this she consummates her relationship with Shoei and then runs away to live with Hinata and his pimp. It is later revealed that Hinata is actually Shoie's half-brother and not her. Through other trials Mio and Shoei rekindle their relationship. Mio eventually moves with her family into the mountains. Shoei transfers to her new school. Shoei (Prince) Jinnai Shoei is Mio's closest childhood friend and the scion of a very wealthy family, although Mio initially doesn't recall their past together. His father is the Omori family's landlord. He is popular, athletic, intelligent and handsome, adored by many girls in school, popular among both ladies and gentlemen. He is deeply in love with Mio. He blushes every time Mio takes off his glasses because when they were children she would take off his glasses then kiss him. He manipulates events so that Mio is first forced to work in his home as a maid, then to live there. Spoiled and extremely wealthy, he lacks in compassion, consideration and empathy towards others.

He is in fact the illegitimate son of Mr. Jinnai and is the Prince's half-brother. It is not clear how he found out or how long he has known about his origins, but it is known that he has been in love with his "sister" for some time. On many occasions, Hinata has demonstrated a cruel streak and manipulative personality: he wants Mio and is willing to use tricks and lies to separate her from the Prince. Unknown to Mio, he has been working as a male escort (prostitute). After running away from home, Hinata moved in with his pimp, before moving into the Jinnai house. Mr. Tomoe Hina's pimp. Hina moves in with him after running away. Later, Mio moves in with him too after he offers her a job and tells her that Hina is staying with him. Mio does not know Mr. Tomoe is Hina's pimp. He also seems to know a lot about Hina and Mio's family issues with the Jinnais, showing Hinata where to find his birth mother. He is later hired by Hayato to follow and lead Mio and Shoei to different locations. He is later betrayed by Hayato and arrested for prostitution. Hayato Prince's
