Touka also possesses more raw power than Hime, but with her consistent training, Hime is clearly the better fighter. Despite being Kyousuke's original motivation to become stronger, Touka is less closer to Kyousuke than he is with Hime. Finally, while both are potential love interests for Akina, Hime's feelings look more genuine as opposed to Touka's borderline infatuation. Their contrast is even reflected in their respective motifs--both peaches and cherry blossoms have similar flowers.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the 2008 anime, Akina is more uncertain as to how he should go about protecting the town as the Oyakume and dealing with the various burdens that come with it. While he's still outgoing and somewhat relaxed, the 2008 adaptation focuses on the stress of inheriting such a dangerous responsibility as opposed to his manga counterpart's slow, but steady acceptance of it in order to benefit others in ways his predecessors didn't. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as the 2008 anime changes or lacks details the manga had or added later on, which would make his personality natural, given the context of the adaptation.
** The 2008 anime doesn't give Akina the option of tuning someone without sending them straight to the Otherworld, making his situation much more grave.
** His first exposure to tuning is also changed dramatically and would justify his different approach in the different mediums. In the manga, Akina simply looks on as Machi is tuned, with the latter [[GoOutWithASmile smiling until she disappears completely]]. In the anime? He's held back as he's shouting at his grandfather to spare a small, lizard demon that is tied down to a post and struggling to break free. Makiharu solemnly insists that this duty is something that he will eventually inherit, and proceeds to tune the demon, leaving a charred black corpse where the demon used to be.

* CombatPragmatist: In contrast to Hime's and Kyousuke's brute force and Kotoha's unpredictability, Akina is capable of coming up with effective strategies on the spot when he's given the opportunity. Best exemplified during the "Oni Tale" arc. [[spoiler: He doesn't hesitate in trying to tune Iruka while she's distracted, [[NoSell even though it doesn't quite stick]]. He also suggests having Hime and Kotoha switch places when they're fighting Murasaki and Iruka respectively to even out the advantages the latter two had over them. He's clearly guilty about this instance, as he knows Touka wouldn't take Hime seemingly abandoning her well.]]
