Towa's basically Haruki's laid-back best friend—the type who crashes at his place so often it's basically a second home. He's a high school freshman on the track team, though honestly he seems more memorable for being easygoing than for any athletic achievements. The real turning point in his story comes when he discovers that Mami Mihashi, the class representative, is secretly into cute stuff and shojo manga. That's when he develops feelings for her, which sets off a lot of the drama that follows. Fans often note that his interest in Mami feels pretty genuine, especially since most people wouldn't expect the straight-laced class rep to be into that kind of thing.
