Ryou Houjou

Houjou Ryou is a college student and resident of the share house along with Sonoda Miko, Matsunaga Jun, Hattori Akane, Onuki Asako and Suzuki Kentarou, which is owned by Sonoda Miko's uncle. He is curt to Miko. He is a cat person and doesn't like high school girls. He also likes sweets and is very quiet. He does not have a girlfriend.

Appearance
He is young and handsome, with short dark hair with bangs, and large light-coloured eyes. He is of average height and shorter than his fellow male housemates. He dresses casually, typically in loose sweatshirts or t-shirts and slim pants. His part-time work uniform includes a ball cap, long-sleeved button-up (on which he pushes the sleeves up), and an apron.

Personality
He appears quite introverted and less sociable than his housemates. He’s quiet and can come off as cold, but has shown a kind side to Miko on a few different occasions. He’s caring, albeit in his own way, and listens well. He is reserved and seems to be shy (or flustered/embarrassed) in certain social situations (for example, Miko’s school’s Cultural Festival).

Trivia
According to the end of Vol. 3, the author describes him as "Ryo finally did something. People have been begging for him to show up more ever since he was back when he might as well have been extra. He has bangs so he's easy to draw."
