Background / History
Ichinose quickly emerged as a central presence in Class B during its first discussion of the school’s Private Point system. When Hoshinomiya Chie withheld the price of information about the school’s rules, Ichinose quieted the room and proposed pooling the class’s points to purchase it. Most of the class immediately supported her proposal, demonstrating her influence among her peers 2.
During the early days of school, she repeatedly sought Miyama Saku’s perspective on the school’s hidden rules and attempted to include him in class social activities. Although he regularly avoided her invitations, Ichinose continued approaching him with openness rather than resentment 5 6 7.
After Miyama became the subject of the school forum’s “Beautiful Girl Ranking,” Ichinose reassured him, offered to help resolve the issue, and discreetly monitored the situation until his listing was removed 14 15. When Class B began preparing for possible special exams, she organized a class reserve fund and accepted half of each participating student’s monthly points for safekeeping 20.
Personality
Ichinose is friendly, socially confident, and direct. She speaks frankly about her curiosity toward others, including Miyama’s isolation and private connections, but her interest is presented as concern rather than suspicion 6 7.
She has a natural ability to calm groups and turn uncertainty into collective action. When Class B is distracted or anxious, she redirects attention to immediate priorities, such as leaving for the entrance ceremony or discussing the point system constructively 2 3.
Her kindness is practical as well as emotional. She provides Miyama with organized study notes, notices that he skipped lunch, and gives him food without making him feel pitied 18. She is also cautious with unverified information, refusing to publicly identify the suspected creator of the forum ranking without proof 14.
Abilities & Skills
Social Leadership

- Prioritized helping classmates who were closer to the failing line when Miyama said he could manage independently 17.
Relationships
- Miyama Saku — Classmate whose guarded, solitary behavior she repeatedly tries to understand and include. She supports him through the forum-ranking incident, offers academic help, and manages his contribution to Class B’s reserve fund 5 14 15 18 20.
- Kanzaki Ryuji — Fellow Class B student who shares her concern for understanding the school’s systems. Both seek Miyama’s analysis of the point system, though their approaches differ from his caution 3 5.

- Class B — Ichinose functions as an informal organizer, using her popularity and trustworthiness to coordinate collective decisions 2 20.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Private Point System
Ichinose becomes Class B’s first clear organizer after Hoshinomiya introduces the 100,000-point allowance without explaining the full system. She proposes pooling points for information and keeps the class focused when debate risks delaying the entrance ceremony 2 3.
Building Class B Cooperation
As concerns over points, hidden evaluations, and class competition grow, Ichinose remains an approachable source of support. Her social network contrasts with Miyama’s preference for independence, but she consistently tries to bridge that distance 5 6.
Forum Ranking Incident
When Miyama’s image is posted in the “Beautiful Girl Ranking,” Ichinose comforts him, cautiously shares her suspicion that a Class D boy may be involved, and avoids naming anyone without evidence. Her continued checks on Miyama coincide with the controversy fading and his removal from the ranking 14 15.
Exam Preparation and Reserve Fund
After the school announces that failing major exams can result in expulsion, Ichinose offers Miyama tutoring and gives him study notes and food. She later coordinates a Class B emergency fund, collecting half of participating students’ monthly Private Points in preparation for special exams 17 18 20.
Trivia
- Ichinose’s first response to Miyama’s correction that he is male is to redirect Hoshinomiya and the class back to the school’s rules 2.
- She orders food for Miyama during their group lunch and adds pickles because she thinks he will like them 14.
- Miyama believes her efforts contributed to his removal from the “Beautiful Girl Ranking,” though this is not directly confirmed 15.
