fails spectacularly when instructors collect cases beforehand, turning the incident into an enduring punchline. During one heated clash with Rie, he evades her wrath by blurting a marriage proposal, a desperate gambit that unexpectedly shifts their dynamic, leaving Rie dominant in their tense rapport.
Mitarai navigates life with a mix of carefree impulsiveness and rapid improvisation to escape self-inflicted crises. Though susceptible to his friends’ chaotic scheming, he displays resilience, persisting in social engagements without visible bitterness.
His rarely acknowledged proficiency in ikebana showcases flawless technique and artistic flair, yet this skill remains eclipsed by his notoriety for absurd blunders. Regularly thrust into pranks or triggering humorous escapades, he serves as both instigator and punchline within his social circle.
His narrative arc revolves around a revolving cycle of romantic missteps and social gaffes, anchored by an unchanging core of cheerful heedlessness. Interactions with Rie oscillate between explosive clashes and fragile ceasefires, often stabilized by friends’ meddling or his own rash decisions.
