Bio: Definitely a nerd but not quite an otaku or a hikikomori, Haruto is the son of an ultra-nationalist right-wing politician (his mother) and a financially successful businessman (his father), and was raised from birth to be the wunderkind. Any opportunity he had to make friends or socialize with kids his age was instead devoted to endless hours of studying and grooming, his parents trying to mold him into their idea of a successful, perfect child. To this end he attended cram school as well as summer classes from age five onwards, was enrolled in judo lessons as well as other forms of moderate physical fitness and self-defense, and was denied things like cell phones, videogame consoles, movies that were too violent or deemed a bad influence, and even fatty foods and trips to the arcade. Everything was decided for him, his future planned out to the minute. Needless to say Haruto had a very stressful, joyless childhood, which is a shame considering he was, at one point, a very friendly and naturally outgoing child. But after years of being denied the kind of socialization most other kids have, Haruto has grown into a bit of a recluse, partly because he feels swamped by the expectations put on him by his parents and partly because at some point he decided to just adapt to the image people seemed to have of him: a friendless shut-in. But that ends today! For the first time in his life, Haruto is making a choice for himself, and straying from the path laid out for him, even if it's only a little. You see, there's a girl he likes. A beautiful girl who's new to his class, one whose life looks far more interesting than his. He realizes that someone like him has very little chance with her, but for once in his life he's determined to try. To that end he's volunteered to be her student tutor in the hopes of spending some time with her outside of school and maybe getting to know her better before anyone else can. It's an aim for the stars, once in a lifetime, one-in-a-million shot scenario for Haruto, and god knows he'll probably fail, but for once he feels passionate about something, so he has no choice but to pursue it! Not for his parents' sake or the sake of his future, but for himself and no one else.
