Hakuya Mitsumine

Hakuya Mitsumine is a enigmatic young man who relocated from a remote mountain village to live with the Yonomori family as Kohane's betrothed. Though he rarely speaks and maintains a near-expressionless demeanor — often going unnoticed in social settings — he is far from ordinary. As a descendant of the Mitsumine clan, a non-human lineage rooted in the deep wilderness, Hakuya harbors a profound bond with Kohane dating back to childhood, when he rescued her and shared a portion of his mystical power. Socially awkward yet fiercely devoted, he protects her not with words, but with an unwavering, wholehearted presence.
