Misaki/Relationships

Yako
Misaki and Yako met when Yako was still a child, she was very lonely and Misaki had taken up teaching her how to write, read, and educating her in general, as he was a teacher. At first, Yako seemed to be wary of those around her, even Misaki, evidenced by her ominous sentence writing in her journal, threatening students, and hatefully writing about Misaki. Soon enough, however, Yako began developed feelings for Misaki and cared for him deeply. He was the first person to see and acknowledge her (he was also the one to give her the scissors which are her yorishiro). When it was time for his class to take a class photo, he intentionally shot it where Yako resided. He considered her to be a student of his, just as he did with his human students. Misaki patted the Inari statue and said to Yako "You too."

Nagisa
Misaki shares an uncanny resemblance to Nagisa, who was the homeroom teacher for Class 1-A. However, although the two look similarly alike as said by Tsuchigomori and Yako in the spin-off, Nagisa presently does not share any memories or affiliations with Supernaturals aside from getting into widespread incidents (eg. Mokke of the Dead).
