Shuu Maiko

Shuu Maiko is a Banyari High School student and the longest-standing best friend of Itsuki Ichijo, a bond that stretches all the way back to their kindergarten days. On the surface, he plays the role of the class clown—goofy, flirtatious, and always good for a laugh. Yet beneath that carefree exterior lies a remarkably sharp mind and keen eye for detail, making him the first character in the series to see through the façade of the fake relationship. Working quietly behind the scenes, he consistently supports his friends' romantic journeys, revealing a side that is both emotionally mature and fiercely devoted.
