Suga Atsunori

Atsunori has been working as a chef for the restaurant for five years. He's very laidback, friendly and cheerful. Because of his dedication to his job and the restaurant, he's well-liked by Akane's parents and is even treated like family a lot of the time. He's also the go-to guy when Makoto is away- his juniors trust in and find him to be reliable. In spite of his extroversion, Akane catches him losing his cheer every now and then, and has no idea what's bothering him. Atsunori doesn't think highly of Yuusuke, and seems to know him from before the restaurant workers' first meeting with him.
