So can you give us ND people what the typical behaviors of NT people like Ichimaru are

yes, i understand. however, putting haruto under the assumption of being one basing only from differences of behavior with his friends is a bit unsupported (yet). i mean, variations in behavior are present within a culture, yes. but there are other considerations to take note such as personalities, uprbinging, and such.
I think after reading this story that Haruto is an aspie... as many others characters in other mangas.
Think about the way Haruto is behaviouring and characteristics of the syndrome:
Despite a desire for friends, difficulty in initiating or maintaining close relationships.
Problems reading non-verbal or social cues or understanding/using social rules
Very socially naïve and as a result are often taken advantage of, rejected, or bullied.
Social contact may be directed by them (e.g. play is “on their terms” or not at all).
Poor (or intense) eye contact, atypical use of gestures and flat or inappropriate facial expressions.
One-sided conversations, and little ability for “small talk”.
May appear overly shy or overly extroverted, but inappropriately so.
Unaware of others’ thoughts, feelings or perceptions resulting in inadvertently appearing rude or inconsiderate.
Literal interpretation of communication from others.
Avoidant of social contact or events, and may experience heightened anxiety in social situations.
Language is learned and used in “chunks” (e.g., phrases, dialogue from TV shows, etc.).
Communication is used for delivering information or requesting, not as a way of interacting socially.
May respond poorly to changes, sensory stimuli, transitions, lack of structure, and restrictions.
Repetitive movements (e.g., jumping, rocking, pacing) and speech (i.e., talking about favourite topics, interest)
Rigid, inflexible and rule-bound behaviour.
Inappropriate behaviour given the social situation (e.g., speaking too loud in place of worship)
Exaggerated emotional response to situations (e.g., tantrums when asked to something that they don’t want to do)
Superior ability to focus on favourite activity or area of interest (e.g., spends hours mastering video game to the exclusion of other pastimes)
Average to superior intelligence
Detail oriented approach to tasks which may result in missing the “bigger picture”
May have associated learning disabilities (e.g., non-verbal learning disability)
Often have high verbal scores in a cognitive assessment, and low performance scores
Difficulty seeing “parts-to-whole” and “whole-to-parts” relationships
Prefer technical/factual information over abstract
