Editing Emi Ibarazaki (section)

== Relationships ==
=== Family ===
Emi is on good terms with her mother [[Meiko Ibarazaki]]; visiting home from Yamaku Academy with some regularity. It seems that Emi takes after her somewhat, with her matter-of-fact, no-buts approach to life. Not much is known about her deceased father, other than him being a runner, inspiring Emi to take up the sport in his honor.

=== Students ===

An unlikely combination, [[Rin Tezuka]] and Emi are best friends, despite Emi's insistence that Rin should do more sports and Rin's reciprocal disdain of Emi's 'horsing around'. In any case, they are supportive of each other, with Rin attending track meets and Emi helping out with Rin's mural. As the housing department thought that they'd 'complement each other' (that is, they have access to all limbs between them), they live across the hall from each other, where they presumably originally met.

Emi is additionally a member of the [[track team]], and so relatively close with the [[Track Team Captain|track team captain]] and other teammates. She had a crush on the track team captain before finding out he was gay. Besides this, she appears to be on reasonable terms with [[Lilly Satou]] and [[Misha]], and neutral with [[Shizune Hakamichi]] and [[Hanako Ikezawa]].

=== Staff ===
Emi has known the [[Nurse]] for years, and so he fulfills more of the role of an uncle than that of a member of the Yamaku staff. She visits his office every morning after running practice for a checkup on her prostheses and a general chat; he is privy to at least parts of her private life as well as her medical needs.
