Tooi Kuji

Tooi Kuji is a brooding transfer student who carries the weight of a fractured past on his shoulders. After losing both parents, he has come to rely solely on his older brother Chikai, a figure operating in the shadows of organized crime. To preserve their fragile bond, Tooi has crossed legal boundaries and deliberately kept the world at arm's length, projecting a cold and pragmatic exterior that masks a fierce inner loyalty. When the enigmatic Kappa-creature Keppi forcibly transforms him, Tooi finds himself thrown together with Kazuki and Enta on an unlikely quest for the Dish of Hope—driven by one singular wish: to be reunited with his brother.
