Iori and Kei
Background[]
Upon Iori's introduction, Iori's score on the most recent examination results in the rankings of everyone below Hikari to drop by one place. He also wants to get first place, so Hikari sees him as both a rival and a friend. He dreams of becoming a beautician, so he works part-time in order to earn money, even if it is against school rules to do so, and lives in a one room apartment by himself. He develops feelings for Hikari and intends to compete with Kei for Hikari (who is largely unaware of Iori's romantic feelings toward her. Of course! This is Hikari we're talking about!). After Hikari agrees to grant him a wish if he obtains first place, Iori ties 1st with Kei on the midterm exams and tells Hikari to break up with Kei, though he later brushes it off as a joke. He eventually realizes that Hikari loves Kei, and for his wish, he asks Hikari for them to always remain good friends, which she agrees to. His first appearence is in chapter 76. He is mentioned to be "A stylist in the making".
Relationship[]
Hikari Hanazono[]
When Iori first met Hikari, Iori was very fond of Hikari's persistent personality. Their relationship then grew stronger because of their similarities, which causes Kei to become very jealous. Later on in the story, Iori decides to ask Hikari if she would like to model for him, since he wants to become a professional stylist, and so, Hikari says yes. When Kei figures out that Hikari is Iori's model, he then becomes determined to get rid of Iori so he can have Hikari. This makes both Iori and Kei rivals. Although, for Hikari, she is still concerned for the two of them because of their jealous rivalry over her, and the number one spot. Later on in the series, Kei finally decides to let Hikari model for Iori, but on the condition of letting him see them perform in the final round. At the end of the round, Hikari promises Iori that they will be friends no matter what since they won, and at that very moment, Iori knew that although Hikari doesn't love him in a romantic way, he knows she will always care about him.
