Akira Konoe is the younger brother of Moyako Konoe. When he was a child, he once declared a childish wish to marry her, an innocent remark that became the foundation of his sister's persistent belief that he harbors improper feelings for her. As a teenager, his conduct around Moyako is entirely ordinary and straightforward, showing no sign of the perverse motives she imagines. He is generally unassuming and appears oblivious to the elaborate fantasies she constructs from their shared past. While he occasionally feels embarrassed by her behavior, especially in public, he usually shrugs off her dramatics with casual detachment, having grown accustomed to her habit of twisting everyday moments into imagined improprieties. His role is that of a straight man to his sister's comedic misinterpretations of their relationship.
