* ChildhoodFriend: Apparently and old acquaintance of Miké, although it's so far unknown whether they're more than friends. Regardless, she's the one whose opinion he seems to value more than anyone else's.

* OfCorsetsSexy: Despite her very wholesome outfit − a plain, long-sleeved shirt with a pendent lace and a long, frilly skirt −, the corset on her waist emphasizes her pretty generous chest.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:He was a perfectly nice guy when he got into Onigahama with Alice and their other friend, but eventually lost hope of ever achieving his dream and became a total {{Jerkass}} around the end of his first year. Alice herself isn't sure why he tured out that way.]]

* HateSink: His dishevelled look, angular face, threatening shadowing, the creepy font when he speaks, his generally petty attitude and finally his KickTheDog moment (see below) all make him the perfect punching bag for fans. It doesn't help that such negativity-filled (and non-comical) characters are unusual in Masuda's stories.
* KickTheDog: When [[spoiler:Handa exposes him as the instigator of the media scandal about the school's methods]], his only response is to [[spoiler:break her graphic tablet and then make fun of her social anxiety in front of everyone.]] It tells you something when even ''[[GenkiGirl Inohara]]'' is angry at him.
* PermaStubble: Always uncleanly shaved, which adds to his "lazy quitter" vibe. [[spoiler:He didn't have it during his first year in the school.]]


Added DiffLines:

* UnknownRival: It's revealed in chapter 26 that [[spoiler:while he and Alice were childhood friends and promised to become mangaka together, in terms of ''ability'' he wasn't even on her radar. Despite that he still tried desperately to fill the gap, before giving up.]]

* TheNicknamer: Downplayed. She usually adds "-chan" to people's surname or part of it. Handa is "Handa-chan", Hoozuki is "Hoo-chan", and her teacher Enma is… "Enma-chan". Hachi is the only exception, for some reason, as she just calls him "Yasaka".

* AmbiguouslyBi: Asks Hachi to pose as a nude model for her, before proudly proclaiming that she also wants to draw every girl's boobs. She also has quite a fondness for Handa as shown by a FunnyBackgroundEvent, but how much of all that is just her goofing around isn't clear yet.

* ShrinkingViolet: To the point she doesn't even want to show her face around people. Chapter 9 opens with a shot of her running and jumping through a window… just because someone tried to talk to her. It appears quite clearly in later chapters that she has social anxiety, especially around men. The only person she talks to with her "real" voice is Hachi, with whom she bonds… through sarcasm and insults, before they develop a genuine mutual understanding.

* {{Foil}}: Works as one to Hachi. Hachi initially takes everything too seriously and ends up working with a negative state of mind, while Ran doesn't take things seriously ''enough'' and tends to get too confortable as long as she finds something "fun". A great deal of their respective developments comes from acknowledging "what one can see and the other can't", to put it in Hachi's words.
