Blend S is a four-panel comic currently being serialized in Manga Time Kirara Carat. It tells the story of a group of boys and girls who lead a hectic life at the cafe Stile, which resembles a maid cafe, where each boy and girl serves customers while playing the role of a character that they are in charge of. In this article, we will introduce the charm of Kanzaki Hideri, who plays an idol character.

Age: 16. Height: about 150cm, very petite. Appearance: very cute, looks like an idol, and in fact, she aspires to be an idol. However, contrary to her appearance, Kanzaki Hideri is a man, commonly known as a boy. Her family is a farming family and her parents have told her to take over the business, but she doesn't want to. On the surface, she acts and speaks in a very cunning way, but underneath she is foul-mouthed and not the least bit cute.

Kanzaki Hideri's family is a farming family and her parents have told her to take over the family business. However, Hideri, who aspires to be an idol, hates farm work and refuses. She has promised to take over the family farm if she cannot become an idol, so she is desperately working as an idol. She hates wearing the smock that farmers wear, and she has such a negative reaction that she appears in her dreams.

Hideri's dream is to become an idol, and since she doesn't have to take over the farm, she is very enthusiastic about her idol activities. She also applied for a part-time job at Stile in order to spread her cuteness to the world and increase her fan base. In front of customers, she acts as an idol and serves them, and sometimes she teams up with Ichigo to serve them as twin idols.

Hideri likes cute things in general, and modifies Stile's uniform to her liking. She is dexterous and adds frills to the uniform and other small details. There was also a scene where Ichigoka was envious of this. Although he is a man on the inside, he has also trained his feminine side, and it is not just for show that he is aiming to be an idol. Hideri, who secretly puts in effort like this, is also attractive.

Hideri, who aspires to be an idol, is careful about his actions and words in everyday life and behaves like an idol. She is very cunning, acts clumsy, and cries easily, but people who don't know her will like her. But deep down inside she is very foul-mouthed, has a low voice, and tends to look down on people. The Stile staff, who know her true nature, are astonished by her.

Hideri is actually a boy, but he is a boy who plays a woman. And in order to become an idol, he has to show the world how cute he is, so he usually behaves and speaks cunningly. Even when he went on a ski trip with the Stile staff, he purposely fell down and acted clumsy. The Stile staff, who know about this, are either annoyed and ignore her, or make comments when they get annoyed.

Hideri, who is always striving to be cute, is also careful about her appearance. She often wears very cute, girly clothes on a daily basis. When buying clothes, she tends to choose clothes that are cute and have an impact. She knows that gothic lolita suits her, but she can't buy it because it's expensive. She sometimes makes her own clothes, but once she starts making them, she gets obsessed with them, so the cost of materials ends up being high, and by the time she finishes, the season is often over. Hideri's efforts in her pursuit of cuteness without compromising are amazing.

Hideri usually plays a cute girl, but inside he is a man, and he shows his manly spirit when it matters. There is a scene where Hideri sees Miu stumble and almost bump into someone because the luggage she is carrying while shopping with her, so he carries her luggage for her. He was surprised at how heavy it was, but he said it was lighter than the cardboard boxes full of cabbages before shipping, and helped him carry it. Hideri is charming because he is weak but shows his manliness when the time comes.

When a cockroach appeared in the Stile dressing room, the female staff was very scared. Miu was especially frightened, and even when the men came, none of them could do anything. However, Hideri caught the approaching cockroach with his hand and threw it outside. The staff who saw this were shocked, but Hideri, the son of a farmer, showed his strength against insects by remaining unfazed by the cockroach. After that, he never forgot to pretend that he was scared.

Hideri was shopping with Miu for cute clothes, but she couldn't come to terms with the price and what she wanted, so she didn't end up buying anything. Miu advised Hideri to ask if she could get some of Madou's hand-me-downs. However, the clothes Madou brought were not hand-me-downs at all, but cosplay costumes. Hideri looks good in it and seems to like it even though she is embarrassed. However, Hideri says that she can't walk outside in this and should be aware of the time, place and occasion.
