Relationships[]
Masaru Gohonmatsu[]
Hajime and Masaru are both clubmates that praise and admire their senior, Rei Ichijodani, and follow his commands no matter what. Furthermore, they are very close, living with each other and finishing each other's sentences.
They're also very dramatic when it comes to each other. In one of the dramas, Hajime gets buried under clutter when they open a storage closet and Masaru is devastated and overly-dramatic about the accident, asking if Hajime is alive. In another, when Kippei Uwajima uses a leaf blower on his friends, Hajime gets blown away and Masaru runs after him and shouts his name.
Surprisingly, Hajime can be very clingy. He wants Masaru to be around him and gets slightly jealous when he spends more time with others than with him. He gets pouty when Masaru is late to their appointments.
Rei Ichijodani[]
Hajime greatly admires Rei and follows his every word no matter what, alongside Masaru.
Rei scouted both Masaru and Hajime for the Beautification Club.
Kakeru Iimori[]
Ordered by Rei, Hajime has to frequently carry Kakeru around like a mikoshi (portable shrine) in order for him to do his club work. Their relationship isn't all so bad, though, as he calls Kakeru by his first name ("kakeru-san") and admires him. He says that he considers carrying Kakeru around as his hobby, much to his dismay.
