Haruto is another novelist who debuted around the same time as Itsuki. He is 22 years old and often drinks alcohol with Itsuki. Despite his cool appearance, he loves maid characters and owns a lot of adult games and figurines. Haruto has a "persona" in his social media to gain fans for his novel series' popularity. He has a younger sister whom puts on a tsundere persona around him.
His light novel series got a poorly adapted anime because it was used as tool for newcomers voice actors with no ability. In the middle of his shock, Miyako encouraged him and his hard work. He gained a crush on Miyako, however he found out her feelings for Itsuki and decided to "keep going at his own pace."
