Relationships[]
Kakinuma's Friends[]
Kakinuma is usually shown to be with a couple of other nerds playing video games. None of the others have been named, and not much is known about them or their relationship. It is revealed in Chapter 188 that they accompany Shiki to the arcade. Koharu, observing them, notice that they seem to take a particular interest in Shiki when she dances the dance challenge game.
Shiki Futaki[]
As noted, he and his friends game with her. Currently nothing more is known about their relationship.
Koharu Minami & Sachi Mima[]
He does not have much of an interaction with either of them before Koharu calls him and Shiki's Otaku Posse™ out for staring at Shiki's Superior Posterior at the arcade. In Chapter 210, after helping with Akane's filming of her classes movie for the Cultural Festival, Koharu publicly asks what a euphemism for . . . um . . . "using the self-service pump" means after Sachi privately sneared that he and the other boys would do "that" to girls in the video. Reina explains that term, and an embarrassed Koharu blurts out that Sachi said it about the boys, including Kakinuma.
Kakinuma does not take this well, and starts yelling at Sachi. For her part, she ignores him whilst inwardly demanding that this "peasant" not talk to her. Meanwhile, Reina teases him by asking which of the girls he . . . um . . . er . . . "does that" to: "Shiki, right?!" While he tries to deny this, she then asks if he would . . . um . . . "do that" to Wada, who is dressed as a girl.
The Omake to Volume 23 reveals that he continues in his tirade, claiming to the progressively embarrassed Koharu that "you girls do it!" When Koharu remains confused, Kakinuma gives the specific term that WataMote Wiki cannot hide in a "hilarious euphemism!"
WataMote Wiki will confess Fan Speculation™, mostly comic and not serious, that he and Koharu or even Sachi could become a pair. To their disappointment, there is currently no evidence of such.
Stay tuned!
