Takumi and Kusaka, name a more iconic duo.

For reals tho, Shinji and Ren (kinda surprised no one's mentioned it yet!). Such a classic combination of two very common character tropes, but the development of their relationship and the actors' performances really made it for me. They're so iconic together, practically any Ryuki-related media climaxes on their "now it's my turn to die for u bro" moment.

Bromance has always been one of the strongest points in KR shows in general I feel, I have difficulty recalling the ones that failed to resonate with me at least a little (maybe Adachi and Kiriya from Hibiki... but yeah... circumstances...). I agree too with Haruto and Niito from Wizard being underrated pairing, even if I'm not too enamored with the show itself. Not the most memorable and didn't have as much dramatic scenes, but they complement each other well in more subtle way.

Well they were never "buddy buddy let's hang out together" but the outcome of the story and what they faced/did for each other. man...

Yeah, kinda felt there's not enough build-up for them (still found that final scene absolutely heart-wrenching, mind.) I'd be eager to rewatch the show sometime and look more closely at how their relationship develops.
