Determined to join JAKDF to fight what killed his family (ch 101), but... who knows how much less driven he'd be if he didn't meet Kafka and Iharu — the two people he's come to hold dear in his ardent heart.
(ch 22) Look how hype Iharu is for Kafka. They were probably the loudest there.
(ch 67) When you have Reno and Iharu in your life, you have everything. From a devoted partner who keeps things level-headed to a ball of sunshine who'll knock reason into your head with loving honesty.
Kafka needs both of them, really.
(ch 129)
The suns to Reno's life & Reno's favorite people, and two wise "goofs" to each other. While Reno brings quiet care.
Canon didn't give us much of them as a trio. It's a duo-based manga, so duh. But their chemistry is great; lots of fun. The OT3. In a more laid-back genre they'd have plenty awesome moments. Meanwhile, in canon we have e.g. ch 11.
Speaking of laid-back genres, there's that camping ch in "Relax". Non-canon kn8 official content could definitely do better in terms of the amount of content Iharu gets. That ch also distorts him a bit, e.g. he doesn't seem like an irresponsible type at all (Kafka and especially Reno are more in-character though). Still, if one wants a comedic AU version of them, it's a fun one.
