Misaki Takahas-At the start of the series, Misaki is about to sit for his college entrance examinations. His dream is to attend the fictional Mitsuhashi University, as that was the college his brother turned down in order to care for Misaki after their parents died. Although he seems childish and brash, Misaki is later revealed to be a person who is simply adamant on insisting against doing anything that might be troublesome for anyone else. This is due to the fact that he still blames himself for his parents' deaths (believing that if he had not asked them to hurry home, they would not have sped in the rain and crashed). Misaki and Usagi eventually begin a full-fledged relationship together which puzzles Misaki, who is not outwardly confident about his feelings towards the older man because of his narrow view of a typical relationship. After he moves in with Usagi, different struggles continue to storm the story with Misaki emitting his "Usa-mones", his self-made term due to attracting Haruhiko, Kaoruko, Usagi's father, and even captivating a non-Usami Ijuuin-sensei whom he helped after suffering a deep depression, which made Akihiko uneasy and jealous all the time. Currently, Misaki is a graduating student of Mitsuhashi University, and got accepted in Marukawa after a total of four interviews.

While his affections for Takahiro go unnoticed, he remains one of Takahiro's closest friends. Usagi is also revealed to be childhood friends with Hiroki; just as Usagi's affections for Takahiro goes unnoticed, however, Hiroki's early affections for Usagi also went without notice, though the two remain good friends. Shortly after meeting Misaki, he discovers that Takahiro has become engaged; seeing how upset this makes Misaki on Usagi's behalf, Usagi realizes that he loves the younger brother and labeled as "The One" and, after Misaki moves in with him after Takahiro moves away, the two eventually become lovers.He makes a cameo appearance in the first episode of the anime adaptation of Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi, the spin-off to Junjou Romantica.
