Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Yuichi's friend Miyuki is rather insensitive and Yuichi states that he only visited to look at his Porn Stash, but he still helps take Rika to their school and is with him when Yuichi decides to meet Rika by swinging onto her balcony.

comment
Delicate and Sickly: Rika has a faulty heart valve which makes physical exertion dangerous. It also means she's prone to random cardiac attacks, hence why she's lived in hospitals for most, if not all, of her life.

Porn Stash: Tada leaves his large collection of racy magazines to Yuichi, which gets him in huge trouble when Rika finds it. He's mildly interested in their contents, but has little regret when he finally burns it to win Rika back.
