Creator of ''The Kan'', Misaki's favorite manga.

* [[SheCleansUpNicely He Cleans Up Nicely]]: Looks like an absolute wreck whenever the deadlines for his manga are near (think the Emerald guys from ''SekaiichiHatsukoi'' during the last days of their cycle), but is actually very, very handsome.

* BrilliantButLazy: he still gets his work done, but very few people alive have ever seen that process occur.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: seen more in SekaiichiHatsukoi than Junjou, but he has some really strange and frustrating...er, "quirks" that constantly leave his staff in a state of heightened irritability. Unfortunately he ''is'' just that good, so he's not going anywhere.



* ManipulativeBastard: he didn't just get where he is by being a great editor. Borders often on MagnificentBastard territory when it comes to manipulating other people's lives.

* SadistTeacher: He walks the line between a humourous version of this and the SternTeacher. He genuinely believes he is being fair and simply has high expectations of the students. On the other hand, he throws chalk and books at them for texting or talking during class, which would probably get him assault charges in real life. They call him "the demon" for a reason.




Nowaki, found orphaned on the day of a typhoon, started working out of junior high but is determined to enter university. He falls in LoveAtFirstSight with Hiroki and begs him to be his tutor in order to spend time with him. Eventually he realizes both his goals and becomes a pediatrician.



* {{Crazy Jealous Guy}}: If he thinks that someone is hitting on Hiroki, he suddenly becomes defensive. If you're Akihiko, you'll probably be scorned but if you're Miyagi, you're going to get punched.

!Junjou Mistake
!!Isaka Ryuuichiro
-> "My love is futile."

->Voiced by: ToshiyukiMorikawa

The son of a wealthy family that runs a publishing business, which he only entered because he had a knack for it and couldn't hack it as a writer. Crosses into the Romantica storyline as another editor of Akihiko's, and was the person who convinced him to publish as a teenager.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Like Aikawa, he has to deal with Akihiko's idiosyncracies on a regular basis.
* HiddenDepths: He acts goofy and is generally a pain to people around him. But he is smart, perceptive and can be manipulative when necessary.
* ImaginaryLoveTriangle: He irrationally assumes Asahina is in love with his father instead of himself.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Towards the end of the Mistake storyline he proves the reason he keeps Asahina around isn't because he can't take care of himself, but because he is emotionally dependent on him.
* TheObstructiveLoveInterest: One of the reasons why their story is called "Mistake".
* SmugSmiler: This combined with his confrontational personality when people complain about his success at work means he makes a lot more enemies than friends.

!!Asahina Kaoru
-> "Why are you always doing things to trouble me?! Is it that much fun?"

->Voiced by: RyotaroOkiayu

As his family was about to commit suicide together due to bankruptcy, Isaka's father found them and hired them, leading to Asahina becoming playmate to Isaka and eventually a sort of caretaker. His gratefulness to Isaka's father leads to Isaka misunderstanding just who he has feelings for.

* BeleagueredAssistant: To Isaka.
* TheObstructiveLoveInterest: The other reason why their story is called "Mistake".
