Yuki Souma

At Kaibara High School, Yuki Sohma is celebrated as the ultimate "prince" — a student whose striking appearance and all-around talents seem almost too good to be real. Yet behind this flawless image lies a profound burden: the Sohma family's zodiac curse, which transforms him into a rat whenever a girl embraces him. Compounding this is the lasting trauma inflicted during his childhood by the clan's head, Akito, whose emotional abuse left Yuki deeply withdrawn and riddled with self-doubt. It is only through his unexpected bond with the warm-hearted Tohru Honda — and the simple, healing rhythms of their shared daily life — that Yuki begins to dismantle the walls around his heart, confront the shadows of his past, and summon the courage to break free from the chains of his family's expectations.
