Aiko Iwase is an intelligent former junior-high classmate of Mashiro and Takagi and a consistently high academic achiever. Strict, demanding and difficult to approach, she leads a solitary life without being troubled by it and respects people mainly when they can rival her school ranking.
Story spoilers
Iwase later reveals that she liked Takagi because he was the only student who could outperform her academically, but her understated attempts to express that interest went unnoticed. In chapter 60, she reappears as a To-oh University student and novelist, enters publishing to challenge Takagi on literary grounds, and eventually writes stories for Shonen Jump, including Eiji's manga +Natural.
