Akane Aoi

Both Akane's hair and the irises in his eyes are reddish-brown in color, with his eyes having teal-colored pupils. As a human, Akane wears the standard Kamome Academy high school uniform, with a vest over his shirt. Like Teru, Akane wears the red-and-white Student Council armband over his left sleeve, which he keeps held in place with a safety pin. Akane normally wears a pair of rectangular glasses, which were enchanted for him by Teru so that he could not see superaturals and thus live a normal school life, though this comes at the cost of being more susceptible to supernatural activity such as Kodama's influence, and the supernatural influencing him with jealousy. He did not wear glasses before his entrance to Kamome Academy (Which is what led Aoi to wonder why he started wearing glasses in the first place), and also does not wear them in his form as a Clock Keeper. Most of the time, he has a watch on his left wrist. As a Clock Keeper, Akane has a long and thin ponytail (with a bead-like golden ornament) near the nape of his neck, though his hairstyle is otherwise unchanged. He wears a black long-sleeved collared shirt with a cream-colored tie, white vest, white pants, and dark-colored shoes. The shirt cuffs are also white, and he has a pair of thin armbands halfway between his elbows and shoulders. Similar to the other Clock Keepers, Akane wears a long dark blue cloak with a hood, which is cream colored with a pattern of small reddish triangles on the inside. The cloak is held closed by a golden braid between two tassels at the lapels, and there is a similar set of braids and tassels on his vest. Like Kako, Akane has an asymmetrical owl-like mask with a hooked nose, though he usually removes this right after his transformation. Akane often wears white gloves as well. Akane has a huge crush on Aoi, often letting his affection towards her overwhelm his sense of reason. What with them being childhood friends, Akane is extremely protective of her and would do anything to preserve her safety and well-being. He also doesn't appear to have any interest in anything or anyone other than her, and thus often acts cynical and sarcastic towards mostly anyone who isn't Aoi. In every other non-Aoi aspect of his life, Akane is a reliable and hardworking student with a professional attitude. He is noted to excel in sports and studies to the point of attain a peak but lean physique and high intellect (All that because Aoi claimed to like athletic and smart boys) and is currently the Vice President of the Student Council (Because Aoi also said that she liked guys who are in the Student Council). Akane bears deep hatred towards Supernaturals, believing that they do not know the inherent value of human life. He told Teru that he wished to continue the normal life he has led until now, despite having become one of the Clock Keepers. However, in his time with the Clock Keepers, he knows that at the very least, the Clock Keepers won't do any kind of abuse to the timeline, as what the New Present Teru suggests they would do to the New Present Akane (Who holds the original's memories) in Chapter 117, suggesting that at the very least, he has some sense of respect for them, albeit not at other supernaturals in general. In Chapter 69, Akane revealed Aoi's intentions in her desire to assist No.6; he says he had always known her genuine side ever since they were kids. Despite the revelation, he continues to love her, even going forth lying about hating her. The part he despises the most, however, was the part where she continued keeping to herself and putting on a cheerful act around others, which he royally called out Aoi on through his observation of her. While he is more focused on anything related to Aoi, Akane is observant enough to know other character's traits, as he was able to know and talk about Yashiro Nene's good traits, as yet another New Present iteration of himself who holds his memories tells her about how she is kind and strong when it counts in Chapter 127.
