And even after she learns as such, she often ignores Kanako's advice to just let it go since she's already popular at school, and goes to great lengths to get Mitsuki to like her.
Added DiffLines:
** While it's largely motivated by her firm stance on romance having no place in the work place and she eventually resorts to {{Blackmail}} for the sake of it, she's not wrong to [[ShippingTorpedo oppose Kanako's feelings for Hime]]; not only is Kanako's obsession extremely unhealthy, due to Hime effectively being a LivingEmotionalCrutch to Kanako and a major cause for overreactions on her end, but the lengths she'll go to try and assert herself as Hime's OnlyFriend border on {{Yandere}}ish, such as wanting to abolish the schwestern system simply because she doesn't like seeing Hime and Mitsuki getting along, with no regard on how it affect Hime or the state of the cafe.
Added DiffLines:
* LovingAShadow: {{Implied}}. Kanako is very secure in her status as Hime's close friend and in the idea that Hime won't truly fall in love with anyone else, so when Hime gets increasingly close to Mitsuki and as a result starts undergoing CharacterDevelopment, she becomes deadset on driving a wedge between them, such as trying to abolish the schwestern system by supporting Sumika in becoming blume, reasoning that it'll make Hime "go back to normal".
