Takano Masamune Husbando

Takano comes from a moderately wealthy family. His mother is a lawyer and his father is a surgeon, therefore they had as much money as possible for financial stability. They left Takano to live alone because of their working hours and gave him expenses each month to live on, never even attending his school activities when invited to such events. During his days at high school, Takano often stayed in the school library where he would read books until the library closed because he didn't want to be home, knowing that his parents were always fighting and considered it boring. His mother asks where he found his cat and Takano explains that he found Sorata (the cat) and took him in because he was lonely, but his mother tells him that she hates animals. He later states to Ritsu that "it's better with the cat around".Saga first sees Ritsu Onodera trying to grab a book that is out of his reach. Saga helps him retrieve the book and Ritsu thanks him. This encounter causes Ritsu to develop feelings for him. When Ritsu began frequently watching him during the years that passed, Saga soon caught on to what the younger boy was doing and often wondered who he was. Three years later, Saga and Ritsu meet again by both reaching for the same book. Ritsu accidentally confesses his love for Saga, to which Saga replies by saying he wouldn't mind going out with him, much to Ritsu's surprise. They would eat together, go to the bookstore, and talk about their favorite literature. Later, Saga invites Ritsu to come to his house after school and Ritsu meets his cat.Saga tells Ritsu to meet him at his room while he gets some tea. After Saga brings the tea, he asks Ritsu why he loves him, because of the fact Ritsu doesn't know a thing about him. Ritsu tells Saga that though he didn't know much about him he knew a couple things here and there, for instance, the time Ritsu saw him rescuing an abandoned cat when no one else seemed to care about it. Saga asks Ritsu if he was a stalker out of embarrassment of being caught in a "scene straight out of a shoujo manga," which causes Ritsu to become embarrassed and apologize. Saga leans toward Ritsu and tries to kiss him but Ritsu, caught off-guard, pushes him away. Saga asks if that was what Ritsu wanted to him to do and, after a moment, kisses Ritsu.Late at night, Saga makes love to Ritsu and finally says Ritsu's first name and confesses his love to him, though Ritsu wasn't sure that he heard right and thought that he had only been hearing things. The two begin to hang out more often, even staying at the school library until closing time. During this time, they each begin to realize that they must really be in love with each other. Soon enough, Takano comes to have his first real love with Ritsu.
