Meet the five characters of O.N.E.
Plus a note from H.A. Risa on each - so that you get to know them a little more. 🦋
01
Daigo Nakamura
the new transfer student who quietly becomes the beating heart of his school year.
brilliant enough to top the rankings but too humble to want anyone to know. he'd rather throw his front door key to a stranger in need than take credit for his own kindness. underneath the easy smiles is someone still learning that it's okay to want things for himself too - not just to give until he's empty.

02
Hanna Nayuki
the girl everyone in school looks up to. she's smart, athletic, endlessly kind - and yet quietly terrified of what happens if she ever stops being perfect.
she geeks out over astrophysics, runs like she's outrunning her own doubts, and hides a fierce, driven side beneath all that warmth. when feelings threaten to complicate the future she's spent her life building, Hanna has to learn that she doesn't need to be at war with herself - that loving someone and chasing her dreams were never supposed to be opposites.

03
Seren Kobayashi
prickly, sharp-tongued, and utterly unbothered by what anyone thinks of her... at least on the surface.
hiding under a hoodie and carrying more than anyone around her realizes. a single act of kindness cracks her open to reveal fierce loyalty, a wicked sense of humor, and an unshakable devotion to the people who've earned her trust. she'll roast you mercilessly one moment and defend you to the death the next.

04
Sadi Wake
Hanna's best friend since childhood, chosen family in every sense, and the group's resident wildcard who hides sharp insight behind card tricks and bottomless chaos.
she's the one who notices what everyone else misses - who's really hurting, who's really in love - and isn't above a little scheming to nudge people where they need to be. beneath the jokes is someone fiercely protective of the people she loves, willing to do the hard, uncomfortable work of caring for both sides of a broken heart at once.

05
Aura Nakayama
confident, warm, and refreshingly direct - Aura says what she means and means what she says.
a volleyball star with a soft spot for chocolate and dogs, she has a gift for making people feel instantly at ease. when she falls for someone, she does it with her whole heart, choosing honesty over games and facing every problem head-on.
