Edowaga Takeru is the main male lead in this series. When we first meet him we see him as a delinquent whos used to getting everything his way. Since his father is the schools principal none of the teachers dare to stand up against him. Therefore hes able to get whatever he wants and he will do anything for it. He is also very goodlooking and is considered the most popular boy in the school. Hes dubbed Prince of Attraction by his female fans. His class is a complete mess and consists of strange kids that form his gang. However as the manga progresses we see that theres a softer and kinder side within him. He protects and cherishes those close to him. He is also extremely intuitive and seems to understand everyones pain and how to help them. Hes also very childish at times such as wanting Kayano to hold his hand while he sleeps. Hes also very prideful. He doesnt allow anyone to scold or poke fun at him except for Kayano. He hardly ever admits that hes wrong and if he was wrongly accused of something he would rather show you that hes innocent as opposed to telling you. Hes also very blunt with his words. He doesnt beat around the bush. Instead he would tell you how he feels up front. When Takeru was in middle school he would get into a lot of fights however we learn later on that in most instances he fought to protect others. Takeru is the type of person that you could rely on and because of that his many followers admire and respect him. On the other hand he has never learned to depend on someone else. He holds his own troubles within himself so that it wouldnt bother others. On the outside he acts very confident and sure about himself. Hes almost always composed. However he has his own fair share of insecurities. As a child he was extremely neglected by his busy parents who never had the time for him. Basically he grew up alone and he carries those scars with him when we meet him. He didnt really open up to anyone. Of course that soon begins to change and his cold heart begins to warm up. Being the oldest son Takeru is expected to take over the school after his father retires. This heavy responsibility is not something he wants to bare. Personally I dont think becoming a principal suits Takeru at all. However he knows his duty and responsibility and accepts it. Overall Takeru is a pretty complex character. You never know what he will say or how he will react. But he is very kind and instinctively looks out for everyone. Plus hes gorgeous and ohsoadorable.
