Makoto Ryuzaki

Ryuzaki stands at 157 cm with short, dark hair styled with slight flips at the ends and thin, expressive eyebrows. She is frequently depicted with a confident or mischievous grin that matches her disposition. Her standard Kuromata High uniform is typically paired with a light-coloured knitted sweater vest over her button-down shirt and necktie — slightly more personalised than the standard configuration.

Ryuzaki is high-energy, straightforward, mischievous, and strategically perceptive in a way that does not always announce itself as strategy. She breaks social boundaries as a default mode — asking to touch Ruri's horns immediately was not a calculated move, it was just her first impulse and she followed it. The strategic thinking operates underneath the impulsiveness.

The Risque Disposition

The author describes her as "kind of risque" and says this is "definitely something about her." She carries scissors readily enough to snip the President's hair when he dozes off in meetings. She asks to touch a half-dragon's horns before establishing much social context for the request. She is not trying to be transgressive for effect — she is simply someone whose threshold for what requires advance permission is lower than most people's.

The Strategic Observation

She identified that Ruri's isolation was a social friction point that needed to be resolved for the entire school body's benefit — not just Ruri's. She observed that Ruri was being treated as a "vague presence that scares them" and understood that the mechanism for changing that was visibility through structured shared activity. She coordinated with Takemoto to put Ruri in a role that would produce exactly that outcome. The recruitment was energetic and genuine and also a deliberate plan.

The Student Council Dynamic

Her working relationship with Student Council President Chikuma Kosaka is close, frequently argumentative, and specifically complicated by their incompatible movie preferences. She argues with him about films. She snips his hair when he sleeps. This is apparently a functional professional relationship.

Introduction and Committee Recruitment — Chapters 12–13

Ryuzaki was introduced at a meeting for first-year committee representatives, where she encountered Ruri and Akari Maeda. While most students had maintained careful distance from Ruri, Ryuzaki approached with immediate, energetic curiosity — formally introducing herself, welcoming the human-dragon hybrid to the committee, and expressing genuine excitement about what Ruri's presence meant for the school year.

The Horn Inspection — Chapter 17

During a planning session, Ryuzaki asked to touch Ruri's horns. She described the experience directly: "This is blowing my mind!! So smooth and silky... and kinda chilly to the touch?" Her tactile observation that the horns were chilly is one of the first peer-level confirmations in the series that Ruri's draconic biology has passive physical properties beyond the visible. Ryuzaki was neither alarmed nor performing normalcy. She was simply very interested.

The Strategy Revealed — Chapter 18

Ryuzaki explained to Ruri the actual reason for the recruitment: she had coordinated with Takemoto Sensei to place Ruri in a visible committee leadership role so that the school could grow familiar with her. "Through this role, you can reintroduce yourself to the whole school... so they'll grow familiar with you." The committee Vice-Chair position was the vehicle. Ruri being known to everyone for doing committee work — rather than remaining the vague, scary presence in the corner — was the goal. The plan succeeded.

Sports Festival Oversight — Chapter 26

During the Sports Festival, Ryuzaki managed the logistical transitions between subcommittee chairs, praised Maeda's "Go Wild Like a Dragon" backdrop, and oversaw the event's execution. Her role at this point shifted from recruiter to institutional supervisor — the plan had been executed, the committee had been built, and she was ensuring the output was coherent.

• Ryuzaki's birthday is August 1st and her blood type is B. She is 17 years old, one year older than the main Class 1-3 cast, and from Tokyo.
• Author Masaoki Shindo describes her as "kind of risque" and notes there is "definitely something risque about her." This is the most deliberately cryptic character note in the series' author commentary, and it is applied to a person who carries scissors to meetings and uses them on the Student Council President's hair.
• She carries scissors regularly enough that snipping Kosaka's hair when he falls asleep in meetings has become a recurring habit. This is presented as a mischievous quirk rather than a disciplinary concern. It is unclear how Kosaka has processed this as part of their working relationship.
• Her observation that Ruri's horns were "kinda chilly to the touch" is the first peer-level confirmation in the series that Ruri's passive biology produces a physically detectable temperature difference. Ryuzaki noticed and reported it immediately. Most people did not think to check.
• The committee recruitment was a coordinated plan with Takemoto Sensei — she was not simply being friendly, she was executing a social reintegration strategy. The genuine enthusiasm and the strategic calculation were operating simultaneously. Both were real. Her excitement about Ruri's horns was not performance; the plan was also not incidental.
• Her secret frustration is that her movie preferences never match Kosaka's, leading to frequent bickering. They bicker about this regularly while maintaining a close working relationship. The film disagreement has not resolved.
