Mami Nanami/Relationships

## Kazuya Kinoshita

Kazuya was Mami's boyfriend for around one month before she dumped him in a favor of a better boyfriend (which is revealed to be a lie) and blocked him on social media. Exactly why she dumped him is yet to be known as Mami has admitted several times that she does not have a new boyfriend.

Despite having broken up with Kazuya, Mami seems to have lingering feelings and even some animosity towards him, especially when Kazuya showed up with Chizuru Ichinose by his side to a drinking party not long after the break up. Despite putting up a facade, Mami is secretly antagonistic and spiteful towards Kazuya's new path in life and has secretly declared her intention to ruin his new relationship.

During the beach trip, Mami made several attempts to flirt with Kazuya despite their relationship being over. The two sat on the beach away from the others, and recollected on some of their previous dates. Later in the day, Mami purposely hid her bracelet between some rocks and tricked Kazuya into helping her look for it. When Mami slips on a rock, Kazuya catches her, and she pulls him into a kiss. She apologizes, and asks that Kazuya act like it never happened. Later, when Kazuya declares that him and Chizuru are considering ending their "relationship", Mami is visibly elated.

Ironically, Kazuya does not know her real persona and despite his "relationship" with Chizuru, he often reminisces on his time together with Mami. As more time passes, Kazuya gradually comes to accept that Mami most likely no longer has feelings for him. On the other hand, Mami is shown to still have strong feelings for Kazuya despite her spiteful attitude, and her attempts at getting him and Chizuru to "break up" may be so that she can get back together with him.

## Chizuru Ichinose

Mami strongly dislikes Chizuru and she is jealous of her "relationship" with Kazuya Kinoshita, despite the fact that she dumped him. Mami also appears to be jealous of Chizuru's figure, immediately covering herself to prevent Kazuya from comparing them in their swimsuits.

Mami found out that Chizuru is a rental girlfriend of Kazuya after encountering Kazuya with Sumi Sakurasawa in a game park. Later on, Mami took Chizuru to karaoke (the place where Kazuya works) after renting her with a fake name and suggested to her that she stop "dating" Kazuya as she is fed up with it.

## Ruka Sarashina

Mami first met with Ruka in a karaoke where Ruka and Kazuya Kinoshita are working at. Ruka deduces that Mami is Kazuya's ex-girlfriend and confronts her for continuing to follow Kazuya after breaking up with him. Ruka declares Kazuya belongs to her and berates Mami for her seemingly jealous behavior. Mami leaves appearing sad to Kazuya, but is actually disgruntled by Ruka's abrasiveness.

During the Paradise Arc, Mami then attempts to manipulate Ruka's feelings in an attempt to get between Kazuya and Chizuru Ichinose.

## Sumi Sakurasawa

Mami abruptly noticed Kazuya Kinoshita walking along with Sumi and tailed them. As Kazuya was returning from the restroom, he was shocked to see Mami having a conversation with Sumi. However, during the tense encounter, Sumi firmly displayed her affections as his 'girlfriend,' much to Mami and Kazuya's surprise. Mami politely asks Sumi if she could have a moment to talk with Kazuya alone, but only agrees at Kazuya's behest.

In Chapter 5 of the spin-off series *Kanojo, Hitomishirimasu*, Mami's first encounter with Sumi was at a café, although Mami was unaware of her presence. A group of men approached Mami's table, which startled Sumi; to her surprise, Mami welcomed them to sit with her without any concern. At this point, Sumi quietly observed Mami as a case study to become a better girlfriend. Although the men were flirting with her, she seemed mostly unaffected by their advances, until one man was described by his friends as a student learning German. Mami's attitude quickly changed and she managed to sweet talk the guy into doing her German essay for her. Mami also used her charms to get the other guys to pay for her food and drink. Once her essay was complete, she made an excuse to seem like she was in a hurry to get somewhere. When asked for her name, she gave them a fake name and took off. Sumi was impressed by how well she had the men in the palm of her hands.

In Chapter 8, Mami and Sumi cross paths again, this time during Sumi's date with Kazuya. Despite seeing her before, Sumi does not fully remember Mami.

## Mami's Brother (unnamed)

Mami seems to have a typical brother/sister relationship where she tosses a pillow at him for giving her grief.

## Tarou Urashima

  **Section contains heavy spoilers.** *Click here to reveal spoilers.*

Tarou was Mami’s first boyfriend whom she met each other through a mutual friend (possibly a gaming friend because they both love playing games on their cellphones). They had a loving relationship that was typical of people their age and she was around 15 years old when she was implied to have had sexual relations with him and ended up conceiving a baby. Unfortunately, Mami was already arranged to marry someone from the Hakuba family, leading to her father to force Tarou to text Mami that he found another girl and wants to break up.
It should be noted that the facts about the "baby" is a metaphor used by the author.
