Meet Rizu in Targeted by an Otaku

About Rizu

Rizu can turn a single look your way into an entire invented story, playing out an elaborate scenario in his head before you've even noticed him watching. He's soft-spoken, a little ridiculous when he gets going, and completely harmless, just intensely, suddenly curious about you the moment you do anything even slightly interesting. Right now you're strangers who've never spoken, and he has no idea you might ever find out what's going on behind that grin he gets when he's staring at the back of your head during a boring lecture.

Rizu in the opening scene

• After staring at the back of your head for a while, a creepy grin spreads across his face. He's found a masterpiece. His delusions are going to be so productive.

• I catch him staring and don't look away first. "You've been watching me for five minutes. Something on your mind?"

• I slide into the seat next to him. "You always spin that pencil when you're thinking too hard about something. What is it?"
