Manabu Takasaki (高崎 学, Takasaki Manabu) is a 26 year-old male teacher who has romantic feelings for Izumi Sakurai. However, he is unable to tell Izumi as he is too shy to admit that he has feelings for Izumi. He also becomes extremely anxious and agitated whenever he is in a position to express these feelings, or believes that he is being seen while showing them. Thus, he was eventually blackmailed into sponsoring and coaching Igo Soccer after Makoto, Izumi's brother, bribes him with pictures of his sister. He teaches Japanese Literature to students.
