Jiro Nagakura

Jiro Nagakura (永倉二郎, Nagakura Jirō) is one of the students at Oto High School. He initially comes off like a complete idiot to most, and while that might be somewhat true, he is also very considerate and has a keen eye when it comes to noticing if the people he surrounds himself with are in some way troubled. He is childhood friends with Mikado Yaguchi.

Appearance
Jiro is "slightly below average" height for his age, an attribute that seems to torment him a bit, seeing as it is an immediate thing for people to latch onto if they want to tease or insult him. He is noted to be somewhat handsome by Kota Sagano, which he agrees upon, revealing that he used to be popular in middle school and junior high due to his looks, and to this day the freshmen in high school seem to pay more attention to him during the first weeks or so because of his handsomeness. It is worth to note that later on in the series Ryu Katsunaga implies that Jiro is not nearly good-looking enough for Mikado. Yui Sendo also implies that both Jiro and Ryu are dopey looking, contemplating if this is Mikado's type.

Personality
Jiro is very kind and well-meaning, however slightly thoughtless and often too bold for his own good. He is somewhat insecure about his own slowness, which, despite his moderately good looks, seems to turn girls away from him.

Background
Jiro comes from a family consisting of at least five members: Himself, his little sister Ichika and their mother and father, as well as the family's pet cat Saburo, which Jiro saved from getting kicked around by bullies as a young kid.

While his parents are assumably proud of him, the most we've (so far) seen of his interactions with them was once, when his Father came to nag on him, telling him to help with work. During this interaction, he wondered whether Jiro takes after him or his wife, to which Jiro replied that he's a mix of them both.

He has a very loving relationship with his little sister Ichika. They were together at the Oto High School cultural festival, where Ichika met Heisuke for the first time and developed her crush on him. Much later on in the series, Jiro also explains that he can understand Heisuke's worry for Yui, seeing as he is a big brother as well. As a matter of fact, he and Heisuke use their feelings of worry as big brothers to get Yui to let them help her out of her situation with her abusive father.
