Junpei Manaka

The main character in the story. An overall nice guy attending middle (and later high) school who gets caught up in many embarrassing but endearing romantic situations. 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 girls to him. 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.
