Moriya, Shuuichi

森屋秀一

He serves as an assistant to Ashirogi Muto during the publication of Perfect Crime Party. He is one year younger than both Mashiro and Takagi. Following his selection as a finalist in the Tezuka Award, he chose to leave design school to focus entirely on manga.
Moriya appears polite, yet his internal thoughts reveal a deeply negative opinion of others. He can be rather sharp-tongued at times. Moriya holds that manga should prioritize art and creativity, arguing that one should not concern themselves with popularity, as doing so leads nowhere.
