Character

Souhei Sasahira “Sasayan”

佐々原 宗平

Sasahara is a cheerful and outgoing person, encouraging others to refer to him as "Sasayan" (ササヤン?, Sasayan). He is noted to be gentle and kind to everyone and is well liked at Syoyo High. Despite this, he mainly hangs out with Haru, Natsume and Shizuku, leaving Natsume to believe that he actually looks down on her and Haru. Sasahara himself remarks that, unlike what others like Natsume think, he is not someone who sees everything clearly. He is especially concerned about Haru, having attended the same middle school as him, and wants to avoid the same scenario where Haru stopped coming to school completely. More than often Sasahara tried to encourage happiness for others rather than himself, as when Natsume pursued Mitsuyoshi and when he rejected her, and also when helping Shimoyanagi persuade Natsume, all while being romantically infatuated with Natsume himself. He is kind and very considerate. Though he has a very happy and kind personality, he can also be very serious.
