"Hajime's friend 2, also known as Shin, is a supporting character in the manga series ""Kimi to Hajimete"". He first appears in Chapter 2 as one of the male students in Hajime's class, and is often seen hanging out with Hajime and his group of friends.

Shin is a tall and lanky boy with glasses, and usually wears his hair in a messy style. He is known for being a bit of a jock and is often seen wearing sports gear or carrying a basketball. Despite his athletic prowess, Shin is also depicted as being academically gifted and is often the voice of reason when it comes to the group's antics.

Although Shin is friends with all the members of the group, he seems to have a closer bond with Hajime and often shows concern for his well-being. In Chapter 4, Shin is the first to notice that Hajime seems preoccupied and tries to get him to open up about what's bothering him.

Shin's character is further developed in Chapter 6, where it is revealed that he has a crush on one of the female students in their class. When he is unable to muster up the courage to confess his feelings, Hajime and the others decide to help him by setting up a ""secret admirer"" scheme. Their plan ultimately backfires, but Shin is grateful for their efforts and is able to move on from his crush.

Throughout the series, Shin remains a loyal friend to Hajime and his group, and often plays a pivotal role in helping them navigate their various predicaments. Although he is not as boisterous or outgoing as some of the other characters, Shin is a dependable and trustworthy presence in the manga."
