Ryou Kutani

Ryou Kutani first appears as an aloof and sharp-tongued enigma at Kōryō Academy, keeping others at arm's length with his cold demeanor. Beneath that guarded exterior lies a hidden truth — he is the rightful heir to the Inukai guardian bloodline, a secret his family deliberately concealed, leaving him to wander alone for years. Initially resentful of the destiny thrust upon him, everything changed when he encountered the heroine Tamaki. Moved by her presence, Ryou chose to break free from the chains of fate and willingly became her most devoted and exclusive protector.
