Comikey publishes the manga adaptation in English and describes the story as follows:
“Satou Koharu is a pretty girl that everyone can recognize.”
But her attitude with anyone is so bitter that she got nicknamed “Salt-God Sato-san.” Anyone who tried to get close to her got emotionally injured in a brutal way. Though for some reason, I was able to save Sato-san from some pick-up boys where I was working at. Which made her like me, and thus I became a friend of “Salt-god Sato-san.” In front of everyone, she is a salt-god, but in front of me, she is very sweet. This is a high school life story of Satou-san and I.
