Her life intersects with that of Taiga Aisaka, nicknamed the “Palmar Tiger”, a petite and cute student but with a violent character. Both attend class 2-C. After an accident, Ryūji learns that Taiga is in love with her best friend, Yūsaku Kitamura, while Taiga learns that Ryūji is in love with her best friend, Minori Kushieda.
