Ame Nochi Hare/Characters

Below is the character sheet for Ame Nochi Hare.

Hazuki Yamanoi
An ordinary high school student before he was afflicted with the transformation curse, Hazuki does not differ much from an average teenage boy if not for his fantastic culinary skills, which he picked up as a result of handling all the household chores while his parents work. Tends to be rather timid and unassertive, especially when it comes to romance, although currently he is the only one among the five that is shown to have a definite love interest (with Asumi). He has a brother by the name of Natsuki, whose personality is almost the opposite of Hazuki: athletic and outgoing.

Goes by the name Tsukiko whenever he is transformed.
