Akihiko Kaji/Relationships
| Mafuyu Sato |
|---|
Seemingly unsure of what to make of Mafuyu who Ritsuka out of the blue brings him to band practice, Akihiko identifies the positive impact he has on Ritsuka's performance aspects.
| Ritsuka Uenoyama |
|---|
Participating in the band and part time work with Ritsuka
The drummer in Ritsuka's band, Akihiko works with him well there and at a convenience store and a moving company with him.
Akihiko becomes increasingly aware of how Ritsuka may feel about Mafuyu but pre-emptively breaks the ice assuming that something had happened between them, with what Akihiko and Ritsuka's assumptions about what the problem was being different. Though a hurdle, Akihiko alleviated any tensions Ritsuka may have had by sharing his past experiences.
| Haruki Nakayama |
|---|
Akihiko and Haruki become friends after Akihiko was asked to enjoy the band from Haruki. Akihiko often shares knowing glances with Haruki when suggestions like perfo rming together are made. He likes touching his long hair and Akihiko has romantic feelings for Haruki, even though he doesn’t realize it until the end of Summer, before the CAC event.
After a fight with his ex-boyfriend Ugetsu, Akihiko begins to live with Haruki. During their cohabitation, Akihiko finally realizes his romantic feelings towards him. After the CAC Event, Akihiko begins to change in order to become a better person for Haruki. In spring, Akihiko attends a violin competition, Haruki and Mafuyu go there without telling him. But overwhelmed by Akihiko’s sophisticate and raw passion, Haruki leaves before the end of the competition, telling Mafuyu that he doesn’t feel well.
Later Akihiko finds Haruki on the riverside and they have a discussion with Haruki asking why he becomes distant from him; he answers that he broke up with Ugetsu and got in touch with his parents to beg them for money. At the same time he left all his jobs, dedicating himself to play the violin. When Haruki continues asking questions Akihiko stops him saying that he changes his way of living to become a good enough man for him. After a silent, embarrassing moment he asks Haruki if he can touch him; Haruki says “yes” and Akihiko hugs him, confessing that he is in love with him and askes for another chance. Haruki accepts becoming his boyfriend.
| Ugetsu Murata |

He was referenced as an unnamed roommate of Akihiko's who is considered family.[1] They are then shown to be very close to sharing the bed and enjoying their time together when Ugetsu is not abroad.
Akihiko met Ugetsu during the summer of his first year in high school, becoming his first friend. Later, they got together. Akihiko, during his third year in high school, using his parents’ divorce as an excuse, went to live at Ugetsu's house.
