Bow
Yutaro and Bow have opposite personalities but they get along because they admire the traits they lack in each other. Yutaro expresses care for Bow by speaking and acting gently towards her compared to everyone else. Bow looks up to Yutaro like she does for her sister and cares for him like she does for her brother. They bond over what they find in the world around them and amuse each other with their idiosyncrasies.

Nathan
Yutaro and Nathan have a relationship that can be described as a bromance. Yutaro can shift from flirty to insulting towards Nathan while Nathan can be passive-aggressive towards Yutaro. They do this to annoy each other, however, this unadulterated banter only brings them closer together. They form a dynamic based on incessant jests ranging from silly to witty and affection that is ironic and genuine at the same time.

Karen
Yutaro’s mother has a serious disposition. Although she is not strict with him, he is obedient towards her and holds her in high respect. However, this caused him to form a strained relationship with her and finds it difficult to express his affection to his loved ones as a result.

Akito
Yutaro has a closer relationship with his father compared to his mother. This is because he is often at home compared to his mother and his father’s timid nature puts him at ease when it comes to talking to him. However, he doesn’t hold any less respect for his father and although, his father is lenient, he is never irresponsible.

Sarah
Yutaro admires Sarah for her good nature and genuine care for her students. Although he looks up to her, he won't show it due to his self-deprecation and reserved disposition.
