Hitoshi Sora is a cultural anthropologist and an extraterrestrial. His scholarly pursuits led him to Earth, where he now operates undercover as a biology instructor at Hazumu's high school. His lack of familiarity with human customs offers the narrative an external viewpoint on love, which is central to Sora's investigations. Furthermore, his outlook on various topics such as amicable rivalry or warfare introduces a somewhat existentialist angle. According to the manga, the alien’s research holds significant implications for the continuation of his own race. He worries that if his currently emotionally detached people fail to rekindle emotions like love, they may face eventual extinction.
