Appearance [ ]
Yamaguchi’s full appearance.
Kenji is a slender young man with a short blonde hair that is styled in a bob-cut with bangs that fall across his face along with small, slanted light brown eyes. He is implied to be very attractive as he is said to be able to get any girl he wants.
Kenji is mainly seen in his school uniform, which are matching green/blue pants and turtleneck jacket, sometimes worn with a white coat over the top. His fashion sense outside of school is quite cool and casual.
Personality [ ]
One of Kenji’s obvious characteristics is his pride. When he was lost in Syoyo High School and when he couldn’t find the right sector in the library, he refused to ask anybody for help; as he is seen telling Shizuku «I don’t like asking other people for help». It also seems that he is somewhat afraid of YΕ«zan Yoshida (Haru’s older brother). But Kenji denies it and says that he only had a traumatic experience, and that nothing scares him. On that note, Shizuku comments that his pride will be his undoing one day.
Kenji’s facial expressions.
A recurring joke is Kenji’s complete lack of orientation or bad sense of direction. In almost every one of his appearances he is shown to be lost, whether it be in the city, the library or the Syoyo school grounds. Because of his pride, he refuses to admit this or ask anyone for help, even when it is completely obvious that he has no idea where he is.
History [ ]
Kenji used to go to the same school as Haru Yoshida when they were younger. He often said that because Haru had higher grades than him. When they were in kindergarten at Kaimei Academy, he said that the «weird new kid beside him» was causing him problems, beating him in academics. He tried to bully him, but only ended up revealing their difference in intelligence even more, and getting hurt by YΕ«zan Yoshida when he shoved Haru (which explains why he is terrified of Yuzan and often hides whenever he sees him). He said that the last time he saw Haru was in second grade of elementary school.
Kenji’s first anime debut was during episode one, Sitting Next to Yoshida-kun. He wasn’t yet introduced but was seen as the ‘leader’ of a delinquent group of boys from Kaimei High School. His group of friends and him hung out with Haru Yoshida after Haru decided to not come back to school anymore, since the last incident of his fight. The boys took advantage of Haru, and Kenji did nothing to stop them.
When Shizuku Mizutani meets the group, she points out to Haru that they’re using him for his money. Kenji took an interest in Shizuku’s appearance since their first introduction. After overhearing how stupid the group viewed Haru at the Batting Centre, Shizuku stormed out to yell at Kenji and his group of boys and how they should be ashamed for treating a genuine person lowly; This leaves another impression on Kenji.
Kenji never makes direct plans with either of the two, but they always casually bump into each other on the streets. To his own amusement, Kenji thought it would be entertaining to test Haru’s patience by invading Shizuku’s personal space, but he failed to sincerely keep his distance as he unexpectedly became attracted to Shizuku and then falling in love with her. Throughout the anime, he keeps asking, «What does she see in that guy, anyway?» Also, he always lost his way when he’s walking around. He doesnβt like asking others about the way where can he find something that his looking for. Long for ; He don’t like asking for people’s help.
When Haru confronted Kenji about his feelings toward Shizuku and asked whether he loved her or not, Kenji coolly responded with, «So what if I do?». Haru became irritated and jealous. In episode 10, he blurted out in front of both his group of friends and Kenji’s group of friends that Kenji loved Shizuku, but Kenji played it cool by pretending to brush off Haru’s accusation, explaining that he was joking around. Haru fell for it immediately, but their friendship remained rough when Haru couldn’t shake off his jealousy.
He doesn’t know why he loves Shizuku because she is full of flaws that he cannot stand, but he does try his best to keep their distance and their acquaintanceship mutually casual. In the manga, he finally caves in and tells Shizuku how he feels, but she rejects him and sides with Haru. They both agree to be friends. In the anime, he doesn’t confess at all.
Relationships [ ]
Shizuku Mizutani [ ]
Kenji antagonising Haru.
His first impression of Shizuku was her cold exterior. During one of their first encounters, Shizuku demands Kenji and his friends to treat Haru Yoshida with more respect if they truly consider themselves his friends. It is later revealed that Shizuku attends the same cram school as Kenji. Initially, Kenji pretends to be close to Shizuku to agitate Haru, but this eventually develops into sincere affection. Kenji does not really understand why he would fall for a girl like Shizuku, considering all her distasteful traits and tries to conceal his true feelings. Shizuku often has conversations with him about her relationship with Haru. He subconsciously takes care of Shizuku, especially after heated arguments with her friends or with Haru. Yamaken (Kenji’s nickname) confesses to Shizuku about his feelings, but it is not reciprocated. He then proposes to break off their friendship and Shizuku calmly agreed. Later on, however, they mutually become friends.
Haru Yoshida [ ]
Kenji and Haru have known each other since they were younger. He was jealous of Haru’s intelligence and used to pick on him because of it. He has even seen a couple of Haru’s infamous attacks on other students, which Haru fails to remember. When they were in high school, Haru was suspended and he hung out with Kenji and his friends (who only used Haru for borrowing money). Though they are still rivals up until now, they still remain friends and even compete for Shizuku’s affection.
Mabo, Joji and Tomio [ ]
Yamaken goes to school with Mabo, Joji, and Tomio. Personally, Yamaken doesn’t view the trio as his friends. He only hangs around them because he thinks it’s «amusing to observe stupid people.» The trio put up with his snobbiness. They’re known as delinquents and label themselves as delinquents.
YΕ«zan Yoshida [ ]
Like Yoshida Haru, Yamaken runs the opposite direction when he sees Yuuzan. He denies being frightened but told Mizutani that he had a traumatic experience with him during earlier years. It is revealed in the manga that whenever Yamaken would pick on Haru in elementary school, Yuuzan would stand up for Haru by doing things to him (it is not explicitly stated what happened, but Shizuku assumed Yuuzan would beat him up). He also seems to get irritated at him when Yuuzan can’t remember his name or his face. Various times in the manga, he would stop Shizuku from interacting with YΕ«zan, similarly to how Haru does, as a way of protecting her from him.
Iyo Yamaguchi [ ]
In the manga, Yamaken is shown to hate his sister as he pushes her aside most of the time, referring to her once as ‘not my blood’ and saying he doesn’t remember having a stupid sister. Iyo is scared of him, but Yamaken doesn’t seem to mind this. In truth, they don’t hate each other that much and still have a sibling-like relationship as seen in the last volume of the manga.
Asako Natsume [ ]
There is not much interaction between Kenji and Natsume. Whenever she saw Yamaken flirting with Shizuku, she always says that he doesn’t have a chance with Shizuku, thus making him angry.

Appearance [ ]
Shizuku’s full appearance
Shizuku is a slender girl of average height with light, copper-brown hair that she keeps back in twin tails behind her ears and lets her fringe down to the top of her eyes and dark brown eyes.
Her main outfit is a regular gakuran; a reddish brown jacket over a cream school sweatshirt and a white shirt with a light blue tie. She wears a black miniskirt checkered with grey lines, and she wears knee high black socks and brown loafers.
Outside of school, Shizuku mostly wears old-fashioned clothes; Haru Yoshida has commented on her fashion sense as «grandma-like,» though after she graduated she stopped wearing the twin tails and had her hair cut short while still keeping her bangs.
Personality [ ]
Shizuku can be very candid and apathetic at times, telling classmates that if it’s their problem, they should solve it themselves. Shizuku seems to believe in the idea of growth by solving oneβs own problems.
Shizuku is very absorbed in her studies, mostly because she wishes to be like Yoshino Mizutani (Shizuku’s mother), who works overtime to accommodate for Takaya Mizutani (Shizukuβs father), who had not been successful in his work. She is also sometimes emotionally withdrawn and socially inept. This is shown even as a young girl when she was rather uncaring of her class pet’s death. As the teacher and students crowded around the pet, mourning the death of their rabbit, Shizuku asked to be excused, saying that she had to go home and do her homework. That earned her the nickname of βDry Iceβ, in which Shizukuβs father, even said that she had been more interested in math problems than dolls as a child, suggesting the influence that her often-absent mother had on her. Shizuku seemed to revere her mother because she was a hard-working and smart woman, unlike her father. Shizuku often states that she does not care what people think of her. What she cares about is being top of the school.
Shizuku’s facial expressions.
It has been noted several times that Shizuku is very dense when it comes to other people and what they’re trying to say. This is especially shown when Kenji Yamagucci (nickname Yamaken) attempts to get his feelings of affection across to her. She doesnβt realize and acts as if he is a new friend and study mate until Yamaken finally outright confesses to her.
History [ ]
Shizuku looked up to Yoshino Mizutani (Shizuku’s mother) very much and often called her mother when she received full points on her tests. Because her mother was often absent, Shizuku often makes the food for the family and buys what they need from the supermarket.
In the same year as the βDry Iceβ incident, Shizuku decided that she wished to raise goldfish in a pot placed in her backyard. Although she claimed she had no interest in goldfish, she had researched how to care for goldfish and was set on the project. She wished to show the goldfish that she had raised in the festival for her mother to see. However, when her mother called and told her that she would be unable to make it to the festival, Shizuku decided to give up on the goldfish.
On the first day of school, Shizuku witnessed a group of seniors beating up a classmate. She contemplated on telling a teacher, but decided not to after rationally deciding that they would go after her if they knew she told. Not long after, she saw Haru Yoshida run in and fight the seniors.
Initially, Shizuku sat next to Haru Yoshida in homeroom, but because of his suspension, she never saw him. One day, one of her teachers asked her to take some notes over to Haru’s apartment and also to remind him that if he did not come to school again, he would be expelled from the school. She went over to his house and met Mitsuyoshi Misawa (Haru’s older cousin and guardian). She briefly encountered Haru who started yelling at a guy because he made Haru lose a game. She tried to talk to him, but he jumped out of the nearest window before she could get a word out. She decided to leave the notes with Mitsuyoshi, but sooner after on her way home, Haru sprang from the bushes and pinned her to the ground, demanding to know if she was a spy from the school. She frantically said no and scurried away from him. Suddenly, he acted nicer to her and asked for her name. She hesitantly gave to him and somehow, Haru claimed her to be his friend.
The next day, the same teacher asked her to try to convince Shizuku to go back over and convince Haru to come back to school. Due to her fear of Haru and her indifference, she declined. However, on her way from school, Haru took her into an alley and led her to an open field where he kept a dog. Shizuku managed to return the dog to its owner, but Haru took her to a fast food restaurant. There, they met Kenji Yamaguchi and his friends who immediately ask Haru for some money. He hesitated, but gave in when one of them reminded that they were «friends». Once they left, Haru and Shizuku had an awkward talk about school. Shizuku tried to encourage him to come back, but he declined since he had Shizuku and Kenji and his friends. Shizuku openly admitted that Kenji and his friends were merely using him and asked him what kind of friends would treat him like that. Instead of thinking that over, Haru dumped his drink on Shizuku and called her a terrible person and walked away. Furious, Shizuku ran out and threw her drink at him, which started a chase.
Relationships [ ]
Haru Yoshida [ ]
Shizuku and Yoshida first met when Shizuku delivered some class readings and homework as requested by their teacher. It was shown that Haru was suspended from school because of a fight that happened at the start of the school year, although even after his suspension was raised he rarely comes to school because of his fear of human interaction that is until he met Shizuku who he immediately considered a friend. After a few encounters, Haru confusingly conveys his feelings to Shizuku after she stood up for him against Kenji and his friends, surprising the latter. Haru started attending school the next day having been attached to Shizuku and wanting to see her more. Meeting Haru would inadvertently make Shizuku see a vast world beyond school and studying, whilst also making her feel emotions she hasn’t shown before, eventually she started to realize her feelings towards Haru and decided to confess to him over time that she loves him and that she meant it. However, he rejected her and told her that their concept of love was different. Shizuku took back her words, and told him that she’ll wait for him to fall in love with her before saying it again. The two would remain close to each other throughout their school year.
After a while, Haru would start to experience uncertain feelings towards Shizuku, however Shizuku’s feelings towards Haru resulted in a downgrade of her rank, from #2 to #29, causing Shizuku to push Haru away to focus more on her studies even going far as saying that she no longer has feelings for him. Haru remembered what his aunt Kyoko told him before she died: to «find people whose presence is enough to soothe the pain.», realizing that it was Shizuku who soothed him every day, he told her that he loved her. He then became inseparable and almost clingy to Shizuku. He licked her hand on one occasion when she tried to give him tickets to the school festival and nearly kissed her when she waited to give him a present from Natsume on the way home flustering her. Haru easily gets erratic when Shizuku is with another guy, especially Yamaken. He even tells her to avoid his brother for her own good.
Shizuku realizes that she still loves Haru from the time of the very first confession, and that she was only running away from her true feelings because of her grades suffering due to her inability to control her emotions. She asks him to give her more time to think about their relationship with Haru happily agreeing. Over the course of winter, Haru admits that he is jealous of Shizuku attending winter study with Yamaken but after months of thought she finally confesses to Haru that he shouldn’t worry because she does indeed love him. However, Haru causes a scene and continues to embarrass Shizuku during her time attending the winter study. Eventually, She realizes that her inability to understand him is the root of their problem. She promised Haru that they would have a picnic together next year but he has to behave for the rest of her winter study. On their picnic day which ends up being skiing in the mountains, Shizuku makes it her goal to make Haru have fun as a way to repay Haru for being there for her.
During valentines (which also happens to be Shizuku’s birthday), Shizuku felt upset about her mother not going home for her birthday. Haru visited her and gave her a fountain pen as a present. While the two walked around, Haru encouraged Shizuku to call her mom, letting her hold his hand so she won’t be scared. After that, Shizuku gave Haru a valentine’s chocolate saying it is not «end of the year present but a valentine’s one», telling Haru that she likes him, and kissing him afterwards. Shizuku admits to her mom that she was in love with Haru, the latter seemingly gives her approval. During this time, Haru would start to grow up for the sake of Shizuku (with the help of his friends); being able to control his violent tendencies and becoming more understanding overall.
Haru and Shizuku decide to go out.
As of Chapter 31, the two are now officially going out. They both realize that nothing much has changed, causing Shizuku to question the benefits of going out with Haru, but soon realizes what it is. Shizuku also started learning more about Haru bit by bit through Haru’s relatives and acquaintances, however, she also started becoming jealous of him because what Haru has (but doesn’t need) is what she wants. This causes a strain on their relationship and the two had an argument after Yuzan’s birthday party making Haru run away and avoid her. Shizuku blames herself for this and continues to worry about him in the two weeks that he was missing. During this time, Yamaken confessed again to Shizuku telling her to consider him this time. Shizuku however still chose Haru saying that even though what they have maybe isn’t love it is still fun for her to be with him. Shizuku learned that Haru kept his promise of telling her if he was going somewhere, realizing that Haru kept on thinking about her even though they hurt each other deeply she went to see him. Shizuku tearfully apologizes and conveys her jealousy also telling him not to hate her; Haru, in response, hugged her and told her that he will never hate her for that, and it’s okay for Shizuku to tell him what she feels. After the two reconciled, Haru told Shizuku about him going away. Haru went overseas for a research for approximately a year. Even though she hadn’t heard of him for awhile, Shizuku still remained faithful to him. After a while, he wrote a letter to Shizuku and told her that what he had said before about his feelings and how they’ll never change, had changed a bit now that he loves her more. He came back to Japan after Shizuku’s high school graduation and the two were reunited. Three and a half years later, Haru proposes to Shizuku and their wedding was shown in the final chapter.
Over the course of their relationship, the two would often clash due to the difference in their respective personalities and most of their friends would often think they were out of sync. However, they tried hard to understand their own and the other’s feelings becoming more mature in the process. Seeing as they both need each other, they share the same feeling of not wanting to lose one another. Haru needing Shizuku to be with him because of the loneliness he had suffered due to his upbringing and Shizuku not wanting to lose Haru because of how more meaningful her life had become ever since she met him.

As the story progresses, he develops feelings for Shizuku, which makes Haru consider him as a rival and even treats him badly; though at first, every time he is asked of his feeling for Shizuku, his reply will either be of a denying nature or along the lines of his feelings being a «joke».
He always finds time to get in between Shizuku and Haru, to Haru’s annoyance. In chapter 44, when he fully accepts his feelings and finally confesses and she doesn’t give him a response and he tells her to properly consider him. She doesn’t sleep at all that day and next day morning, she blushes when remembering him. There are hints that she might like him but not to the extent of love. She later calls him to give a reply to his confession to a place to meet up. When he arrives she tells she couldn’t sleep yesterday thinking about him and even in-house all she could think was about him and then asks what he likes about her. He replies that he like her straightforwardness and not sugar coating words she speaks. She replies that he is always helping her and whenever she is with him she feels calm and can be herself which makes her feel good. But she tells that Haru was the one who drew her feelings of anger or happiness and she can still feel those when she is with him. She even tells that the feelings what she and Haru have might not be love but still is fun for her to be with him, so she can’t go out with Kenji. After hearing this Kenji hugs her and tells her goodbye after he said he can be friends with her if she wanted to.
