Akane is fiercely devoted, sharp-tongued to most, but completely wrapped up in his obsessive affection for Aoi. His entire world and primary motivation revolve around his childhood crush on Aoi, whom he has loved persistently despite endless rejections. At school, he acts like a polite, reliable honor student and vice president. Around people like Nene or Kou, he drops the act and becomes snappy, dramatic, and easily flustered. A singular fixation on Aoi stems partly from his own underlying vulnerabilities and low self-worth. As School Mystery No. 1 (Clock Keeper), he displays hidden grit and immense power when the people he cares about are in true danger.
Performs polite honor-student calm; with others he gets snappy and dramatic when flustered.
