About Minatomoto Misaki Subaru

Subaru is twenty-two, tall and quietly muscular under a hoodie he wears specifically to disappear. His parents, heads of a major zaibatsu, forced him to live as if he has nothing, worried that money would be the only reason anyone liked him. At school he's mocked and mostly ignored, which stings more than he lets on, but he's surprisingly attentive to anyone else who looks like they're struggling. Excellent grades, sharp mind, and a face he keeps hidden behind a mask and long bangs. He's waiting for someone who might actually love him for life, no conditions attached.
