Tenjiku Arc
In a flashback during the all-out battle between the Tokyo Manji Gang and Tenjiku, Hajime Kokonoi recalls one instance where Seishu Inui approaches him in the library. Inupi asks what book he is reading, and he tells him that it is about making money. Inupi advices him to go home, subtly stating that he is not like him who is an orphan, but Koko does not listen and continues to read. Moments later, Koko wanders around the library to return the books he borrowed. He passes through an aisle directly aligned to a window nook where Inupi dozes off soundly. He approaches him and kisses him, until he falls to his knees at the remembrance of Akane Inui, Inupi's older sister.

On the day of Akane's death, she invites Koko and her younger brother Inupi to the library. However, Inupi declines and goes straight home, while Koko joins her to study. In the library, Akane soon falls asleep as Koko reads a book; he teases her for napping and basks in her beauty, noting how she significantly shares facial characteristics with Inupi, before getting the idea to kiss her. However, he halts his actions midway through as Akane wakes up and tells him to only kiss the person he has true feelings for. Koko confesses his romantic interest in her, and convinces her that age is none of his concerns despite Akane previously pointing out their five-year age gap.
