Appearance

Nishida Yuki is a young heiress from the powerful Nishida Zaibatsu family, often described as a "young girl" despite her strategic thinking and maturity in managing the family business and personal interests 61 105. She has long, straight black hair reaching her waist, snow-white skin, and a mature, dark aura that gives her the bearing of an ancient princess or noble young lady 3. Her overall demeanor can be manipulative and black-bellied, often hiding her true intentions behind smiles 37. She is also known for her indifference and boredom towards the power and wealth surrounding her, treating many with disdain 61.

Specific details about Nishida Yuki's appearance include:

• Hair: Long, straight, waist-length black hair 3.
• Age: Described as a "young girl" 61 105. Her grandmother and mother both had children at a young age, following a family tradition of securing the next generation quickly 37.
• Build: She has a well-developed, curvaceous figure and is 167 cm tall, weighing 97 lbs 3.
• Bearing: She is seen as exceptionally refined and tasteful, with mannerisms befitting a professionally raised young lady 369.
• Condition during the succession conflict: Following roughly half a month of evading her grandmother, she appeared somewhat thinner but remained meticulously dressed and groomed 316.

Personality

Nishida Yuki possesses a complex and often contradictory personality, characterized by her manipulative nature, strategic thinking, and a deep-seated desire for control and excitement. Despite her outward appearance of elegance and youth, she is described as having a "terrible personality" and being "black-bellied," often hiding her true intentions behind a pleasant smile 23 37 236. She is an S-rank in emotional quotient, intelligence, and wealth, but her personality is consistently highlighted as her most significant flaw 3 316. Raised under the strict and even cruel tutelage of her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, Yuki has developed into an outstanding leader with powerful strategic skills, viewing men, including Akimoto Yoichi, as pets, toys, or tools for the Nishida Family's genetic continuation 13. This upbringing has deprived her of normal emotional development, leading her to find pleasure primarily in manipulating others or in being disciplined herself 320. She is a "Queen" archetype, responsible for driving the main plot, but has been "thoroughly dyed" by Akimoto Yoichi, transforming from a "White Queen" into a "Black Queen" 3 109.

Specific aspects of her personality include:

• Manipulative and Scheming Nature: Nishida Yuki consistently demonstrates a highly manipulative and scheming personality. She orchestrates situations to her advantage, such as asking Akimoto Yoichi to accompany her while playing the piano, not because she needs assistance, but to derive pleasure from his discomfort and obedience 23. She enjoys watching him "make a fool of himself" 23. Her actions are often calculated, like initiating genetic testing on Akimoto Yoichi and manipulating her grandmother's interest in him to further her own agenda 108. She uses her influence and intelligence to control situations and people, reflecting her power and status 108. This extends to her family, as she plans to manipulate her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, by stealing the Nishida Zaibatsu's liquid assets to gain leverage and eventually take control of the zaibatsu 215. She is willing to use anyone, including her own mother, to achieve her goals, such as proposing Akimoto Yoichi take her mother's virginity to break an obsession 83. Akimoto Yoichi is well aware of her "petty schemes" and "black-hearted, wicked" nature 23. She is described as having a "scheming and controlling personality" that would never accept being manipulated herself 212.

• Sadism and Pleasure from Others' Discomfort: A prominent trait is her sadistic enjoyment of manipulating and humiliating others. She finds happiness and satisfaction in Akimoto Yoichi's obedience and discomfort 23. This is explicitly stated when she watches surveillance footage of Akimoto Yoichi, expressing her enjoyment and intention to humiliate him, even planning to control his education rights and force him to cross-dress 62. When Akimoto Yoichi calls out her behavior, she laughs, not denying his assessment of her "vulgar" nature, and admits she doesn't dislike his frankness because he's the only one who treats her that way 23. Her upbringing under Nishida Shizuko's high-pressure methods has led her to find pleasure only in manipulating others or being disciplined 320.

• View of Others (Especially Men): Nishida Yuki views others, particularly men, with a sense of superiority and as tools or pets. She treats banquet attendees with indifference and disdain, seeing them as subservient 61. Her interest in Akimoto Yoichi is driven by a desire for excitement and novelty, highlighting her boredom with her privileged life 108. She sees men as "pets, as toys, and as tools to better pass on the genes of the Nishida Family" 13. When Akimoto Yoichi is "playing along" with her student council game, she believes she can easily manipulate him 71. However, she is also drawn to Akimoto Yoichi's straightforwardness and the fact that he treats her frankly, unlike others 23. She finds him "interesting" when he ignores her 4. She is also described as having "strong possessiveness toward anything she takes a fancy to," enjoying being proactive and in control 4.

• Ambition and Drive for Control: Nishida Yuki possesses immense ambition, particularly regarding the Nishida Zaibatsu. She is determined to take control of the family business from her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, and is willing to employ drastic measures, such as stealing assets, to achieve this 215. Her goal is to usurp the throne and force her grandmother to relinquish her position as head of the family 212. She is not interested in destroying the zaibatsu, but rather in controlling it to maintain the power that enables her willful behavior 212. She sees the School Festival as a "stalling tactic" and a "disguise" to lull her grandmother into a false sense of security while she plans her takeover 212. Her ambition is matched by her capability 212. Following the conflict, Shizuko begins returning the zaibatsu's authority to Yuki, confirming that Yuki's usurpation succeeds 369.

• Defiance and Rebelliousness: She is willing to defy her grandmother's wishes, particularly concerning Akimoto Yoichi, demonstrating her determination and independence 108. Her relationship with her grandmother is one of conflict and manipulation, with Yuki actively trying to outmaneuver her 215. She expresses "upside-down rebellious words" about her grandmother's management of the zaibatsu 215. She also has a strained and toxic relationship with her mother, Nishida Chizuru, showing clear disgust towards her 61 62. Yuki explicitly rejects the Nishida Family's rules, which she considers a system that rewards incompetence 360.

• Vulnerability and Affection (towards Akimoto Yoichi): Despite her dominant and manipulative traits, Nishida Yuki shows a more vulnerable side when expressing her genuine feelings for Akimoto Yoichi. She explicitly states her desire to marry him and have his children 109. She is open about her plans and desires with him 215. She expresses affection for him, even amidst their power struggles and her manipulative schemes 216. Akimoto Yoichi notes that any punishment for Nishida Yuki often seems like a reward, indicating a masochistic tendency when interacting with him, where her inner sadist turns into a masochist 4 215. She also values his unique frankness with her 23. Later, she willingly adopts the role of Akimoto's pet in their private games, while continuing to tease and challenge him 385 386 388.

Abilities and Skills

Nishida Yuki possesses a formidable array of abilities and skills, primarily centered around her sharp intellect, manipulative prowess, and significant influence stemming from her family's wealth and status. She is highly strategic, capable of planning intricate schemes and adapting to unforeseen circumstances, often leveraging situations to her advantage or to provoke specific reactions from others, particularly Akimoto Yoichi 23 108 212. Her confidence and assertiveness are notable, as she readily takes charge and expresses her beliefs, even when it creates tension 12. She is adept at controlling situations and people, a trait she displays from her early interactions with Akimoto Yoichi, where she attempts to engage him in conversation and later makes him her student council vice president 3 10. Her family's influence, the Nishida Zaibatsu, grants her considerable power within Izuki Academy, allowing her to manipulate administrative decisions, such as Akimoto Yoichi's enrollment and tuition 10. Nishida Yuki also demonstrates a capacity for defiance, willing to go against her grandmother's wishes to pursue her interests, especially concerning Akimoto Yoichi 108. Despite her privileged background, she often finds elite social events boring, indicating a desire for more stimulating challenges, which she finds in her interactions with Akimoto Yoichi 61 108. She is also shown to possess a talent for playing the piano, which she uses as a means to manipulate Akimoto Yoichi 15 23.

• Intellect and Manipulation: Nishida Yuki is highly intelligent and manipulative, consistently devising plans to achieve her goals, whether it's gaining votes, controlling Akimoto Yoichi, or even challenging her family's traditions 23 76 107 108 212. She is capable of strategic thinking, such as initiating genetic testing on Akimoto Yoichi to present to her grandmother as a solution for the Nishida family's infertility issues 107 108. She enjoys making others uncomfortable and observing their reactions, particularly Akimoto Yoichi's 23.
• Influence and Authority: As a member of the powerful Nishida Zaibatsu family, she wields significant influence over Izuki Academy, even affecting its administration and student affairs 10. She is the Student Council President and uses this position to further her agendas 12 15. After defeating Shizuko in their succession conflict, she resumes handling the zaibatsu's affairs and establishes the Student Council office as her workplace 369.
• Financial and Corporate Strategy: Yuki can coordinate large-scale financial pressure, including siphoning liquid assets and ordering Kitamura Mao to short Nishida Zaibatsu stock, to undermine Shizuko's control and reshape the group's internal hierarchy 211 215 308.
• Piano Skills: She is capable of playing the piano, which she uses as a tool to keep Akimoto Yoichi by her side, claiming it helps her gain votes 15 23. Her piano playing is exceptional enough to captivate Shiraishi Wakane, who notices similarities to Akimoto Yoichi's performance 369.
• Heroine Trait: Focus: Nishida Yuki possesses a unique "Heroine Trait" called "Focus." When Akimoto Yoichi is under the influence of this trait, his ability to concentrate and learn rapidly increases. This was demonstrated when he quickly learned to play the piano due to her buff 23 169. Unlike some other heroines whose buffs require specific emotional triggers, Nishida Yuki's "Focus" buff appears to be a consistent enhancement to Akimoto Yoichi's mental acuity when he is interacting with her 169.
• Surveillance and Information Control: She maintains surveillance on Akimoto Yoichi and later investigates Kudo Miyu's history, arranges Mao to monitor Miyu at school, and uses her information network to manage risks around Akimoto 61 62 385 388.

Relationships

Akimoto Yoichi

Nishida Yuki's relationship with Akimoto Yoichi is characterized by manipulation, power dynamics, and a growing, complex interest on her part 23 108. From their initial interactions, Yuki targeted Akimoto, first due to his dismissive attitude, which piqued her interest, and then by making him accompany her while she played the piano, claiming it helped her gain votes 23 211. Akimoto quickly realized her true intention was to derive pleasure from his discomfort and obedience, as she enjoyed watching him make a fool of himself 23. Despite her manipulative nature, Akimoto plays along, demonstrating a mutual understanding and a dynamic of provocation between them 23.

Yuki's interest in Akimoto deepens because he consistently defies her expectations and plans 108. She finds him "too interesting" and a "giant box of surprises" because her schemes involving him never go according to her script 108. This unpredictability excites her, making her "heart race" and providing a challenge in her otherwise dull and privileged life 108. She even manipulated her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, to take an interest in Akimoto, further intertwining him with the Nishida family 108.

Their interactions often involve Yuki attempting to control or humiliate Akimoto, such as her plan to control his education rights and force him to cross-dress at an all-girls academy 62. However, Akimoto resists her control, leading to a power struggle 92. Yuki also expresses a desire to "share" Akimoto with other women in her family, including her mother and grandmother, not just out of perversion but because she believes his "impeccable" character makes him worthy of the Nishida women 113. She openly states her ambition to bear Akimoto's child and involve other Nishida women in this plan, revealing a deep-seated obsession 215. Akimoto, while understanding her intentions, is largely indifferent to her grand schemes, prioritizing his stable family life and seeking to protect it from her disruptions 215. He recognizes that to resolve the Nishida Zaibatsu's targeting of him, he must "subjugate" Nishida Shizuko, a goal that aligns with Yuki's ambition to usurp her grandmother 216.

After Yuki's takeover, their relationship becomes more openly cooperative and affectionate. Yuki accepts that Akimoto will associate with other women, regarding his interactions with different personalities as entertaining, but considers herself, Chizuru, Shizuko, and Mao an unbeatable Nishida faction 385 414. She also treats surveillance as a means of protecting him, provided it does not intrude upon his home life 385. Their continued games of dominance and submission reveal Yuki's willingness to act as his pet despite her usual queenly behavior 385 386 388.

Kitamura Mao

Kitamura Mao serves as Nishida Yuki's loyal maid and confidante, sharing a close, almost sisterly relationship with her 62 108. Mao has been Yuki's companion since childhood and is fully aware of Yuki's manipulative and sadistic tendencies, accepting them without judgment 62. She supports Yuki's schemes, including her growing obsession with Akimoto Yoichi, and helps facilitate Yuki's voyeuristic tendencies by retrieving surveillance footage of him 61. Mao also assists Yuki in monitoring Akimoto's activities and provides updates 105. She expresses concern for Yuki's well-being and happiness, often questioning her plans out of care 108. Mao also admires Akimoto, believing his character makes him worthy of the Nishida family women 113.

During Yuki's succession conflict, Mao faithfully executes orders to short Nishida Zaibatsu stock and helps Yuki evade and confront Shizuko 308 328 360. After Yuki regains control, Mao continues acting as both aide and enforcer, monitoring Kudo Miyu and subtly asserting Yuki's closeness to Akimoto before Shiraishi Wakane 369 385 388.

Nishida Chizuru

Nishida Yuki's relationship with her mother, Nishida Chizuru, is strained and toxic, marked by manipulation and mutual disdain 62 92. Yuki shows clear disgust at the mention of her mother and actively tries to avoid her 61 62. Chizuru, in turn, is portrayed as manipulative and enjoys watching Yuki suffer 62. There is ongoing tension between them, and Chizuru is often absent from family gatherings, indicating a rebellious nature against her own mother, Nishida Shizuko 92.

A significant point of contention between Yuki and Chizuru is their shared interest in Akimoto Yoichi 105. Yuki views her mother's involvement with Akimoto as a complication to her own plans, noting that Chizuru "brought my mother into the mix to cause trouble" 108. Chizuru's interest in Akimoto is also fueled by her observation of his intimate interactions with other women, which she initially believed were exclusive to her 344. This shared interest creates competition and tension between mother and daughter 105. Despite their strained relationship, Chizuru occasionally reflects on her connection with Yuki, sometimes feeling envious of the close mother-daughter bonds she observes in others 339.

Despite Chizuru's refusal to directly help Yuki while she was hiding from Shizuko, she remains concerned for Yuki's safety 328. Yuki later views guiding Chizuru toward bearing Akimoto's child as part of her broader plan to remake the Nishida Family 414.

Nishida Shizuko

Nishida Yuki's relationship with her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, is characterized by power struggles, manipulation, and defiance 92 105 108. Shizuko, as the matriarch of the Nishida family, intentionally toughens Yuki's upbringing and attempts to control her actions 105. Yuki, however, is rebellious and determined to defy her grandmother's wishes, particularly regarding Akimoto Yoichi 108.

Yuki actively manipulates situations to pique Shizuko's interest in Akimoto, aiming to further entangle him with the family 108. She even uses Akimoto as a tool in her ambition to usurp control of the Nishida Zaibatsu from her grandmother, going so far as to steal the zaibatsu's liquid assets to gain leverage 215. Shizuko is displeased with Yuki's handling of various situations but has not disowned her, indicating a complex dynamic where Shizuko still seeks to mold Yuki 92 105. Ultimately, Yuki's goal is to overthrow Shizuko, who she feels "loomed over her, constrained her, and even controlled her entire life" 216.

Yuki escalates this conflict by using an electrotherapy device to incapacitate Shizuko and openly declaring her plan to make Akimoto Yoichi the man of the Nishida Family 360. Although Shizuko retains a final stubbornness, she gradually returns the zaibatsu's authority to Yuki following the latter's victory 369. Shizuko later becomes Izuki High School's academy director in an effort to discipline Yuki and Akimoto, though Yuki remains defiant 386 414.

Fukada Yuji

Fukada Yuji is Yuki's father and a live-in son-in-law within the Nishida Family 316 320 321. He initially approaches Akimoto Yoichi under Shizuko's influence and offers money for him to end his relationship with Yuki, believing he is protecting his daughter 320. However, Yuji gradually realizes that he does not understand Yuki's true nature and that Yuki, rather than Akimoto, is the one binding the relationship together 320 321. Yuki's response to him remains emotionally restrained, reflecting their distant familial bond 321.

Fukayama Midori

Nishida Yuki initially takes an interest in Fukayama Midori due to his resemblance to her pet, Robert 4. She approaches Akimoto Yoichi to inquire about Midori's relationship with Suzuran Ayano 4. During an opening ceremony, Yuki sits next to Midori, engaging him in conversation and easily manipulating him, causing him to become infatuated with her and forget about Suzuran 4. However, this initial interest appears to be fleeting. After this initial conversation, Yuki does not speak to Midori again, and he observes a "massive gap" opening between Akimoto Yoichi and himself, suggesting Yuki's attention shifted away from him 91.

Fukayama Natsuki

Nishida Yuki and Fukayama Natsuki form a tentative alliance, both feeling victimized by Akimoto Yoichi 48. Yuki suggests she also has compromising photos, similar to Natsuki's, implying a shared experience of Akimoto's manipulation 48. Yuki attempts to befriend Natsuki, though her actions can be contradictory, such as offering to take dinner to Natsuki's brother, Midori, but then leaving the food on the ground without seeing him 48.

Suzuran Ayano

Nishida Yuki and Suzuran Ayano have a somewhat distant relationship, though Ayano shows kindness by inviting Yuki to stay at her house despite not being close friends 48. Yuki observes Ayano's kind-hearted and helpful nature but also notes her stubbornness 66. Yuki expresses a desire for the relationship between Akimoto Yoichi, Suzuran Ayano, and Fukayama Midori to become "as complicated as possible," indicating her enjoyment of stirring up trouble 66. She had even considered trying to move into the Suzuran residence to pester Akimoto, but overheard a conversation that changed her mind 113.

Nishida Family

The Nishida Family is a powerful and influential conglomerate, the Nishida Zaibatsu, known for its vast wealth and complex internal dynamics 105 211. The family is matriarchal, with Nishida Shizuko currently serving as its head, and her granddaughter, Nishida Yuki, positioned as the next successor 106 211. The family's reputation is controversial, with outsiders often referring to its women as "Snow Women" due to a perception that men who marry into the family tend to die young 106. Despite their immense power, the family faces internal struggles for control and succession, particularly between Shizuko and Yuki 105 212. The family's traditions prioritize the continuation of the bloodline and the early securing of the next generation, with women giving birth at a young age to ensure the family's future and allow for early education of heirs 37. This tradition also allows for the replacement of "accounts" if a child is trained poorly, emphasizing that only the most outstanding descendants can inherit the family's legacy 37. The family's influence extends to various industries, and its financial power is immense, capable of absorbing significant losses, such as funds equivalent to ten luxury cruise ships, without collapsing 211.

The Nishida Family's internal workings are characterized by:

• Family Traditions and Expectations: The Nishida Family adheres to strict traditions, particularly regarding marriage and childbearing. Women are expected to have children at a young age to secure the next generation quickly, ensuring the continuity of the family's power and influence 37. Prospective husbands for Nishida women must meet stringent criteria, including coming from "three generations of excellence," possessing assets of at least three billion yen, having a sharp mind with an IQ of 140 or higher, and a docile personality accepting of the Nishida Family's tradition of female supremacy 106. The family places a high value on genetics and inheritance, even considering pre-pregnancy genetic testing to ensure healthy offspring and address potential infertility issues within the family 107.
• Power Struggles and Manipulation: The family is rife with power struggles, most notably between Nishida Shizuko, the matriarch, and her granddaughter, Nishida Yuki 105 212. Shizuko actively attempts to toughen Yuki's upbringing and control her actions, while Yuki consistently challenges her grandmother's authority and expectations 105 106. Yuki's mother, Nishida Chizuru, also experiences tension with Shizuko, having chosen not to take over the family business and maintaining a somewhat rebellious stance 92 211. Yuki and Shizuko frequently engage in manipulation and psychological warfare, using family members and external figures as pawns in their schemes 105 308. This struggle ends with Shizuko gradually surrendering authority over the zaibatsu to Yuki 369.
• Nishida Yuki's Ambitions: Nishida Yuki harbors a strong ambition to usurp control of the Nishida Zaibatsu from her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko 212. She does not wish to abandon the Zaibatsu, understanding that its immense power is what allows her to act as she pleases 212. Yuki's strategy involves creating turmoil within the Zaibatsu, such as siphoning off large amounts of funds, to gain leverage against Shizuko 211 215. Her ultimate goal is to force Shizuko to relinquish control, potentially by making her experience motherhood herself, which would necessitate her stepping away from the Zaibatsu's leadership 215 216. Yuki also intends to involve other women in the Nishida Family in her plans, aiming to "drag every woman in the Nishida Family down with her" 215. She views the current crisis as an opportunity to "clean up the interior of the group" and consolidate her power as the new commander 216. Despite her manipulative nature, Yuki's actions are driven by a desire to break free from her grandmother's control and assert her independence, ultimately aiming to start a new era for the Nishida Family rather than merely patching up existing issues 308 328.

Motivations and Goals

Nishida Yuki's overarching motivation is to break free from the constraints imposed by her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, and assert her independence, while simultaneously securing her position within the powerful Nishida Zaibatsu 212 308. She does not wish to abandon the family business entirely, understanding that the Zaibatsu's immense power is what enables her willful and unconventional behavior 212. Instead, she aims to usurp control from Nishida Shizuko, whom she perceives as stifling and overly controlling, and to reshape the family's future on her own terms 212 215 216 308. A significant aspect of her motivation also stems from a profound boredom with her privileged life, leading her to seek excitement and challenge, which she finds primarily in her interactions with Akimoto Yoichi 108. She enjoys manipulating others and being disciplined, a trait possibly stemming from her high-pressure upbringing under Nishida Shizuko 23 320.

Her specific goals and the reasons behind them include:

• Usurping control of the Nishida Zaibatsu from Nishida Shizuko: Yuki believes that her grandmother's continued leadership is a constraint on her and that the Zaibatsu would be better managed by someone more capable, namely herself 212 215. She views Nishida Shizuko as a figure who "looms over her, constrained her, and even controlled her entire life" 216. Yuki is determined to prevent a scenario where she would have to wait a long time to inherit the Zaibatsu or be subjected to artificial insemination, similar to her mother's experience 212. She sees the Zaibatsu's vast resources as a tool to achieve her aims, rather than something to be destroyed 212. This goal is substantially achieved when Shizuko begins returning authority to Yuki 369.
• Forcing Nishida Shizuko to relinquish her position as head of the Nishida Family: This is a direct consequence of her desire to take control of the Zaibatsu. Yuki aims to make Nishida Shizuko "experience motherhood" again, believing that if her grandmother were to become pregnant, she would be forced to give up control of the Zaibatsu, allowing Yuki to gain absolute power 215 216 328. This strategy is a form of revenge against her grandmother for her controlling nature 215.
• Securing Akimoto Yoichi as her partner and the father of her children: Yuki is deeply interested in Akimoto Yoichi, finding him "too interesting" and a "giant box of surprises" because he consistently defies her expectations and plans 108. She has initiated genetic testing to prove his compatibility with the Nishida Family's genetic issues, specifically infertility, and uses this as leverage to gain her grandmother's acceptance of him 107 108. Her determination to have his child is so strong that she is willing to defy Nishida Shizuko's disapproval, even if it threatens her status as heir 108 212. She also plans to involve other Nishida Family women in bearing Akimoto Yoichi's children, aiming to "drag every woman in the Nishida Family down with her" and to lift the "shackles of the Nishida Family" from herself 215 328.
• Preparing Nishida Chizuru and Nishida Shizuko for pregnancy: Having secured greater freedom and authority, Yuki increasingly focuses on making both her mother and grandmother mothers through Akimoto Yoichi, treating this as the core of the Nishida Family's future plan 414.
• Manipulating the Nishida Zaibatsu's assets to gain leverage: Yuki has orchestrated the disappearance of a large sum of the Zaibatsu's liquid assets, enough to buy ten luxury cruise ships, to create turmoil and gain a negotiating advantage over Nishida Shizuko 211 215. She intends to use these funds to increase her leverage and make her grandmother anxious, knowing that Shizuko values the continuation of the Zaibatsu highly 215. This action is a calculated move to force her grandmother to engage with her on her terms 215.
• Using the School Festival as a strategic distraction: Yuki views the School Festival as a "stalling tactic," a "decoy and a disguise to lull Nishida Shizuko into a false sense of security" 212. She plans to use the event to restrict her grandmother and further her agenda of taking control of the Zaibatsu 308. By stirring up chaos before the festival and linking herself inextricably to Akimoto Yoichi, she aims to destabilize the internal workings of the Nishida Zaibatsu 212.
• Deriving pleasure from manipulating and challenging others, particularly Akimoto Yoichi: Yuki finds enjoyment in making others uncomfortable and observing their reactions to her schemes 23. She specifically enjoys watching Akimoto Yoichi's discomfort and obedience, and she is intrigued by his resilience and ability to defy her expectations 23 62 108. This pursuit of interest and excitement is a significant driver for her actions, as her life of privilege often leaves her bored 108.
• Breaking free from the Nishida Family's traditions and expectations: Yuki's actions, such as pursuing Akimoto Yoichi despite her grandmother's disapproval and challenging the family's traditional selection criteria for a husband, demonstrate her desire to rebel against the established norms 106 107 108. She aims to start a "new era" for the Nishida Family, distinct from her grandmother's approach 328.
• Controlling the quality of Akimoto Yoichi's companions: Yuki does not oppose Akimoto having other women around him, but seeks to exclude women she regards as unworthy while accepting capable girls such as Suzuran Ayano, Fukayama Natsuki, and Shiraishi Wakane 411 414.

Plot Involvement

• Initiates Student Council Election and Manipulates Akimoto Yoichi (Chapters 13, 15, 23, 62): Nishida Yuki, as the heiress of Izuki Academy's largest shareholder, orchestrates the dismissal of the existing student council and declares herself the next president, viewing the previous members as weak and inferior. When challenged by the outgoing president, Takasu Takao, to a school-wide election, she accepts, having already chosen Akimoto Yoichi as her vice president 13. Her initial motivation for involving Akimoto Yoichi in the election is to "toy with him," intending for him to lose and be expelled, thus making him dependent on her 62. She uses the pretense of needing him to turn sheet music while she plays the piano, claiming it helps her gain votes, but her true intention is to derive pleasure from his discomfort and obedience 23. Akimoto Yoichi agrees to participate in the election to fulfill a promise to her, despite knowing she is paying his tuition rather than waiving it, and that upperclassmen oppose her presidency 15.

• Becomes Student Council President and Continues Manipulation (Chapters 81, 91): Despite her initial plan for Akimoto Yoichi to lose, the election results in Akimoto Yoichi being elected Vice President and Nishida Yuki as President 91.

Nishida Yuki maintains a friendly demeanor towards those she defeated, like Fukayama Midori, but shows indifference towards him alongside Suzuran Ayano 91. She continues to try and control Akimoto Yoichi, even after her initial plan to have him expelled fails, and is willing to defy her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, to continue associating with him, which threatens her status as heir 108.

Her maid, Kitamura Mao, tends to her injuries, highlighting their close relationship 92.

• Manages Nishida Zaibatsu and Monitors Akimoto Yoichi (Chapter 105): Nishida Yuki works tirelessly managing the Nishida Zaibatsu, a role her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, uses to toughen her upbringing.

• Orchestrates Scheme to Usurp Nishida Zaibatsu (Chapters 212, 215, 216, 308): Nishida Yuki's ambition to usurp the Nishida Zaibatsu from her grandmother, Nishida Shizuko, is revealed 212. She manipulates her grandmother by stealing the zaibatsu's liquid assets to gain leverage for negotiations and ultimately take control 215. Her goal is to bear Akimoto Yoichi's child and involve other women in the Nishida Family in this plan 215. She plans to use the School Festival as a "stalling tactic" and a "decoy" to lull Nishida Shizuko into a false sense of security, while her true objective is to force Nishida Shizuko to relinquish her position as head of the family 212. She believes that by making Nishida Shizuko experience motherhood, she can subjugate her 216. To achieve this, she orders Kitamura Mao to short the Nishida Zaibatsu's stocks, causing Shizuko to send Akimoto Yoichi and Yuki's father to persuade them. Yuki plans to meet her parents and use her mother, Nishida Chizuru, as a pawn to lure Shizuko 308.

• Manages School Festival Operations (Chapter 307): During the School Festival, Nishida Yuki and Kitamura Mao manage online sales and promotions, generating significant revenue.

• Confronts Shizuko and Changes the Family Order (Chapters 359, 360): Yuki confronts Nishida Shizuko with an electrotherapy device, incapacitates Shizuko, Akimoto Yoichi, and Mao, and reveals her intention to make Akimoto Yoichi the man of the Nishida Family 360.

• Resumes Control of the Nishida Zaibatsu (Chapter 369): Following the succession conflict, Yuki resumes handling the Nishida Zaibatsu's affairs as Shizuko gradually returns authority to her 369.

• Establishes the Nishida Faction Around Akimoto Yoichi (Chapters 411, 414): Yuki openly asserts her closeness to Akimoto and begins regulating which girls she considers suitable to join his circle 411.
