Iroha Isshiki

Iroha Isshiki has light brown, soft hair that some believe is natural.

She dresses fashionably and puts effort into her appearance, always making her school uniform look cute and trendy.

Her smile and relaxed style make her look approachable and friendly.

Iroha acts like a sweet and easygoing girl, but she understands the kind of character people expect her to be.

She can read the room well and knows how to play into people’s expectations, which is why Hachiman Hikigaya sees her as calculating rather than truly clueless.

Her main belief is “There’s no girl who’s not a little bit troublesome,” and she includes herself in this.

While Iroha often acts lazy and unmotivated, she becomes surprisingly energetic and assertive when she is curious or interested in something.

She is something of a “little devil” who knows she’s cute, but she is also straightforward and diligent when given a job or responsibility.

Iroha is popular with boys and has a complicated relationship with popular students, sometimes being teased by other girls.

Iroha is very good at asking for favors and getting people to help her.

She manages to complete her tasks well, especially when she takes on bigger roles like being student council president.

Despite pretending to be lazy, she works hard when she chooses to.

Iroha is a junior to Hachiman Hikigaya, the main character, and works as the manager of the soccer club along with Hayato Hayama and Kakeru Tobe.

She has a crush on Hayato Hayama but treats Kakeru Tobe as an “errand boy.”

She does not have many close girlfriends and has even received some mean-spirited teasing, but she acts like it doesn’t bother her.

After working with the Service Club, she starts relying on Hachiman in her own pushy way and teases him a lot.

She keeps aiming for Hayato but also hints that if Hachiman confesses his feelings, she might accept—a playful attitude she shows during their forced date in Volume 10.5.

First Appearance and Early Involvement

Iroha first appears in Volume 7.5 but only in a small role, so many thought she was a throwaway character.

She is properly introduced in Volume 8 and becomes an important part of the series.

Student Council President Arc

Iroha tries to avoid being made student council president. She asks the Service Club to help her escape the role.

After a lot of twists and turns, Hachiman convinces her to accept the position.

At first, she doesn't want the job and can't lead the other members because they are all shy with each other.

Inspired by Hachiman’s efforts with Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama, Iroha decides to confess her feelings to Hayato Hayama, but he turns her down.

After being rejected, she starts thinking about how to make her own way forward and becomes more involved with the Service Club, often visiting them with silly reasons.

Relationship with Hachiman

Though she keeps chasing Hayato, she also hints she wouldn’t mind if Hachiman confessed to her.

In Volume 10.5, she even drags him out on an unofficial date.

Continued Involvement

Even after the main events of the student council are over, she often hangs around the Service Club.

Both Hachiman and Yukino keep asking her, “Why are you here?” but she just laughs it off.

According to the author, Iroha is “the cutest annoying girl in the world.”

She became the third main heroine after the anime’s second season aired, joining Yukino and Yui as a fan favorite.

Her nickname “Irohasu” comes from her friend Kakeru Tobe.

Despite her late appearance, Iroha quickly became one of the most popular and important characters.
