Sakurako considers herself a hard-worker when it comes to love. She always tries her best to stay trendy and amiable in front of men whom she has a crush on. She is attracted by pretty guys (like Kouhei and Naomi).

Then the two start a series of mutual bullying, where Iori is often on the receiving end. Their relationship at work is like that of master and slave.
