Relationships

 * Arata Hinohara: Both boys were best friends until Kadowaki's personal life goes out of control causing him to lash out at his peers. Hinohara is more kind-hearted than Kadowaki, which the latter uses to his advantage as making Hinohara a puppet for his own amusement. Kadowaki has some vulnerable moments where he reveals that he wishes to be better than Hinohara who was liked based on his own attributes instead of financial prestige.
 * Miyabi: Harunawa's servant, but now Kadowaki's. Although Miyabi is not the brightest of characters, she is one of the few characters that keeps her skin intact after annoying Kadowaki. Although Kadowaki is self-interested, he begins to grow concern over Miyabi after she explains her family and health issues. Miyabi truly wishes to become Kadowaki's friend and listens to Kadowaki lament over past events. She offers advice which Kadowaki brushes aside, but it is obvious that he does listen to her ramblings. She may become a love interest in the future since it is shown that Kadowaki does show some concern for her well-being.
