Ganji Nishimoto is a student in Class 2-C. His gentle personality and his ability to make the hopes and dreams of the boys of 2-C come true earned him the nickname "Nishimoto the Buddha." While he appears placid on the surface, he is very shrewd and calculating underneath. While his warm mentor-like demeanor and stash of "treasures" make him popular with many of the males in 2-C, his talents are less appreciated by the girls, especially Mai Otsuka, who has known him for a long time. While he gets along great with most of the boys in his class, he has misgivings about students who actually have girlfriends.
