Opposing Izumi For His Relationship

Izumi even tweaks his name in a friendly manner, another gesture that pisses Taiki off. Kyouko is not aware of his crush on her and sees him as a regular classmate. His poor conversation skills combined with Izumi’s show of their relationship completely removed any hope he had of dating her.

Unfortunately, Koichi isn’t the best academically, but he doesn’t let that define him, as he still goes about and does his own thing rather than feeling worthless.

However, this didn’t work out, as Koichi found Miyamura interesting.
