Io Ichimonji is part of the Main Cast of in Lessons In Love. Io was the 14th girl to join Sensei's class, doing so in v.0.12.0p2. She lives in Room 7 with Uta Ushibori.

Background

Little is known about Io’s past. She presumably was born and raised in Kumon-mi and lived in the Bathhouse her aunt owns for reasons unknown, because the subject of her parents never came up so far.

Io was diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses, which is why she has to take different kinds of medicine to deal with them, but she gets prescribed so many she doesn’t know what illnesses she gets treated for anymore, outside of anxiety.

At one point, she met Uta in an online forum, though both thought each other was a boy before they met in person, yet still became best friends in the end. Like her, she attended Kumon-mi Academy until it was swallowed during Fireworks, Chicken, and the Innate Fear of Death. When she was migrated to Kumon-mi High, she became a student in Wakana’s class until Uta convinced Sensei to let her transfer into his, being the first who joined Sensei’s class after the migration process.

Characteristics

Io is an anti-social girl, though unlike Sana it’s not a result of shyness. Her communication skills are fine, since she has no problem holding a conversation or speaking her mind, she just has no interest in social interactions or socializing with other girls.

She can be nice and sociable, but she shows this side only to the small group of people she likes, I.e, Uta, Yuki and Sensei. If she has to talk to anyone else, her attitude depends on the person. If she has no negative opinion of them, she speaks normally with them, if she doesn’t like someone because she sees them as annoying or knows that they’re close with Sensei, she’s dismissive, passive-aggressive and blunt with her dislike of them.

Despite being rather confident in her interactions, she can easily become a nervous wreck due to her mental state. This mostly happens when Sensei is involved as seen in One Man's Trash where she lost confidence in her crafted toy when Kirin called it trash, and whenever she witnesses him being close with other girls like in In Some Cases, Love and Walking on Eggshells. She also has a low opinion of herself, to the point where she makes self-deprecating comments about herself.

Io is a capable craftswoman, being able to repair broken equipment, like the kotatsu in her room, and to build toys and furniture from scratch, like most of her toys and Sensei’s impressive wardrobe.

Relationships

SENSEI

After she joined his class, she sees Sensei as the only adult she can trust. While she emotionally latched onto him out of necessity, she started to genuinely like him, feeling like she can’t live on if he decides to abandon her. She feels comfortable in his presence, tries to get his affection any time they’re together and even wants to be his girlfriend.

While Sensei is Io’s biggest source of comfort, he can also easily make her feel uncomfortable. This mostly happens when Sensei spends time with other girls. She’s also aware of the kind of relationship he wants with her, but she can’t reciprocate those feelings as she’s unable to indulge those feelings, yet is too scared to tell him, fearing that he would lose interest in her. The thought of losing him is her greatest fear.

YUKI

Yuki is a regular at the bathhouse Io works at. Io likes and respects her.

UTA

Uta is Io’s roommate and closest friend. Both met each other in an online forum and spent a lot of time chatting, though both thought they were chatting with a boy. While both were surprised to learn the truth, they still became friends.

Io treasures her friendship with Uta. She respects and admires her and calls her the sole reason she is still alive. Io sticks with her most of the time unless she does or demands something that she doesn't like, which is seen during the first dorm war where she tried to avoid her until it’s over. She’s the only girl she wouldn’t mind Sensei being close with, wishing that they could have a shared relationship where Uta could take over the physical side while both can enjoy the romantic side, though she doesn’t see this happen as she thinks that Uta doesn’t see him this way.

Io is also one of two non-related person, the other being Sensei as of Uta-chan, who knows of her infamous past and despises those that still manage to find pieces of it and torment her with it.
