Makoto Chano

"This time for sure, a humanoid Neighbor has appeared!!"

- Makoto Chano about Lamvanein

Makoto Chano is a B-Class Gunner from Border and the Leader of Chano Unit.

Appearance
Chano is very androgynous, and also rather tall. They have chin-length hair, which could be longer, as it's usually covered by a beanie.

When Chano is in trigger mode, they wear a jacket which folds over itself on the left side, and has two groups of four buttons, and stripes on the ends of the sleeves, like the rest of Chano unit.

Personality
In the information page it is stated that Chano is brave and cares about their teammates; when they met an unknown neighbor, they quickly responded by reporting it and attacking them. Chano also seems to come to conclusions very quickly, seeing how they attacked Yūma after assuming he was a humanoid Neighbor.

Gender
In Chano Unit's mini profile in volume 7, Ashihara reveals that in his character notes Chano is supposed to be a crossdressing girl. However, since he decided to ignore it since it seems troublesome, it is unknown if Chano is still supposed to be one. For the purpose of this article, Chano will be referred to with a singular they, until more information is available.

History
Chano joined Border about 1 year before Border Member Official Enlistment Day.

Large-Scale Invasion Arc
Chano and Fujisawa attack Yūma after believing he was an enemy. They stopped, though, after Arashiyama informed them Yūma was indeed an ally. Later, the two attack Lamvanein, Chano exclaiming that they got it right this time.
