Relationships
Tomoki Kuroki
Akari has a crush on Tomoki who is largely unaware of her despite being in the same class.
Tomoko Kuroki
Akari and Tomoko have a one-sided rivalry due to a misunderstanding. Akari mistakenly thought Tomoko was Tomoki's girlfriend. After a comic misunderstanding in Chapter 91 which results in Akari confessing to Tomoki in front of Kotomi and Tomoko that she, too, wants "to see his dick," Tomoko refers to her and Kotomi as the "Dick Sisters (ちんちん妹・chinchin imōto/shisotā)." She specifically addresses her as "Little Dick Child (ちん子ちゃん・chinko-chan)."
Sayaka
Akari and Sayaka are close friends. They have known each other since middle school and currently attend the same high school. Aside from hanging out at school, they also spend time outside of class as seen during a Christmas get together. However Sakaya is the one in Chapter 95 who infamously confronts Tomoko's denigration of Akari for wanting to see her brother's unmentionables. In Chapter 145 she loudly reminds Akari of this event in class when she tries to reassure her that she should not be embarrassed by it nor feel she has no chance with Tomoki.
When she discovers that Sayaka appears to be developing a relationship with the previously unnamed friend of Tomoki, Nakamura, she decides not to be jealous but to support her as she supports her over Tomoki. When Sayaka "doth protest too much" denying any interest in Nakamura, Akari tries to tease her by suggesting that, then, she can pursue him. Sayaka explodes over Akari's eventual confession that she was joking by suggesting that Nakamura's Unmentionables will prove too small for her! Watamote Wiki can neither confirm nor deny that Sayaka has viewed Nakamura's di[CENSORED - Ed.]k.
Kotomi Komiyama
Akari mistook Kotomi for Tomoki's older sister. Despite being rivals for Tomoki's affections, Akari and Kotomi have become friends. It appears that Akari is willing to let Kotomi pursue Tomoki, though the Omake reveals she claimed she would not give up her own pursuit. Still, she encourages and helps Kotomi make Valentine's Day chocolates for Tomoki and even rushes to prevent Tomoki receiving the wrong chocolates after a slap-stick mix-up between Tomoko and Kotomi's chocolates.
Trivia
- She appears unnamed in the anime and is listed as "Female Middle-Schooler" (女子中学生) in the credits.
- She shares her name with the former Chiba Lotte Marines player and current manager Tadahito Iguchi.
