History Characters / HisFavorite

* {{Gayngst}}: Though it's gotten better, he's still shown to be a bit insecure about his sexuality and still dislikes to show affection for Sato in public.

* LuminescentBlush: %%Prone to going tomato

%%* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't catch onto Yamanaka's advances until too late

%%* DoomedAutographedItem:
* TheFatalist: Back when he was twelve and severely overweight, Satou believes the bullying, his family's neglect and even Yoshida's kindness amounts to nothing in the long run and maintained a stoic, [[PerpetualFrowner perpetually frowning]] disposition because of that. %%He drops this mentality upon escaping FatCamp and meeting Yoshida again

%%* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: When he first realised

%%* MiddleChildSyndrome:

* {{Sadist}}: Though not nearly at the same level as Tsuyako, and he seems to control it for the most part--except around Yoshida. %%Unlike the stereotype, however, he's turned off by those who blindly obey or idolize him

%%* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Primary crush is

%%* BlackBeadEyes:

%%* HatesBeingAlone:

%%* BetaCouple:
%%* BlackBeadEyes:

%%* NonStandardCharacterDesign:

%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold

%%* LoveAtFirstSight:

%%* HasAType:

%%* TheDividual:

%%* {{Narcissist}}:

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Murakami can make a very convincing and incredibly attractive girl with just schoolgirl uniforms, a wig and makeup. He uses the disguise to trick Yoshida

* TheDeterminator: %%The circumstances

** This even at the start of the manga when the girls were already infatuated with Satou. The earliest chapters had them just being angry at Yoshida and simply asking Satou out (and getting rejected) normally but by volume twelve, they're absolute [[StalkerWithACrush psycho stalkers]] who mobbed Satou every waking moment in school while trampling anyone who stands in the way of their non-existent relationship. This can be justified by them growing more obsessive and desperate as Sato making clearer and clearer that he isn't interested.

%%* LoveMakesYouCrazy:
%%* LovingAShadow:

%%* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace:

%%* StalkerWithACrush:

* WomanScorned: %%Unfortunately for Yoshida

The cutest girl in Yoshida's classroom that he had a crush on before she was never seen again.

%%* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:

* CameraFiend: Niko who is an aspiring photographer had complied ''thirteen photo albums'' worth of Satou like a stalker and sells them around the school. She also crops Yoshida and anyone not Satou out of the pictures
%%* OneWomanArmy:

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane:
%%* ShrinkingViolet:
* StalkerWithACrush: A subtle, milder example compared to the rest of hormone-ridden female students as she pines Satou from afar while the others swarm him, knowing she doesn't have a chance with him.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's the only female admirer of Satou to truly accept his relationship with Yoshida, despite her doubts and infatuation, and encouraged him to talk things through due to an incident she involuntarily caused through [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane supernatural means]]. Before that, she was repulsed at the other girls' attempts in getting close to Satou, which involves uncomfortably surrounding him and demanding his attention, especially the ones not in his class and finds Niko gaslighting Yoshida uncalled for.
%%* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:

%%* ButtMonkey:
%%* TheFaceless:

* {{Foil}}: They and the general female populace of the school are nothing more than flat, background characters with non-existent love life because of Satou (The former are unable to find girlfriends because the latter always goes after Satou, despite already being taken and disinterested). However, the boys, while infatuated just as easily over a pretty face, can handle rejection involving Satou better than the girls can. They fall head over heels for an absolutely stunning girl that happened to drop by in the school, only to be smacked in the face with the reveal she's only there for Satou. However, they are quick to accept and begrudgingly move on unlike the girls who believe there's no turning back and continue to relentlessly harass Satou. They are also drawn as TheFaceless and have absolutely zero focus whereas the girls are [[OnlySixFaces nearly identical apart from their hairstyles]] but still are as detailed as the main cast and cause the major source of conflict between the main couple.

%%* UnnamedParent:

* AbusiveParents:
* AwfulWeddedLife:

* BigSisterBully:

%%* GirlNextDoor:
%%* NiceGirl:

%%* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan:

%%* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim:

* AnythingThatMoves: There doesn't seem to be much of a limit as to who Yamanaka will hit on.

* SecurityCling: Grips onto and hides behind Sato if he's scared or embarrassed. He doesn't seem to realised this wh

* PeekABangs: Both have a side-swept fringe that covers one of their eyes.

* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: What sets Yoko apart from virtually every other girl who wants romance in the series is that she finds people attractive based on their personality rather than superficial looks. This is why she's going out with Akimoto whose kind, sincere nature and gold heart outweigh his pudgy, cartoony-looking appearance.
** Inversely, she is repulsed by people using their good looks to get what they want (Yoko instinctively knew Yamanaka's underlying deviousness when he tried hitting on her) or are two-faced in nature (Initially, she admired Nishida's heroic bravery but took it back upon learning he couldn't decide between Yoshida, whom he has a case of "LoveAtFirstSight" for and cannot accept him being already taken, and Azuma, his childhood crush he brushed aside for the former but still have romantic feelings).

* NoHeroToHisValet: The reason why Sato loves him so much is because he doesn't afraid to stand up against Sato. And making "cute" expression while doing so.

* [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim What Does He See In Him]]: In a similar vein to how the girls view Satou to him, Yoshida sometimes openly wonders why is he even going out with Satou, bringing up good points like his twisted personality underneath his seemingly good exterior, right in front of him. Regardless, Yoshida doesn't really mean it and still loves him, flaws and all.

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler: Sato was much more sadistic in his backstory and in earlier chapters of the manga, but his tormenting of Yoshida has been toned down considerably lately, and he's grown into a much nicer person who is more willing to help others out. Lampshaded by the female Nozawa who lamented that the "super dark flame" in his eyes has disappeared and was replaced by the color pink after spending an entire summer vacation with Yoshida on a tropical island]].

* NoHeroToHisValet: The reason why he loves Yoshida so much is because, unlike his female admirers (and Johan), the former doesn't afraid to stand up against Sato. And making "cute" expression while doing so.
