Are Honoka Nishimura And Taiju Shiratori From Is She The Wolf Still Together?
Both Taiju Shiratori and Honoka Nishimura have not yet disclosed any updates on their romantic relationship.
On the day they first met, Taiju and Honoka’s friendship began to grow. The former decided to deliver his fragrance to Honoka right away after the duty was given to the male cast members, something that pleasantly surprised many because he had to leave the next day to get ready for his forthcoming kickboxing battle. Honoka even paid Taiju a visit once when he was still in the gym with Masaki Nakao to wish him luck in his fight.
Honoka, regrettably, was unable to attend Taiju’s match that day. Sakurako Okubo and Gabby, who had also begun to feel a connection to the kickboxer, accompanied Masaki as they watched the game. Taiju and Honoka joined the other cast members to congratulate the former on winning after the match. However, Honoka became irritated when she observed Taiju talking to many girls one at a time and began interacting with Tomoki Yonemura.
Honoka actually selected Taiju, Tomoki, and Gabby to go with her to the venue of the photo session. Taiju, however, realized that she might be interested in Tomoki when she asked Gabby and Taiju to take pictures while spending time with Tomoki. However, Tomoki didn’t seem to be interested in pursuing a relationship with Honoka after a candid discussion between the two men. Gabby, meantime, struggled between her affection for Taiju and the possibility of ruining his relationship with Honoka.
Both Gabby and Honoka decided on Taiju during the midseason confessional. Later, Gabby spoke to Honoka and assured her that she would pursue the kickboxer despite her commitment to following her heart. However, she did not want to do so at the expense of jeopardizing her relationship with Honoka. The two spent a lot of quality time together when Gabby utilized the MOON line to ask Taiju out on a private date, and it appeared as though Taiju’s focus was beginning to change in Gabby’s direction.
Soon after, Gabby requested Taiju’s company for her photo shoot in Hokkaido, Japan. Taiju made it clear to Gabby when the assignment was finished that his affection was exclusively reserved for Honoka, a fact that she seemed to be aware of but could control from upsetting her. Indeed, Taiju’s relationship with Honoka grew stronger when he got back from Hokkaido. Honoka utilized the MOON line to request a private date with Taiju as the big confession got closer, and he agreed.
However, Taiju made the decision to use the MOON line to arrange a meeting with Gabby. The two had a great time together, and Taiju was grateful for Gabby’s love and care as well as sorry that she had been harmed by the circumstances. Taiju selected Honoka as his partner for the final confessional, and he was certainly relieved that she wasn’t a wolf and that she felt the same way about him.
