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. In Episode 4, Chihiro wrote a love letter to confess her feelings to her but Ichinose did not reciprocate these feelings and had no idea of how to handle it without hurting her. Ichinose soon turned to Kiyotaka for his help and he implored to be open about her real feelings to the confession.

When Chihiro saw Ichinose with Kiyotaka, she was jealous and nearly cried especially after the latter struggled to answer about what they were but was relieved to hear 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 has hopes they can be friends even after this event.

Other Classmates
Besides being class president, Honami's outgoing and engaging personality make her 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.

Kakeru Ryūen
She appears to be familiar with him and his ways as shown when she stopped him and his henchman from trying to provoke Ken Sudō. Though he tried to cover his intentions, she saw through them and reprimanded them for their actions as they complied and left Sudō alone. This shows deference to her as neither Kakeru or his men 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 meets him formally where she asks Kushida if she was dating Ayanokōji but is told that is not the case. She later asks to see him and 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 him as she is unsure of how to answer the confession but her friend shows up and sees them together. When asked what they were, Ichinose tried to nervously "confirm" they were a couple but Ayanokōji answered first stating he and Ichinose were simply friends, to her surprise. He leaves telling her to talk it out with that person and explained how hard it was to gather the courage to confess as she decided to follow his advice.

This event shows he has no problems associating with her and is willing to help her 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 winking at as she stated she owed him a favor. This gained attention from Kikyō and the other students who wondered exactly what Honami owed Kiyotaka. She helped him get evidence for the fight Sudō was in and had no problem making physical contact with after he asked to borrow her phone, though she quickly reclaimed it after it looked like he saw how many points she had.

In Episode 6, he asks to borrow points from her to get security cameras promising to pay her back. After meeting with her they talk, it appears she recognizes his intelligence as she wondered how he can be in Class D. He gives her a vague answer as she smiles in response to the answer probably out of respect for his privacy. She later helps him in saving Airi Sakura from a crazed stalker by bring security to take the culprit away.

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.
