Takuma Shinozaki

Takuma Shinozaki is a brand-new employee in his very first year at Mitsuboshi Character Design Company, where he frequently receives warm encouragement and emotional support from his senior colleague Shiori Katase — a petite and caring figure in his workplace. Honest by nature, Takuma finds himself flustered and red-faced whenever his senior shows him casual signs of affection without realizing it. Although he holds genuine feelings for her, he remains remarkably inexperienced and slow to recognize his own emotions when it comes to love.
