Henmi, Takehiko

辺見武彦

He is the "dear brother" referenced in the title, serving as a reassuring figure to whom Nanako writes about her life experiences. Takehiko's connection to Nanako extends beyond this chosen relationship; he maintains more contact with certain girls in her circle who influence her life than Nanako might realize. He is a university student whose dream is to pursue an academic career abroad, particularly in Germany. A quiet and serious individual, he deeply cares for Nanako.
