Volume 2 Chapter 17 Character Introduction
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
[Yashiro Makoto]
Birth Month: December
Age: 3
Gender: Male
Height: 93 cm
Weight: 13 kg
Makoto is the protagonist of this story, though most just call him “Ma-kun.” He’s hauling around a full set of memories from his past life in modern Japan. After a brief streak of getting c**ky, he realized that showing off could inadvertently warp the world or bring trouble to those he loves. Now, he’s determined to take the secret of his reincarnation to the grave. (Of course, he’s already slipped up enough that the neighbors are calling him a child prodigy¹.)
[Yashiro Akari]
Birth Month: May
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Height: 168 cm
Weight: 56 kg
Akari is Makoto’s mother, a career woman struggling with the uphill battle of single parenthood. She relies heavily on her best friends-the married couple next door-to keep things afloat. She possesses a delicate, hauntingly tragic beauty. While people often praise her tall, slender build and the elegant lines of her legs, she’s too exhausted to care much for fashion, leaving those details to her best friend. At work, she’s all business with her hair up and contact lenses in; at home, she relaxes in glasses with her straight, dark brown hair pulled into a simple tie.
[Totsuka Suzuki]
Birth Month: April
Age: 3
Gender: Female
Height: 104 cm
Weight: 16 kg
Suzuki is Makoto’s childhood friend and self-appointed “wife.” Her nickname is “Ssu-chan.” She sports straight-cut bangs and pigtails, a look she copied from Akari-san’s casual days. Having spent too much time around Makoto, his trademark half-lidded stare has rubbed off on her, giving her a permanent deadpan expression. Thanks to her parents’ influence, she’s incredibly physically affectionate with Makoto-to an intense degree.
[Totsuka Mio]
Birth Month: February
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 57 kg
Mio is Suzuki’s mother and has been Akari-san’s best friend since elementary school. Despite her baby-faced features, she has the kind of bombshell figure (a G-cup) you’d see on a gravure idol. She sports wavy brown hair. After marrying Mitsuhisa, her former supervisor, she transitioned into being a full-time housewife. Since Akari-san is at the office all day, Mio puts her kindergarten teacher’s license to use by looking after Makoto.
[Totsuka Mitsuhisa]
Birth Month: August
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Height: 184 cm
Weight: 71 kg
Mitsuhisa is Suzuki’s father. While the world sees a tall, well-built dandy with a smooth, baritone voice, his wife Mio-san calls him “Mii-kun” in private. He keeps his hair in a tight, slicked-back side part. Out of respect for Akari-san’s difficult circumstances, he used to try to fade into the background when the Yashiros were over, but things have finally settled into a comfortable normalcy. He and Makoto are now close enough to constantly trade lighthearted jabs.
[Hagiri Yuna]
Birth Month: May
Age: 2
Gender: Female
Height: 92 cm
Weight: 13 kg
A childhood friend from the other neighboring unit. Since both her parents are working professionals, she’s already enrolled in a three-year preschool program², meaning she doesn’t see Makoto as often as the others. They’re still close enough to be “playground buddies,” though.
[Hagiri Jin]
Birth Month: July
Age: 1
Gender: Male
Height: 81 cm
Weight: 11 kg
Yuna’s younger brother.
[Hagiri Hitomi]

Mother of Yuna and Jin. She works at City Hall.
[Hagiri Koji]

[Meguro Ryuhei]

Gender: Male
Height: 179 cm
Weight: 67 kg
A bachelor living in the apartment directly below the Totsuka family. He’s an office clerk at a local kindergarten, but his real passions are photography and road biking. He’s skilled enough with a lens to win city-wide contests, and he often helps the Yashiro and Totsuka families with their own photos.
[Saegusa Tome]
Birth Month: July
Age: 86
Gender: Female
Height: 149 cm
Weight: 49 kg
An old woman living in the neighborhood.

TL Notes:
Notes:
• Makoto – The protagonist, the son of Akari who now lives with the Totsuka family while his mother works, is a reincarnated adult who retains memories of a past life in modern Japan. He is a three‑year‑old boy (93 cm, 13 kg) attending Hikonokami Kindergarten, presenting a gentlemanly demeanor that contrasts with his age, protective of ssu‑chan, and endowed with a cynical, socially‑aware inner monologue that makes him appear as a child prodigy with advanced behavior.
• Akari – Makoto’s mother, also Ma‑kun’s mother, is a 28‑year‑old single parent (168 cm, 56 kg) who works as a banker and is returning to work after childcare leave. She is a natural beauty who values efficiency, has a warm smile, and is described by her son as beautiful; she is beautiful even without makeup, with smooth skin, a fragile melancholic face, straight dark brown hair, and a slender posture with a sharp career‑woman aura. She lives next to her best friend Mio, a high school teacher’s daughter, and raises her newborn son as a single parent. She is currently caring for her newborn son, Ma‑kun, and will appear in a gray casual pantsuit for the ceremony.
• Suzuki – Su‑chan, the daughter of Mio and Mitsuhisa and close playmate of Ma‑kun, is a bright, cheerful child with straight hair tied in a topknot and braided pigtails, standing 104 cm tall and weighing 16 kg. At around one and a half years old she began toilet training and climbing the jungle gym, and though later depicted as a three‑year‑old kindergarten student, she remains notably bright for her age, recognizing her parents and showing affection toward Makoto, whom the adults jokingly call her future husband. She wears a ceremonial uniform, makes a soft mufu sound when excited or suppressed, and habitually fixes a deadpan stare. As Makoto’s childhood friend and self‑proclaimed wife, she is also a friend of the protagonist.
• Mio – A 28‑year‑old housewife (164 cm, 57 kg) with a baby face and G‑cup figure, she is the mother of Su‑chan (also called Ssu‑chan) and the wife of Mitsuhisa. With a gentle, rounded composure and friendly elegance, she often wears a gray casual suit and skirt and is noted for her prominent chest. As a licensed kindergarten teacher, she handles housework and morning routines with a cheerful, playful personality. She is Suzuka’s mother and Akari’s best friend (the mother of Makoto), serves as Makoto’s parent/guardian figure, and is the godmother of Ma‑kun. Perceptive and teasing, she enjoys babysitting Ma‑kun and encourages a future marriage between her daughter Su‑chan and him, while being skilled in cooking and photography. Her beauty shines even in casual, unpolished moments, and she is admired for her kind, fashionable demeanor.
• Mitsuhisa – He is a tall, handsome man with a deep voice, standing 184 cm and weighing 71 kg, with slicked‑back hair. At 33 years old he works as an IT professional and serves as the breadwinner for the Totsuka family, supporting Mio and their daughter Su‑chan (also known as Suzuka). He is a doting husband, hardworking, and somewhat reserved toward Akari, while also being meticulous about his grooming. He often scowls, is careful with his appearance, and acts as the family photographer using an expensive DSLR and tripod. He is close with Makoto.
• Yuna – Hitomi’s daughter, a nearly two‑year‑old (92 cm, 13 kg) childhood friend who lives next door, is currently in a no‑no phase and experiencing baby regression. She is enrolled in a three‑year preschool program at Sannen Hoiku nursery and is one grade below Makoto.
• Jin – Hitomi’s younger son — originally a six‑month‑old who stayed in a stroller — is now a 1‑year‑old boy (81 cm, 11 kg) in the ‘Terrible Twos’ (No‑no phase), and also Yuna’s younger brother.
• Hitomi – A 25-year-old (now 26) neighbor from Building B, standing 155 cm tall and weighing 51 kg, works at City Hall, is the mother of Yuna and Jin, and is visibly exhausted by her toddler’s ‘Terrible Twos’ phase.
• Koji – Father of Yuna and Jin. 27-year-old (172 cm, 66 kg) working at City Hall.
• Meguro – A neighbor living below the Totsukas, a 28‑29‑year‑old single man residing on the first floor of the apartment, stands about 179‑180 cm tall, weighs 67 kg, works as a kindergarten office clerk, is an amateur prize‑winning photographer and road‑bike enthusiast, and also cycles.
• Saegusa Tome – Neighboring grandmother. 86-year-old woman (149 cm, 49 kg). An elderly neighbor woman who enjoys gossiping and meddling in the romantic lives of the younger generation.
