Furthermore, even when he was completely exhausted from all his responsibilities (studying for his midterm exams, running his grandfather's shop and his other daily duties), he still pulled himself together and worked throughout the night to finish the Shizuku outfit.

Wakana cares a lot about others, agreeing to run his grandfather's shop after the latter had hurt his back. When excited about something or helping Marin with her cosplay outfits, his shyness can be put on standstill while he's focused. He was able to play Slippery Girls 1 and 2 to gain a better understanding of Shizuku's outfit, remaining fully observant to the details throughout and later chatted with Marin casually about it while they were out together (to the unease of some bystanders). This being said, Wakana's shyness doesn't completely dictate him. While he does have a natural interest in girls (evident by the dream), he isn’t at all perverted and is very self-conscious, usually apologizing in embarrassing scenarios. After having a certain dream involving Marin, Wakana was completely ashamed to the point where it was difficult for him to look or talk to her. Whenever flustered, he tends to freak out or freeze up, which has led to Marin gaining a joy in teasing him. He was surprised to find out that Shizuku was from an eroge (adult video game) and was reluctant to take Marin’s measurements for the outfit. Wakana is rather shy and modest, not doing well with embarrassing or lewd topics. When Marin neither labels him as a freak nor gets mad at him for criticizing her outfit, he agrees on her request to make her a cosplay outfit for the character Shizuku Kuroe. Due to growing up with his grandfather, Wakana has a great knowledge pertaining to outfits and sewing, having pointed out all the blatant flaws in Marin's prototype cosplay outfit, although he profusely apologized when he saw that his harsh criticism hurt her feelings. Wakana was completely mesmerized the first time he saw a hina doll, and this memory has remained with him throughout his entire life, to the point where he takes his love for them seriously and doesn’t call anything beautiful unless he means it from the heart. When the doll slipped from his hands, he leaped in order to catch it and frantically asked it if it was hurt. He also has his own and cherishes it greatly, to the point where he keeps it on his desk by his bedside and even talks to it. He is very knowledgeable and loving towards the dolls his grandfather’s store makes and sells. Wakana's main goal in life is to become a hina doll craftsman (a kashira-shi - 頭師) like his grandfather. His solitary attitude makes him rather submissive with others, claiming that he doesn’t mind his classmates leaving him to do after class clean up, although Marin correctly pointed out that they were taking advantage of him.

Wakana notes Marin Kitagawa and how she has her own interests in anime and the like, but unlike him, is free to be completely open with them and has many friends. This stems from his past where a girl angrily told him that boys shouldn’t like dolls and called him a freak, something that clearly affected him very deeply to the point where he closed himself off from everyone and lived his high school life as a recluse. It also has a pair of yarn knitting patterns on the sleeves, which are sewn together loosely for ventilation.Īt the start of the series, Wakana was a withdrawn person in high school, having no friends and a secret love and admiration for hina dolls. While shopping with Marin during chapter 33, Wakana purchases a jinbei, a summer outfit similar to his samue except for shorter sleeves and pants. He tends to have it over his shoulders when not wearing his headband. He wears wooden sandals and wears a white headband while working. Outside of his school uniform, he is always wearing a samue, a general work outfit consisting of a blue suit jacket and pants, with a simple white shirt underneath. He has short, black hair and gray eyes, along with a tiny mole on the outer lower corner of his right eye. When Marin asked him his height, he was interrupted before he could finish saying, meaning that he may be taller than 180cm. Wakana is quite tall for his age, standing at least 180 centimeters.
