Relationships

 * Yume Nijino
 * They often meet. He tends to tease her a lot and often calls Yume "Boiled Octopus" due to her tendency to flush red when angry. It's noted by Subaru's fellow M4 members that although Subaru rarely thinks that highly of others, he constantly talks about Yume and regards her as interesting. He's often shown concern for Yume and has developed feelings for her ever since. In Episode 37, Yume called him "Subaru-kun", embarrassing him and implying this further. Yume declares Subaru as her rival, which Subaru officially reciprocates following Yume's induction into S4.


 * Nozomu Igarashi

 * Kanata Kira
 * Fellow member of M4. He also teases Subaru about his feelings for Yume on occasion.
