Personality[]

Masamune is quite smart as he got full marks in his transfer exam and seems to also excel in sports. When he's to please the women, he is shown to be quite flirtatious. Although his training made him tough and handsome, he still has a fear of bugs, especially spiders, which makes him squeal at times. It's shown that he's been able to "read people", as shown when he saw through Neko Fujinomiya's facade multiple times.

Plot[]

History[]

Masamune had met the heart-breaker, Aki Adagaki, on the day he was bullied, eight years ago. He was standing outside her mansion, claiming that he was rich. Once the bullies left because of the scary dogs, he saw her and they became good friends.

Going to Aki's garden very often, he would keep her company and give her gifts. In return for him being nice and honest to her, Aki would also help make Masamune stronger by stopping him from fearing her dogs, Lancelot and Sean. When Aki had helped Masamune take revenge on his bullies, she had also confessed her sadness as her parents were getting a divorce. Masamune had also vowed then to be by her side.

Later at home, Masamune thoughtfully decided what to do to cheer her up when Chinatsu Hayase (Masamune's sister) was trying to get his attention. Kinue Hayase (Masamune's mother), misunderstanding what he said, was upset he didn't like her donuts and went to make better and fresh donuts, which Masamune took into consideration that he shouldn't buy a gift because Aki didn't like donuts or candy because they have it there in her mansion.

He went to Central Park to gather flowers and was running to Aki's mansion, only to meet his bullies as he ran towards the mansion. However, he was caught up by his bullies in the garden. Screaming her name as he was held back by the bullies, Yoshino Koiwai disguised as Aki came into view, very annoyed. She said "I can't really come to like you, Piggy" and nickname him Piggy, which broke Masamune's heart and humiliated him in front of the bullies. After the heartbreak, Masamune asked his grandfather to help him. So for the past eight years, his grandfather had made him run, pull weights and keep fit to become a handsome and tall young man. Masamune took his features as an advantage to advance in getting his revenge on Aki.

Revenge Arc[]

When Masamune meets Aki Adagaki, he realized how getting her to fall for him was not going to be easy as she was a man-hater who enjoyed humiliating and rejecting everyone who confessed to her. She also has a way of giving boys she doesn't like derogatory nicknames. Extremely confident about his good looks, he unhesitatingly proceeded to flirt and make her fall for him. He seemed to be making progress as she often got nervous and blush around him, despite insulting him just like she did everyone else. He even gained help from Yoshino Koiwai, Aki's maid.

He used Yoshino to fulfill his plan to get revenge on Aki but before he met with her, she gathered information about him and found out that he was the chubby kid "Piggy Foot" who was turned down by Aki eight years ago. At first, he was greatly anxious about having someone finding out about his past-self, however after they met face-to-face, and revealing that she was the one who found out his identity, Yoshino told him that she too would help him get revenge on Aki. She took advantage of Aki's trust for her to help Masamune meet his goal.

Although he had a fever at the time and ended up acting a bit clumsy on stage, his clumsiness and inability to think clearly resulted in him actually kissing Aki Adagaki and letting Class 2-A's play end in success. Kanetsugu managed to return to stage all the while feeling frustrated and leaving Class 2-B no choice but to scrap their play, despite Gasou asking Futaba to fill in as prince for Class 2-B play. Tae Futaba replied, "Don't underestimate the role of chemistry here." Masamune had to go to the nurse's office afterward.
