Honami Ichinose/Relationships

Honami is a sweet girl who has made friends with many people including those of the lower classes. Her kindness and beauty has earned her immense popularity and she is greatly admired by those in the school. These are the known relationship she has made over the series.

Chihiro Shiranami
Chihiro is a classmate and friend of Ichinose who unknown to her harbored romantic feelings for her. Chihiro wrote a love letter to confess her feelings to her. Ichinose did not reciprocate these feelings and had no idea of how to handle it so she turned to Kiyotaka for help and he implored to be open about her feelings.

When Chihiro saw Ichinose with Kiyotaka, she was jealous especially after the latter struggled to answer about what they were but was relieved they were simply friends. Chihiro was heartbroken when the Ichinose rejected her even they both promised to go back to being friends which left her crying as she ran off. Despite that, Ichinose still hopes they can be friends even after this event.

Other Classmates
Besides being class president, Honami's outgoing and engaging personality make her be adored by her classmates. Unlike most of her peers, she doesn't share their views of looking down on Class D and is more down to earth than them. This was shown when some of her class were trying to provoke Ken Sudō and she quickly intervened and gently reprimanded them for their actions as they complied and left Sudō alone. This shows deference to her as the president as none of them tried to go against her order and did as they were told.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji
Kiyotaka and Honami first met when she walking down the hall after Kikyō Kushida greeted her and stated her goal of being friends with everyone even those from other classes. He soon watches her stop Ken Sudō from getting into a fight with some of her classmates of Class B.

In episode 4, she begs him for aid by asking to pretend to be her boyfriend after one of her friends gave her a love letter. This shows she trusts him to an extent as she could of chosen anyone besides but needed his help the most. Though Kiyotaka refused, she begs as she is unsure of how to answer the confession but her friend shows up and sees them together. When asked what they were, Ayanokōji answered he and Ichinose were simply friends and leaves telling her to talk it out with that person. This shows he has no problems associating with her and is willing to give her advice but it is unknown if he genuinely considers her to be a friend or if it was simply a ruse to cover for her. After Honami turned down Chihiro, she thanked Kiyotaka for helping her and apologized for dragging him into her mess but he was fine with it as Honami stated she owed him for his help. She acted on her word and helped him in proving the innocence of Ken Sudō as he was confused by her act as she slyly stated she owed him while winking. This gained attention from Kikyō and the other students who wondered exactly what Honami owed Kiyotaka.

Kikyō Kushida
She is shown to be friendly terms with Kikyō as the latter greeted her sometime after school first started. When questioned about their interactions by Kiyotaka, Kikyō responded by stating she was trying to be friends with everyone.

In episode 4, she helps Kikyō and her friends out in proving Sudō's innocence as Kikyō thanked her for the aid. Kikyō was very curious to know exactly what Honami owed Kiyotaka after she stated she had a debt to him.
