Hayato Shinomiya Husbando

Hayato Shinomiya is a first-year high school student and one of the four boys who is trying to win Kae Serinuma's affection. Shinomiya is a boy of average height and he is a bit shorter than the other main male characters. He has light brownish hair and brown and greenish eyes. Unlike the rest of the Kae Serinuma's suitors, Shinomiya has an effeminate body. Due to this reason, he can easily be mistaken as a girl when dressed in girl's clothes. He occasionally wears casual clothes but the majority of the time he wears the school uniform. Originally, upon his first appearance, Shinomiya was very responsible. Being a member of the Nursing Committee, he is knowledgeable about treating injuries and helping sick students. He is also a member of the Student Council. Shinomiya is smart and is already making plans in advance for his second year in high school. Amane Nakano (aka A-chan) thought Shinomiya was rather rude due to his comment about how Kae didn't look that injured. A-chan and Kae Serinuma both joked that despite his bishonen appearance, he may be a tsundere type. It wasn't until after Kae's sudden change in appearance that both she and A-chan's opinion about Shinomiya was proved to be true. Shinomiya is really a tsundere guy. Upon meeting Kae again after she lost her weight (in response to Shion's death), Shinomiya immediately developed a crush on Kae. He was shocked when Asuma Mutsumi revealed his crush is actually Kae, feeling surprised and disbelieving. Regardless, he maintained his crush on Kae. Due to his desire to gain Kae's affection, he immediately accepted into helping whatever situation Kae is involved in. Like Nozomu Nanashima and Yūsuke Igarashi, Shinomiya continued to be constantly surprised by Kae's otaku dedication to anime/manga especially BL romance. Much to his dismay, Kae originally didn't see him as a man due to his effeminate appearance. He is upset whenever Kae said he look good in girl's clothes or get in an uncompromising situation similar to a BL scenario. Despite this, Shinomiya continuing tried to show Kae he is a boy and show his masculine side. Due to his tsundere personality, he clashed instantly with Nanashima's personality. The two of them immediately get into an argument whatever Kae is involved or when she is left alone with one of her suitors. Despite their differences, Nanashima and Shinomiya are willing to compromise whenever the situation benefited them. Examples are their attempts to get Kae lost her weight and gain her attractive appearance, helping Kae with her shopping at a Comiket, helping her make chocolates in hopes of her winning a contest that allowed her to meet the producers and cast actors of the Mirage Saga anime. Later he begins to develop true feelings for Kae and how she admires his work, encouraging him for the play and telling him that he has a muscular physique making him blush. He also protects Kae from whoever tries to harm her. In Chapter 31, it is revealed he didn't have many friends when he was younger, due to his bad immune system and effeminate looks. His pet lizard, Thor, was his only companion. This seems to be the reason why Shinomiya was so blunt to Kae on his first appearance. Multiple times, he has accidentally landed on Kae's chest. Every time this happens, he gets a nosebleed - when young, 'innocent' characters are exposed to sexualized situations, they get nosebleeds.
