kudou jun

Birthday: June 14 (Zan SZS. 9 Episode)

Jun is portrayed in episode 4 of the second season as a "Genius Storyteller. There isn't a story he can't narrate. A handsome guy." His name originates from the bookstore "Junkudo-Shoten" and its founder, Jun Kudō. His narratives often bring other characters to tears, even though some of his tales are intended to mock. He has previously borrowed every book that Nozomu wishes to read from the library. Jun resides with his grandfather, a nod to Seiji Amasawa from Whisper of the Heart.
