Nakamura

Appearance Nakamura has short black hair with curled-up bangs that often hide his eyes. He has narrow, monolid eyes with tiny dotted pupils. Nakamura is light-skinned, and he has a slender, tall body. Nakamura is typically drawn wearing a traditional gakuran or other various types of school uniform, usually all buttoned-up. In Syundei's older artwork, Nakamura also wears a black cap matching his gakuran, although this was abandoned in later artworks. Indoors, Nakamura wears the uwabaki while outdoors, he typical wears black loafers. One of Nakamura's major characteristics is his shyness. He struggles to interact with people, to the point where he fails to properly communicate his thoughts despite practicing in his head. Because of this, he tries to avoid social situations and confrontations at all costs due to his fear of being judged and chastised by others. Nakamura displays a lot of insecurity and low self-esteem, talking down to himself quite often for being a "total loser" and not believing that Hirose and him could become friends. This mindset breaks however when Hirose's friends are put in the picture, in which Nakamura sees them as rivals or in Oomori's case, an inferior. This behavior indirectly shows that he can be easily jealous or irritated around people who get in the way between him and Hirose. Another notable part of Nakamura is his clumsy personality, often getting himself in the comedically embarrassing situations the series is known for, such as when he stepped on Hirose's napkin in an attempt to pick it up for him first. Despite his shy personality, Nakamura tries to be caring and thoughtful towards others. When it was revealed that Kawamura was too sick to play her role, Nakamura was willing to be a replacement last minute, using that action as a proper thank you for the manga she drew for him. Furthermore, Nakamura also gives Hirose a crab keychain as a gift, seeing how Hirose was admiring the crabs in the aquarium. (You do the story)
