Character Profiles

Volume 1 - Chapter 7

Yuma - Just Break a Leg

The true heir to the duck lips and “=" eyes. He didn’t start out as a shorty, but if he’d been tall, the scene where he breaks the punk’s leg would've been too controversial. So I’m glad he’s a shorty. Designed after a chicken.

---

Osamu - Four-Eyes 4Evo

A straightforward character whose only initial character description was “guy with glasses.” His catchphrase is “What the...?!” At any given moment, there's a high possibility that a sweat drop is on his face. If you collect 50 Osamus without a sweat drop, you can exchange them for a chance to win one golden Osamu.

---

Replica - The Round Black Floaty Thing

Autonomous all-purpose sidekick that takes care of all exposition. Indispensable for making the story flow smoothly, and very convenient. Designed after my rice cooker.

---

Kitora - By A-rank, for A-rank

She's skilled and proud, and that makes her vulnerable—my favorite kind of character. My editor said, “The readers might not like her personality.” So her bust size was increased to counterbalance that.

---

Arashiyama - Brother and Sister Complex

| like this character a lot, but DRAWING HIS HAIR IS A PAIN.

---

Mitsuru - Right, Arashiyama?

I've always felt that characters with sleepy eyes are competent. Therefore, Mitsuru is probably competent. He was more of a pretty boy in the initial design, but his current looks are more interesting.

Volume 2 - Chapter 16

Jin - The Bonchi Rice Cracker Diet

He's an elite agent of sexual harassment, using his Side Effect to pick out women who'll better tolerate his advances. Speaking of advances, he moves the plot along really well, but he’s so convenient that it's a problem. He has the same silhouette as Arashiyama, so it's rumored that one of them will get an afro or a mohawk at his next power-up.

---

Chika - Neighbor Magnet

A quiet character with a tough-luck past—one of the character types I’m not good at. But she shows some backbone in the next volume, so it gets easier. People say she’s slowly getting smaller while her hair antenna is getting bigger, so it’s possible her antenna is absorbing her body.

---

Miwa - A-Rank Sister Complex (The Serious One)

A guy with a sister complex who's popular with female readers. He's always angry, but his forehead is covered by hair, so it’s hard to draw a convincing angry face. Not a very functional design. I'd like to give him a haircut one of these days.

---

Yoneya - A-Rank Short Sleeves (Or so you think.)

He's always had lifeless eyes, but | kinda like him. I'm glad a lot of people noticed his buttons. He’s actually a cousin of Shiori, who appears in volume 3. Unfortunately, his family doesn’t run a rice store, unlike what his name implies.

---

Narasaka - A-Rank Mushroom Cut (Sniper)

He appears to be a relative of a mushroom, but he’s actually in the bamboo family. My assistants and editor think he’s really skilled for some reason, even though he hasn't done much. Do people judge a book by its cover after all?

---

Kodera - A-Rank Glasses (Glasses)

He's A-Rank but always breaking out in a cold sweat. He is always behind the team, even though lower-ranked agents grumble about him. He's a glasses-wearing character who's often surprised. Since that’s the same as Osamu's role, it's rumored that the one who loses at the high jump will have to turn into a delinquent or reveal that he’s gay.

Volume 26 - Chapter 231

Suwa's team 7

Suwa-san – Donburi on-site foreman
Ui-chan – Serotonin gal
Oki – Stress-Absorbent Male
Ossamu – Cheese-Spammer Four-Eyes
Katori – Ace spurred on by a carrot

Attack: A+
Defense: B
Wits: B+
Kindness: A+
Creativity: S

It might not look it, but Suwa emphasized overall balance with his draft picks. Oki and Operator Ui bring a necessary injection of kindness to the squad, which is great for neutralizing Katori's venom. Meanwhile, Ossamu has an established rep for outlandish schemes, and every time his glasses glind, Kodera somehow gets roped into the madness, Rokuro gets a new lease on life, or the whole exam is thrown into chaos. When Katori is sent to the graveyard, she can be revived by sacrificing a good-looking dude. This squad is clever about unleashing last-ditch options, so keep an eye on them to see how high they'll climb

Wakamura's team 11

Rokuro – Successor covered in flop sweat
Mario – I ain't your mom
Hanzaki – slow going, easy breezy
Hisato – Central pillar in the shadows
Hyuse – That's just common sense, for Canadians

Attack: A
Defense: A
Wits: B-
Kindness: B+
Canada: S

Since the noncommittal Captain Wakamura was chosen as a captain out the blue, he screws up just about everything. Despite Operator Hosoi's attempts to motivate him, his glasses never manage to glint with brilliance, and the squad's been struggling from the start. Wakamura, with his tendency to fall into a negative spiral, probably shouldn't have been paired with Hanzaki, who means well but tends to be on the less motivated side. Sasamori believes in the squad's potential, but will his best efforts ever be rewarded? Meanwhile, how does the taciturn Canadian feel about all this? I find myself hoping they manage a dramatic comeback from last place.

Mizukami's team 9

Mizucoming – Broccoli Confessional
Kon-chan – Squad 9's conscience
Arafune – Just here for a good time
Kashio – real flexible, this guy
Teruya – a fire-type gal.

Attack: B+
Defense: A
Wits: S
Kindness: B+
Food: S

Mizukami’s Squad 9 is so full of vim and vigor that the judges have been overheard saying, “It looks like Mizukami’s broccoli is bushier by the day.” Operator Kon's meals provide a morale boost, and from the cocksure look on Arafune’s face, you wouldn't even think this was an official test. It seemed like the captain's sneaky one-man show would come back to bite him on Day 4, but his big lie got exposed, and somehow the overall vibe among the squad actually improved (?). Did his gambler’s resolve lead to a lucky break? Keep an eye on the rapid growth of the two young'uns, who are too goody-goody for their own good.

Volume 27 - Chapter 238

Ninomiya's team 8

Ninomiya – Socially inept teacher
Kagami – “Going at her own pace” Artist
Azuma-san – Old?
Chika – Targeted Monster
Yuzuru – A boy's assertion (voice of the heart)

Offense: S
Defense: A+
Intelligence: B
Kindness: B
Trion: SS

The n.8 squad has been having a blast with their overwhelming amount of Trion, but the stakes have risen and Chika's hair strand is getting tousled. There is a recurring loop of Ema thinking “You could've mentioned that earlier” towards captain Ninomiya and captain Ninomiya thinking “you, could have spoken up” towards Ema…… That energy was gathered and reused in the flashbacks of chapter 236. Please look forward to the next volume, where Kagami's artistic spirit will be on full display.

Utagawa's team 1

Utagawa – No weaknesses…?
Sayoko – Overcoming her weaknesses
Ultima – Believes that younger people are amateurs
Yuma – Pro at being Japanese
Kotaro – Tiger of potential

Offense: A+
Defense: B+
Intelligence: B-
Kindness: A
Consideration: S

Since the start of the test, team 1 has continued to maintain a good atmosphere thanks to captain Utagawa's thoughtful follow-up. Although Yuma and Kotaro are a bit slow with the general assignments, they are earning solid points from other tasks, placing them in a decent position for a team that possesses a Neighbor (compared to Canada). Will Sayoko ever be able to talk smoothly with the opposite gender? Can I find an opening to insert an Urushima episode? I'm begging you…… Yuma! The author is praying for you.

---

Kodera's team 6

Kodera – Strategic glasses
Rokuta-senpai – Single-task specialist
Okudera – 80 point everything
Muller – Bag of kindness
Kitora – Tiger of high motivation

Offense: A-
Defense: A+
Intelligence: A+
Kindness: B+
Motivation: S

Pulled by two highly motivated A rankers, team 6 is ready to take first place in the final round. Although the unit strategy is hard, the calculation seems to suggest that the sealed environment can be overcome by the kindness of Miura picking 6 per day. To make up for their lack of Trion, a lot of effort is put into captain Kodera's glasses, and Okudera's stable gives the impression that he is indeed a student of Azuma. It can be said that the main concern at the moment is how Operator Rokuta, who is not good at parallel processing, will fare in the combat phase.
