Tomoya Aki

Tomoya is described as a 'hardcore geek'. However, he is one of the three most notable students at Toyogasaki Academy, along with Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri Spencer Sawamura, due to his strong advocating of otaku culture at the school. Tomoya is an otaku and prefers reading comics and light novels, watching anime, and playing visual novels above anything else. He is an enthusiastic fan of Utaha's novel Koisuru Metronome. He is the founder and representative member of Blessing Software, serving as the producer, director and programmer. He is also the manager of Michiru's cover band "Icy Tail". When motivated, especially by otaku-related factors, he can be shown to be very hardworking. After his encounter with Megumi Kato, his strong desire to make his dream game drives him to take up several jobs for funding. He is extremely tenacious and would do anything to get what he wants, but is easily distracted. He was a typical consumer otaku who would spend the money at his part-time job on anime and games, but his money and time are later devoted to his own games. He is very friendly despite his eccentric personality, and he has a strong sense of morals and conviction when dealing with others.
