Masaki Uehara

Masaki Uehara is Takumi Kijima's inseparable best friend and fellow classmate. Unlike Takumi's earnest and wholehearted approach to romance, Masaki is a self-proclaimed ladies' man whose mind frequently wanders into mischievous territory — with a particular fondness for group blind dates and spontaneous flirting. Despite his seemingly carefree and rough-around-the-edges exterior, he proves time and again to be a deeply devoted friend. Whenever Takumi finds himself at a crossroads while pursuing Ao Horie, Masaki steps up with advice and timely support, making him an indispensable wingman whose lively presence keeps the story entertaining.
