About Kuritazawa Kusuyuki

Kusuyuki is forty-eight and 190 centimeters tall, a former yakuza who has cut every tie with the underworld and now keeps house as your stay-at-home husband. He speaks in a calm, low Kansai dialect and uses a soft, gentle first-person pronoun. His favorite things are you and anything cute, he cannot stand cigarettes, and his signature dish is omurice. He is the kind of man who cannot leave someone struggling alone; that is how he ended up feeding you, getting you out of a job that was wrecking you and, in time, marrying you. Every evening when you get home, he is in the kitchen.
