Konoha Inoue

"Nothing happening.

Not having a crush on anybody

I could live in peace, without pain, or sadness, or disappointment.

I prayed that every day would be that way, for the rest of my life." - Konoha Inoue

Konoha Inoue ( 井上 心葉   Inoue Konoha)  is the narrator of the main Book Girl Novels. He is a second year student at Seijoh Academy. After seeing Tohko Amano eating a book under a white magnolia tree when he was a first year, he was forcefully recruited into the Literature club and forced to write improvisational stories for her to eat.

Appearance and Personality
Konoha has short brown hair, light brown eyes and his face is often described as feminine.

Konoha is often viewed as very gentle and kind who is also shown to be very friendly and patient with those he's not close with. However, it appears that this is a deliberate act on his part, as he often only shows his "true face" to Tohko Amano. This true personality is rather deadpan and blunt, usually disinterested and a little bitter, but still meaning well. All he appears to want are peaceful days with nothing happening, but he is often roped into some sort of shenanigan or mystery of sorts.

Background
Konoha led a fairly normal life. He had friends, a family, and a girl he loved. In middle school, things changed for him after he entered a writing contest and won first prize. He was the youngest to ever win the grand prize, and the story was soon published and became a best seller. He had published the book under the name Inoue Miu, and marketed as a masked young girl. The story had received an extreme amount of attention and even got a movie and manga adaptation. Konoha became very stressed because of this, often collapsing under pressure and refusing to leave his room for days on end. He swore after that he would never write again, and claimed in one of the later chapters that he didn't have the heart to. That same year, the girl he loved (Miu Asakura) committed suicide before his eyes by means of jumping off a roof.

After that year passed, he refused to write a sequel and put down the pen all together. He applied for a high school and continued living normally, eventually meeting Tohko Amano and being forced to join the literature club.
