Kawai Rami

**Kawai Rami**
 (河 (かわ) 合 (い)  羅 (ら) 美 (み)
, *Kawai Rami*?) is the student council president of Yuushuushin Prep School. She was Tadano Hitohito's classmate in middle school and his first love.

## Appearance

Kawai is described as the prettiest girl in her school by her classmates with long brown hair(silver hair in the manga.) that is split into two sections flowing down her shoulders with bangs covering her right eye and she has blue eyes with a slanted shape like Komi Shouko.

Her school uniform consists of a dress shirt and a knee-length pleated skirt, but she also wears a buttoned jacket with her school's logo on the left breast over it.

## Personality

Kawai acts cool and friendly on the outside. At the study camp, she captivates many of the Itan Private High School students with just a few sentences. She is very popular at her school, to the point where there is a cult dedicated to her, but she gets embarrassed when it is brought up. Tadano acts awkwardly around her since he was rejected by her, but she has no qualms against teasing him about it.

However, Kawai seems to be quite judgemental. When she first meets the Itan Private High School students, she coldly evaluates each of them with a grade before interacting the one she considers the best. Additionally, she appears to dislike Komi simply because "she is too beautiful", though she lately expressed that Komi "wasn't worth" for Tadano as his girlfriend.

She is very smart, as evidenced by how she is at the top of her year in terms of studies, despite already attending one of the more prominent schools in the prefecture.

She can be obsessive at the point of being disturbing as she was determined to marry with Tadano even if that can mean to include Komi on their marriage. That comes to the level of showing videos to convince him to accept her proposal with her friends acting as Hitohito on the projections.

She can be some kind of abusive and authoritative with her relatives and friends, though they deny her actions.

## History

In her second year of middle school, Kawai had a mutual crush on Tadano, but she was forced to turn down his confession because she thought Tadano would have gotten full of himself and believed being a chuunibyou was the right path if she had said yes. She rejected him under the pretext that she thought chuunibyous were lame, which was what caused Tadano to form his current personality. However, as a result, she sulked in bed for three days and nights.

Later, Kawai met up with Tadano and Komi in [Chapter 377] where when they first arrived to the Study Camp and she rated Komi as a "failure" for an assesment of people which would be a good influence on Tadano (Because she saw Komi as a threat for her plans to marry Hitohito). This drove Kawai to despise Shouko in private, showing how she's objectively better for Tadano, and soliciting her to break up with Hitohito.

Due Shouko negating Rami's request, they left their fate into the Study Camp's competitions. Where after having a good string of victories, she lost on the final event.

After losing, Kawai admits her defeat and changes her perspective on Komi, leading to become her 75th friend on the list. She shortly became a third wheel on the relationship, often insisting to marry both.

## Trivia

* Her family name, **Kawai**, is a pun on the word *kawaii* (可愛い), meaning "cute, adorable", which reflects on her appearance.
* She made her first appearance in Chapter 32 of the manga, when Osana Najimi was explaining to Komi what a chuunibyou was, using Tadano as an example.
	+ Only her family name was revealed in Chapter 32. Her given name, Rami, was revealed during her proper introduction in Chapter 377.
