Kashima, Haruomi
Summary
First appearing in volume 3, Haruomi is twenty-eight years old and the son of a lineage that formerly served the Aoe family. He serves as the adopted older brother of Kashima Shuei, the current housekeeper for the Aoe household, and acts as both Kiichi’s personal bodyguard and lover.
