With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we’ve got love on our minds! Some of the tastiest valentine’s treats in Japan involve not only chocolate, but lots of fresh strawberry flavor as well! We can’t help but wonder what makes the perfect strawberry pairing.
In fact, the Japanese word for strawberry, ichigo (いちご) happens to be a very popular name in the realm of anime and manga – and of course – behind every great hero is a strong partner. So in the spirit of #cupidsgift, let’s take a look at some of the strongest Ichigo relationships in anime and manga!
His most striking feature (if you look past his massive, demon-slaying sword), is his bright red hair, which more than lives up to his name! Although many die hard
Do Ichigo And Orihime End Up Together In Bleach?
Fans argue that the cool, calm, and collected Rukia Kuchiki was the perfect match for Ichigo, in the end, it was Orihime Inoue – the series’ second most famous red head – that stole his heart. (Coincidence? I think not).
All doubts of their relationship aside, in the end, their love for each other was stronger than life and death itself! When Inoue was kidnapped by the villainous demon Arrancar, Ichigo fought to his death in order to save her, but hearing her cry his name in terror was enough to bring Ichigo back from the brink of death and slay her abductor. By the time
Tells the story of Ichigo Amano, a typical 14 year old girl who loves nothing more than eating sweets. Although she feels that she has no real talent, Ichigo finds herself attending an elite culinary school, in order to achieve her dream of becoming a pastry chef!
Orihime And Ichigo Was The Obvious Pairing The Whole Manga
We can all use a little encouragement in times of doubt, and for Ichigo, that’s where Makoto Kahino, the “Sweet Prince”, comes in. Unlike the sharp, sometimes sour relationship of our red-headed power-couple from
, this pair could be likened to something more like a soft and sweet Strawberry Daifuku KitKat. A perfect match made in heaven, yum!
Although their feelings for each other aren’t immediately obvious, the seeds of love between the two are sown throughout the series, like when they share a dance on Valentine’s Day in episode 19!
What Is The Relationship Between Ichigo And Inoue?
As the first season wraps up, the budding couple make a promise that they will express their true feelings for each other only after they have achieved their goals. At the conclusion of the series, a time skip occurs, and we see the two living happily ever after in Paris, working together in their very own sweets shop.
This relationship stands out because it proves that sometimes a perfect match isn’t obvious – sometimes a little courage is required to make things work. At first, Chihiro’s over-the-top, cocky personality doesn’t mesh well with Ichigo’s shy, quiet demeanor. However, as the series goes on, their feelings for each other evolve into a loving, supportive relationship. After three years of going steady, Ichigo still blushes like a strawberry every time she shares a kiss with Chihiro.
Although their personalities may not be the most obvious of pairings – when they come together, they really have a way of growing on you. In the end, it just works!

Ichigo and Orihime had mutual romantic feelings for each other in the bleach prototype, Kubo’s original plan for bleach. Here’s a post on it.
–If you really, truly want to argue that Ichigo and Orihime “barely had any moments!” luckily, I was insane enough to create a masterpost with links to every single IH moment in the manga (which had to be split in half because it literally broke due to having too many links on it). Part One is here, Part Two is here. It has over 377 links. Say what you will, but IchiHime has the most moments and screentime of any other pairing by a landslide.

–The amount of focus that was put on Ichigo’s desire to protect Orihime specifically is MASSIVE. It was made more than apparent how much Ichigo cared about Orihime and how important she was to him, by the level of focus that was put on Ichigo’s protectiveness over her, specifically. It’s something that singled her out as special and set her apart from the others, time and time again. It was consistently emphasized in the manga, and, conversely, so too was Orihime’s desire to protect Ichigo specifically. Their mutual desires to protect each other was a recurring theme. I’ve made a masterpost on this too, which you can find here. Warning, it’s long.
–Ichigo is open and receptive to Orihime’s displays of her feelings for him in positive ways. The fact that she cares about him so much doesn’t bother him in the slightest. In fact, he likes it.Here’s another link.
The amount of times Ichigo has been teased about Orihime is yet another dead-giveaway of his feelings. He gets it from his family:
Ichigo & Orihime
Note that his family mentioned two other girls (Tatsuki and Rukia) first, but Ichigo isn’t shown sweating/panicking + throwing the door open demanding they shut up until Orihime is mentioned. She was the catalyst. Touchy subject, eh Ichigo?
How sweet.That is a LOADED comment. The implication behind it is evident. Enemies just love to tease the hero about how protective he is over a certain special someone.
There seems to be a pattern here—the implication being that Ichigo likely has taken an interest in Orihime/sees her in a romantic light, but is being told (and perhaps believes to be true) that he doesn’t stand a chance, because she is “out of his league.” That’s 3 times now that Kubo has teased at that very implication.

This is a clever writing tactic, because while Ichigo is being told that he doesn’t stand a chance with her, the reader knows that he’s actually the only one who does stand a chance with Orihime, because (unbeknownst to him) he has her heart.
When a shounen protagonist is consistently teased about a girl, that’s one of the biggest giveaways that he has feelings for her. The author is essentially teasing at his feelings—Especially when his reaction to the teasing is to get embarrassed/flustered (just like Ichigo does!)—confirming the suspicions even more. Teasing is especially ideal for a shounen as it hints at romantic feelings and effectively gets the point across, while still keeping things light, comical, and less shoujo-esque.
Kubo treats Ichigo’s feelings for Orihime as a running joke/recurring theme that he seems to enjoy poking fun at and teasing him about. Here’s yet another instance:

Furthermore, one of Ichigo’s biggest mentors (Urahara) created an outfit for Orihime specifically to tease Ichigo specifically.Just think about that for a second: Urahara…went out of his way…to tease Ichigo…about Orihime. No one else, just Orihime, and just Ichigo. Just the two of them. Ichigo and Orihime. Does that seem indicative of anything to you? It should.
Urahara obviously suspected Ichigo had feelings for Orihime, and went out of his wayto tease him about it. Otherwise, why not create it to tease Chad, or any other boy with a pulse for that matter? Why just Ichigo? How did Urahara know it would affect him specifically? And if you were to argue that it’s only because Orihime has feelings for Ichigo and had nothing to do with Ichigo’s feelings, that still wouldn’texplain why Ichigo himself is the ONLY character to have such an extreme reaction to Orihime’s clothes if he didn’t actually
