example text

Visual Appearance
Has light gray hair down to about his mouth or a little above his shoulders, matching his gray eyes. He has a slender figure.

Personality
Nao often lies to avoid the truth. Other characters describe this as him 'telling a fairytale'. Despite its seemingly quirkiness, it hides a deep emotional scarring that torments him in his thoughts. Explained in episode 9, Maki describes his symptoms as being similar to that of a pathological liar. He is often insecure and doubts himself as his mother does not support his activities in the soft ball club.

Background
Since a young age, his mother is a helicopter parent: always watching over his shoulder to ensure things are the best for him. This unhealthy obsession makes Nao doubt himself, eventually leading to him even pretending to not see An in hopes of the game with the girls of the school being cancelled.
