Plot
After overhearing that they were looking for a good partner, Ichika approached Suzune Horikita, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, and Ken Sudō, offering to partner up with one of them for the special exam. Initially offering to partner up with Horikita, she offers to partner with Sudō or Ayanokōji after hearing that she was looking for partners for them, under some conditions. She states that she liked strong guys and asks Sudō to prove his strength by brawling with the other second-years, but Suzune declines due to school rules with regard to violence between students. After showing that she was serious about her condition and seeing Horikita and Ayanokōji's attitude towards Sudō's strength, she changes her mind, stating that no one would probably show up to fight Sudō. Ichika then changes her condition by saying that she liked a boy that could cook, which leads Horikita to lie that Ayanokōji had mentioned before that he could cook. Ichika says, as her new condition, that if Ayanokōji could satisfy her in terms of cooking, she wouldn't mind being partner with Sudō in the special exam.

The next day, she met up with Ayanokōji at Keyaki Mall and bought cooking utensils and ingredients for the meal. They headed towards Ayanokōji's room at the second year dormitory, which was neat and clean. Amasawa relaxed inside while stating that she liked to eat Tom yam kung, which was a Thai dish. Ayanokōji prepared the dish and presented it to Amasawa for a taste test and she seemed satisfied with it. Afterwards, she offered to clean the dishes since she was the one who had forced Ayanokōji to her cooking test, then she agreed to be Sudō's partner for the Special Exam.

A few days later, she visited Ayanokōji's room, stating that she had lost her favorite hair rubber. She saw Karuizawa Kei in the room studying with him. Kei introduced herself, and asked her about her relationship with Ayanokōji, and she told her that Ayanokōji was her personal chef, and later teased Ayanokōji for looking at her butt while she searched for her hair rubber, making Kei annoyed. Then Ayanokōji said that he had cooked for Amasawa before but could not tell the details to her. After she found her hair rubber in the kitchen, she apologized for her teasing and left the room.

It was later revealed in Volume 1 that she had assisted with Kazuomi Hōsen's plan to expel Ayanokoji, but her motives remain unclear.

In Volume 2, she decides to team up with Tsubasa Nanase and Kazuomi Housen to form a group to expel Ayanokoji in the next Deserted Island Special Exam.

In Volume 3, Ichika catches a spying Kushida, who tried to use her tablet to record the fight between Kiyotoka and Tsubasa in order to get him expelled. Tormenting her, Ichika physically inflicts damage on Kushida, causing Kushida to show some of her true personality. Ichika goes on to explain that such a sloppy act wouldn't even affect Kiyotoka, who had already noticed the presence of a third party. Kushida then angrily questions her relationship with Kiyotoka, asking if she likes him, to which Ichika replies that it was something that transcended love.

Abilities
In contrast to her appearance, Ichika has high physical abilities and academic abilities having an A in both of those categories on OAA. She is also known to be very intelligent which is acknowledged by Kiyotaka Ayanokōji.
