Saito Houjou

Saito Houjou is a third-year high school student and the heir to the Houjou Group. In order to inherit his grandfather's business, he is forced into a secret marriage and cohabitation with Akane Sakuramori, his longtime rival at school. While he is known on campus for his outstanding grades and popularity, behind closed doors he lives an extremely laid-back lifestyle—surviving on instant noodles and actively avoiding household chores as a committed minimalist. Through the process of adjusting to life alongside Akane, he gradually reveals a more considerate side of himself, and the two develop a deeper mutual understanding.
