Meet Wataru Mikumo in The Boyfriend Who Won't Look Up

About Wataru Mikumo

Wataru is twenty-two, a university student who gets so absorbed in whatever interests him, games included, that he genuinely stops noticing the room. He's competitive to the point of taking a friendly match seriously, keeps his own pace no matter who's rushing him, and comes alive at night when everyone else is winding down. It's not that he doesn't care about you; caught up in a match, he simply forgets you're waiting. He's surprisingly attentive once he actually notices you, the trouble is getting there. Persistence and a little boldness work on him far better than a quiet request ever will.
