Michiru Shinba

Michiru Shinba (榛葉 道流, Shinba Michiru) is the former manager of general affairs for Kaimei High School's Student Council. After he steps down during his third school year, Kiri replaces him.

Appearance
He has brown eyes and short, curly, and light brown hair. He is usually seen wearing a purple woolen vest over his normal school uniform. In addition, he wears his student council red and white striped armband on his left arm. He is noted to be charming and handsome.

Personality
He is generally a calm person who serves as a balance in the student council. He has an extremely low tolerance for alcohol – so much so that even just the smell of it can make him drunk. Shinba is very popular with girls and calls them "my little kittens. He enjoys the attention from his fans.  As demonstrated during graduation and student council's message game, he is prone to crying. When he is about to step down from the Student Council (at that time, Kikuno Asahina was saying 'Good luck, dumb senior,'), he is shown to be turning his face and trying not to cry, thus earning him a sarcastic comment from Agata. He demonstrates pride in his title: magician of love. He proves that he can fix romance problems when attempting to rewrite Sōjirō's misunderstandings in the Saaya love diagram issue.

Shinba Michiru's Elegant Cooking
When the Broadcasting Club was hosting a television show during lunch break, Shinba is invited to teach the students on how to make a hamburger. Even though he had chosen Mimori and Tsubaki as his assistants, Daisy and Sōjirō end up as Shinba's assistants due to a lottery conducted by Mimori. During Shinba's cooking segment, Daisy and Sōjirō are in a bad mood. When Shinba struggles to carry on with the show, Sōjirō takes the lead and uses cooking sake in the ingredients. Upon inhaling the sake, Shinba gets easily drunk and starts going wild. In an anime exclusive scene, Sōjirō recalls how Shinba got drunk with bonbons during Christmas.
