Growth
Eto Koki - Makoto has verbally said that he hates Koki. Koki was obviously shaken by it because he has never been told that he was hated. Though Makoto considers Koki a rival back when they were in the same agency, it was a one-sided rivalry for Koki who was oblivious to what Makoto was trying to do. However, as the series progressed, they've now acknowledged each other as rivals and have started respecting each other's career decisions.

Yaegashi Kensuke - Though Kensuke noticeably bears dislike towards Makoto, he's not very vocal about it. He does show concern when Makoto tells Koki that he hates him.
