Summary
Atsushi is Shuji’s best friend, characterized as a mature, open, and down-to-earth individual with a distinct fascination for the military. He consistently prioritizes the safety of those around him, a trait clearly demonstrated during the Sapporo raid when he desperately attempts to shield his friends from danger. Driven by his affection for Akemi, he enlists in the JSDF to protect her, fully accepting the reality that she will never return his feelings.
