Chihiro is a part of Class B and is often seen hanging out with her classmates and friends.
Class B
Honami Ichinose
Chihiro and Honami Ichinose.
Honami is Chihiro's classmate and object of affection. In Episode 4, Chihiro intimately hugged Honami after they learned the class managed to pass the test. She stated she was happy to be in the class with Honami who was happy to share the same sentiment. Later on, Chihiro wrote a love letter to confess her feelings to her but Honami did not reciprocate these feelings and had no idea of how to handle it without hurting her. She even attempted to seek help from a complete stranger in Kiyotaka to run away from the situation. Thus, Honami soon asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend but he rejected that notion and implored her to be open about her real feelings to the confession.
When Chihiro saw Honami with Kiyotaka, she was surprised and soon became jealous as she tearfully asked if they were a couple especially after Honami struggled to answer about what they were. However, she was relieved to hear from Kiyotaka they were simply friends as he left them to talk it out. Chihiro was heartbroken when Honami blatantly rejected her confession however they compromised and promised to go back to being just friends after the ordeal. Her feelings eventually got the better of her and she was left crying as she ran off. Despite that, Honami hoped they still can be friends even after this event. It is unknown if they ever patched up their friendship after Chihiro's rejection by Honami.
They are later seen hanging out at the pool, suggesting they reached an understanding but they are not shown directly interacting with one another.
