CHARACTERS

Kousuke Ooshiba

Kousuke is a ridiculously handsome teacher who is super popular with both his students and fellow teachers. However, he also has a secret “bad boy” side to his personality, as he’s prone to destroying others in fights. He’s also infamous on the streets with a nickname like “The Bear Killer”.

Masahiro Setagawa

Masahiro is a high schooler who doesn’t have the best life at home or the best sense of self confidence. He’s prone to becoming the “underling” to people and groups, which entails cooking, running errands, and other maid-like activities for them.

Asaya Hasekura

Asaya is Masahiro’s classmate. A rather quiet individual, he also seems to get easily irked and is far more observant than his peers.

Kensuke Ooshiba

Kensuke is Kousuke’s younger brother and Masahiro’s classmate. With his kind and adorable personality, Kensuke manages to be well-liked by virtually everyone around him.
