Takemichi Hanagaki/Relationships

Hinata Tachibana
Hinata is Takemichi's only girlfriend in his 26 years of life. When he finds out she dies, he is devastated by it even though they hadn't met in years. She is the driving force to Takemichi's determination to change the future for the better.

After going back in time, Takemichi comes to greatly love and appreciate Hinata, which is slightly different from when he was a true 14 year old. When he really was a 14 year old, he constantly worried her and cared little for her. He recalls that he also took her for granted, which were factors that led to their breakup in the past.

Whenever Takemichi loses his determination and purpose, it is Hinata who shows him the way and inspires him, whether directly or indirectly. It is revealed that even after their breakup, Hinata never went into another relationship in hopes of meeting Takemichi one day again. She also kept the cheap four leaf clover that he gifted her all those years ago as well.
