Akihiko Asai

Akihiko Asai presents himself as a composed and gentlemanly café owner, yet beneath that polished exterior lies a personality remarkably similar to his daughter's—an irresistible urge to observe those around him. He takes quiet delight in watching the awkward, endearing dynamic unfold between Sakurai and Uzaki, often savoring the scene from behind the counter with a knowing smile. As a warm and supportive elder figure, he plays a subtle but meaningful role in encouraging the pair's blossoming relationship.
