A popular and handsome high school student. He has feelings for [Iroha](https://anilist.co/character/83237/Iroha-Igarashi) and often flirts with her in hopes of making her his girlfriend. He views [Tsutsui](https://anilist.co/character/83235/Tsutsui--Hikari) as his rival and is incredibly jealous of him to the point where he spreads false rumors about him.

Takanashi was initially snobbish, deceptive, and arrogant to the point of ruining Hikari Tsutsui reputation just so he could have a chance with Iroha Igarashi by spreading rumors that Hikari was a lolicon. Later though, after witnessing the gravity of his actions, he begins to feel a bit of remorse and eventually apologizes to Hikari's family along with his younger sister who assisted him with this act. He eventually begins to tag along with Hikari and his group of friends more. He begins to act more like a friend to Hikari as the story progresses and starts to care more about Arisa Ishino, although he continuously denied it that this hints he is having feelings for her and plays into the "tsundere" trope.

~!Post time leap he gets married to Arisa Ishino and they have a child!~

Hikari Tsutsui has never been popular, his one real friend is an even worse otaku than he is, and the only girls he's known are the two-dimensional women from his manga and video games. Until, that is, he's sent to help clean the pool as punishment and is partnered with the school's resident "bad girl", the very real, very three-dimensional Iroha Igarashi. Brash, beautiful, and known for her promiscuous behavior, Iroha is loathed by other girls but loved by the guys. And yet, inexplicably, she not only seems to be interested in Hikari, but proposes that they enter into a relationship! Unable to resist, Hikari agrees, but there's one big catch - Iroha's moving away in six months, so no matter what happens between them, in half a year Hikari's guaranteed to lose his REAL GIRL!<br><br>

Tsutsui Hikari is an otaku, and he mostly avoids social life. Hikari has only one friend at school, who is also a social misfit, and he is mocked brutally by most of his classmates for being creepy and weird. One day, he ends up having to clean the school pool with Igarashi Iroha, who appears to be pretty much everything he hates in real-life girls. She skips school, has a blunt manner, doesn't have female friends, and seems the sort to be promiscuous. However, she is friendly to Hikari, and even stands up to the people who make fun of him. Hikari's bitterness and trust issues lead him to say pretty harsh things to Iroha, but she never dismisses him as creepy. After a while, it starts to look like Iroha may become his first real-life, 3D girlfriend! Will he be able to handle it? <br><br>
