Riku Mizuhara

Mizuhara Riku is a 1st year from Nekochiya. He lives in the same pension house as Ten, Chiaki, and others.

Riku has a very outgoing and warm personality, completely the opposite to Chiaki. He is often mistaken as a player since he goes out of his way to praise and make happy to all girls he encounters, often calling them 'cute'.

~!With the introduction of Mizuhara Rei, we discover that Riku has a mutual troubeling relationship with him. It is foreshadowed and implied in future chapters how Riku was living with Rei, but due to unknown circumstances moved out to the pension house. Riku does not want to return to Rei's house so much that he often spends all of his school and season breaks at the pension house.

Information not revealed in translated chapters: Later on we learn that Riku was adopted into the Mizuhara family with his biological mother being Ayame Fujiyoshi.!~
