• She’s close friends with her classmates Midori and Akane. Since they’re always hearing her complain about Otaku-kun, they’ve already figured out that she has feelings for him — even though Aoi herself hasn’t realized it yet.

• She sees Midori as the mature one, so she secretly asks her for love advice while pretending it’s about “a friend who’s having relationship troubles.”

• Whenever Otaku-kun makes a lewd request, she’s totally taken aback — but then she remembers Midori’s advice and goes along with it every time.
