**Relationships**

## Kei Sarukawa

Sarukawa is a rebellious individual, and feels the personal need to disobey everyone, because he doesn't like when people tell him what to do. He only does what he wants.

## Iori Motohashi

Iori is Sarukawa's childhood friend. He calls Iori "Io". They get along, but Saru gets embarassed when Iori calls him "Saru-chan" specifically in public. Sarukawa remarks that Iori is indeed a masochist, and is said to often spank and whack Iori because of these reasons.

Despite everything, Sarukawa trusts Iori more than anyone else. Even though he claims he can't be with people for long, he has been friends with Iori since childhood. Sarukawa trusts Iori so much that he allows him to sleep on his shoulder (source: manga "Charisma, Charisma, they're staying in a Charisma House").

Sarukawa lets Iori help him with small things he can't do himself, such as cutting his hair, trusting Iori with this task in 56 drama-track.

Sarukawa genuinely worries about Iori, displaying his concern even to others, as seen in the drama "Iori and Fumiya" when Iori fainted, causing Sarukawa great distress. In 8 drama-track, Sarukawa forced Iori to give him heavy bag with bento he was carrying because it was hard for Iori to get up with bike and bag. Even though Iori denied it, it was hard to go against Sarukawa.

Iori and Sarukawa are similar in that they are persistent, which can be seen in subsequent drama-tracks, since Sarukawa really wants to help Iori, but has already accepted that his childhood friend cannot be changed, since he has been like this since childhood.

Sarukawa was also indignant that Iori answered for him in his own interview. In Iori's interview, they got into fight, because they were arguing about who couldn't live without whom, but still they care deeply about each other.

There are speculations that the silhouette in the mirror mentioned in "LONE WOLF" is actually Iori, and Sarukawa didn't want to become exactly like him, acknowledging Iori's superiority despite his own rebellious nature.

**Spoiler Warning!!!**

As the story progresses, it's revealed that Sarukawa is slightly envious of Iori but always considered him smarter, eventually coming to terms with this fact. Sarukawa has always pushed Iori away, but Iori's persistence led Sarukawa to relent and let him stay.

Sarukawa doesn't understand many of Iori's motivations, like why Iori dropped all his courses and started coming to Sarukawa even more.

## Terra

Sarukawa often rebels against Terra, but Terra knows his quirks and uses that against him. This situation ends up making Sarukawa the one who often does stuff for Terra, which he hates.

## Rikai Kusanagi

At first Sarukawa have described him as someone extremely annoying and idiot and that really doesn't care about him, but we can see that as more drama-tracks progress, he does care about him, but in a way that he doesn't show honestly.

## Ohse Minato

Sarukawa and Ohse don't interact often, but Sarukawa understands Ohse to some extent. In one of the drama-tracks, Sarukawa taught Ohse to speak more rudely.

When everyone got angry at Ohse because he said about poop, Sarukawa began to defend him, saying that he meant something else. He still likes Ohse's drawing and keeps it.

## Amahiko Tendo

Sarukawa and Amahiko can communicate but don't do it that often. Sarukawa thinks Amahiko is weird due to his "sexy ways". So, in 6 drama-track, he started to resent why Amahiko comes up behind him when he was washing. In recent dramatrack, they talked and supported a common theme, even laughed. Sarukawa is also, although in denial, attached to Amahiko's normal personality with his sexy things.

## Fumiya Ito

Sarukawa states that no matter what situation he's in, Fumiya is the only one he wouldn't want help from. Nevertheless, Fumiya knows about Sarukawa's weaknesses (not all, but he knows Sarukawa is afraid of tickling), and uses it, to which Sarukawa is angry.
