Happens twice to Akihisa in episode 7 of Season 2 after he accidentally sends a text message to Minami, when he meant to send it to one of his classmates, Sugawa. He runs a train of thought on how it might've happened, looks over the messages again, and spews out more blood when it looks like he sent a [[Love Confession]] to her.

** Gets interesting in episode 9 of Season 2. Minami steals Akihisa's first kiss, then they clear things up to avoid a war with Class D (which Miharu is in), only to have to go back to "dating" each other in order to start a war with Class D to avoid a war with Class B (yeah, it's a little confusing). Mizuki is asked to be part of the plan and initially agrees. But she seems to ad-lib when she sees them holding each other, then gets jealous of the kiss from earlier and storms off. Since she was wearing the wiretapping device (put there so Miharu could "overhear" how Minami is dating Akihisa and get jealous/declare war again), he runs off to find her, leaving a distraught Minami behind.

Those who got placed in ''this'' class were treated like pariahs and given dorm rooms that were literally falling apart at the seams, even down to the cardboard boxes they used as desks and the third-rate pillows (the stuffing was quite clearly spilling out of the seams). Even the ''teachers'' of Class F realized the terrible situation, copping a very bored, sarcastic tone of voice.

He also tries to help Himeji out by trying to get better equipment for her to study with. And he was the first person to try and befriend Minami when she first moved back to Japan and had a language barrier issue (unfortunately he was trying to reach out to her in French instead of German). Hence one reason why both Himeji and Minami like him.
