The thing, to me, that’s best about Isshiki is that she is, for Hachiman, a perfect combination of playful and serious. By one measure, she’s always completely honest with Hachiman, but her honesty is buried under a layer of playful banter and teasing, which actually makes it easier for Hachiman to deal with.
She’s much like Komachi in that respect, and it’s not a coincidence that Isshiki’s and Komachi’s eventual meeting is epic - they instantly recognize each other as kindred spirits.
