Description
Keisuke Saji is the sixteen-year-old male protagonist of the series. He is a high school student with a distinctive appearance, characterized by his spiky hair. His personality is defined by an intense and often comedic obsession with women, and his life revolves around his pursuit of romantic and physical relationships. He is a classic lovable sex maniac, whose thoughts are frequently and blatantly lascivious, yet his single-minded dedication to his chosen partner makes him difficult to truly dislike.
The narrative begins when Saji, in his eagerness for a sexual encounter, responds to a mysterious message from someone calling herself Alice, which he receives on his father's cell phone. This leads him to a meeting where he discovers the girl behind the scheme is his schoolmate, Akira Koizumi. After he sees through her disguise, she agrees to a date, and this event sparks his unwavering quest to win her over. His primary motivation is to conquer Akira Koizumi, making her his girlfriend and having a physical relationship with her. However, as the story progresses, his motivations evolve beyond pure lust, and he develops genuine, albeit still perversely expressed, feelings for her.
Saji's central role in the story is that of the relentless suitor. Despite Akira's outward hostility, frequent physical violence, and rejection, he remains completely undeterred, pursuing her head-on without ever being fazed. The core of the narrative revolves around his attempts to break through her cold exterior, creating a dynamic relationship where Akira oscillates between savagely beating him and showing moments of surprising affection.
Key relationships define his daily life. His primary relationship is with Akira Koizumi, a classic tsundere who hates men but forms a complex bond with Saji. She often takes out her frustrations on him, yet also shows deep care and jealousy, which she vehemently denies. Saji's persistence is partly fueled by the fear of losing her to other admirers. He is also involved in a love triangle with his childhood friend, Yuki Umemiya. Yuki has a large bust and serves as a rival to Akira, constantly trying to win Saji's heart by flirting with him and using her body, though she is often less successful than she hopes.
Throughout the series, Saji shows a degree of character development. While he begins as a stereotypical sex-crazed teenager, he gradually becomes more understanding of Akira's insecurities and learns to appreciate her honest, if bizarre, form of love. A significant part of his backstory, revealed in the manga, explains this transformation. He was once a very shy child, but after losing his chance to confess to a girl who transferred away while he was ill, he emerged from the resulting depression as someone who never holds back his feelings. As for his notable abilities, beyond his incredible resilience to physical punishment, Saji is a member of the basketball team and is depicted as being quite skilled at the sport.
