Okay, JFantisist said that I ought to do some character profiles so my lovely readers don't get confused, and I'm blocked on the next chapter, so here goes:

Takahashi Misaki

Age: 24

Job: manga artist (can't write for shit)

Schooling: graduated from college, working on a master's in Art

Family:

Brother: Takahiro

Father: Yukihiro

Mother: Arina

Similarities to original character: Appearance, the Uke, basic personality, ability to cook

Differences: Age, libido, ability to clean (or lack thereof), job, loss of inhibitions, his attraction to Akihiko, the friendship with Shinobu

Usami Akihiko

Age: 18

Job: Student

Schooling: High school, first year of college

Family:

Brother: Haruhiko (currently pays for Akihiko's college tuition)

Father: Fuyuhiko (Runs business in Tokyo but cut off Akihiko forcing him to rely on his brother for support)

Mother: Alison; Deceased

Sister-in-law: Manami (She's still the same since she's not really important in the manga)

Similarities to original character: Appearance, the Seme, basic personality, inability to cook, passion for writing (won't come up for awhile though), his attraction to Misaki, friends with Hiroki since childhood

Differences: Age, job…that's about it, I tried to make him close to the original…maybe he's less experienced

Kamijou Hiroki

Age: Starts at 15, will be 18 in the next Act

Job: Teacher's assistant/Student

Schooling: Got a scholarship to a private high school, lived with Nowaki since summer before high school, now is first year in college (which he also got a scholarship for)

Family: not involved in the story. Kicked him out when he came out of the closet.

Similarities to the original character: working at the college, the Uke, appearance, hate-everything personality, his feelings for Nowaki

Differences: Age, situation, erm…that's about it

Kusama Nowaki:

Age: 19; Will be 22 in next Act

Job: Medical student; part timer in multiple jobs to pay for medical school.

Schooling: High school, some medical school

Family: None, orphan

Similarities to original character: appearance, age, obsessive love for Hiroki, the Seme, basic personality

Differences: Uhm…actually, I think he is exactly the same. It's just Hiroki's situation…well, that and he's interested in the younger man rather than the older one.

Takatsuki Shinobu:

Age: 35

Job: Professor at the university; part time teacher at a local high school

Schooling: Master's in literature

Family:

Father: Dean of students

Sister: Risako, younger, arranged engagement with Miyagi You, age 18

Marriage status: going through messy divorce

Similarities to the original character: personality, instantaneous love for Miyagi, his dislike for Hiroki, despite working with him…that's about it

Differences: Age, job, connection with Misaki, has to hide the fact that he is in love with Miyagi…that's all for now

Miyagi You

Age: 17

Job: High school student, taught by Shinobu

Family: unknown, none to speak of

Marriage status: engaged to Shinobu's younger sister through an Omiai, but is uninterested.

Similarities to original character: had an affair with his high school teacher from freshman year. She died; he went into mourning until he met Shinobu, looks like the younger version of Miyagi, personality, flirts with Hiroki to make Shinobu jealous.

Differences: age, job, his interest in Shinobu.

So this is newly edited since I realized that I changed a few things in the year or so since I wrote this.

Thanks for reading!
