Haru tends to keep people at a distance, even those like Legoshi and Louis who wish to become closer with her. As a white dwarf rabbit, she often finds herself being treated as a fragile individual by society and wants to be validated as a person she feels that having sex is the only way she can feel in control of herself.

Haru ( ハル) Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi (Japanese) Lara Jill Miller (English) Haru, a third-year, is the lone member of Cherryton's gardening club and general outcast of the school due to her promiscuity. The name "Legoshi" refers to actor Bela Lugosi while she used Mathieu Amalric as a model for Legoshi's face. Itagaki stated that she chose to make a wolf character as their similarity to dogs make them familiar to readers and that wolves' "sneaking around" makes them "cute". Itagaki had first conceptualized a wolf character while she attended junior high school the design ideas remained similar, but over time she had different ideas for the character's story. Jack knows about Legoshi's heritage, but few others do, and at school Legoshi is registered only as a gray wolf. Legoshi inherited Gosha's Komodo dragon eyes with small pupils and an immunity to Komodo dragon venom, though Legoshi himself is not venomous. Legoshi also has a complicated past, having mostly been raised by his Komodo dragon maternal grandfather Gosha, as Legoshi's hybrid wolf–Komodo dragon mother Leano had mostly withdrawn from life and committed suicide when Legoshi was 12. Generally conflicted with his status as a carnivore, Legoshi wishes to suppress his predatory desires which become even more complicated as he develops confused feelings towards Haru. He takes it upon himself to solve the murder of Tem. He attempts to hide his more terrifying traits in order to better acquaint his herbivorous classmates. A second-year student, Legoshi works as a member of the drama club's stage crew, and enjoys watching tragic stories performed despite never having had to directly participate in them.

At the same time, Legoshi has a fateful encounter with Haru, a small dwarf rabbit who has been in love with Louis, and begins developing complex feelings for her.
