The main character in the series, Manaka is an overall average nice guy who gets strung up in numerous embarrassing but endearing romantic situations throughout middle and then high school. Although his thoughts on girls can get quite perverted on occasion, his gentleness and kindness, as well as his selflessness at times, is what attracts them to him. His indecisiveness between the girls he loves—Aya, Satsuki, and Nishino—and inability to decipher their feelings is the focal point of the story. His dream is to make films as a director. While not academically gifted, he has great talent with cinematography that gradually develops as the story progresses. By the end Manaka is shown to be an upcoming director who was recently invited to join the Kadokura company, and reunites with Nishino. She agrees to go out with him once again after he asks.
Appearance
Personality
Often balancing his dream of working in the movie industry, he seeks that special someone as well. While still focused on the incident involving the strawberry panties, he often thinks and analyzes a situation as its happening, and does what he thinks is best. He often has perverted thoughts/actions when around girls at times, mostly in his head and tries to hide the emotions to the girls who are wondering what he is thinking.
All in all Junpei is nothing less than a gentleman to girls. He treats them with respect and looks out for them. Despite his perverted thoughts, he will avert his gaze if a girl needs privacy if the situation call a for it. Primarily this is due to Yui's unfortunate habit of undressing in her sleep.
