Akeno Himejima/Relationships

Issei Hyoudou
Akeno is madly in love with Issei but she cannot take him as her official boyfriend because he loves Rias. Akeno cares a great deal for Rias and does not want to destroy her relationship with Issei, even claiming that she will be Issei's mistress. She becomes a rival for his affections in Volume 3 and later falls in love with him completely in Volume 4 of the light novels. Her feelings for him continue to grow stronger as the series progresses, especially in Volume 7 after Issei relays her true feelings to her father. She loves Issei as much as Rias and needs him as much as she does, which was shown after Issei died in Volume 11, becoming devastated and severely depressed as much as Rias was, and thus becoming thrilled when she found out that he was alive. In the short story "Let's go to Onsen", when it appeared that Grayfia was attempting to seduce Issei, instead of becoming mad with jealously, Akeno instead reverted to the catatonic depressed state.

Rias Gremory
Akeno is Rias' first peerage member and one of her closest friends. Akeno is, in fact, close enough to call Rias by her first name in private while maintaining their master-servant relationship. After moving into the Hyoudou Residence, Akeno starts to call Rias by her first name when in the house and the two constantly get into a bicker (such as pillow fights) to see who gets to accompany Issei. Despite so, the two of them care greatly for one another.

Asia Argento
Akeno cares for Asia like her own little sister. Asia also respects Akeno despite being love rivals for Issei's affection.

Azazel
Akeno, initially didn't get along well with Azazel who is a Fallen Angel like her father. Azazel, on the other hand, cares a lot for Akeno since she is the daughter of his good friend Baraqiel and treats Akeno like his own daughter. After Akeno reconciles with her father, Akeno and Azazel's relationship also improves over time. In Volume 12, Azazel gave Akeno bracelets that brings out her fallen angel potential, which she used to overpower the Khaos Brigade.

Baraqiel
Baraqiel is Akeno's father. As a young child, it is suggested that the two were close, but that changed with the death of her mother, Shuri Himejima. Akeno blamed her father (later acknowledging it was more to have someone to blame for her own sanity) creating an estrangement between the two that lasted for several years. It wasn't until the pair met again in Volume 7, and with the support of Issei, that Akeno and her father were reunited. Baraqiel later trained Akeno in using her Holy Lightning. The two of them then become very close such as at the armagedon sports day when Baraqiel help Akeno  out when she asks him.

Sirzechs Lucifer
Akeno has great respect towards Sirzechs as one of the leaders of the Devils as well as Rias' older brother. Sirzechs is shown to treat Akeno like his own sister, taking care of her well-being.

Grayfia Lucifuge
Akeno has been shown to have great respect for Grayfia, and is also a fan of the love story of Grayfia and Sirzechs.

Millicas Gremory
Akeno is shown to be close enough with Millicas to call him "Millicas-kun". Millicas also treats Akeno like his own sister calling her "Akeno-neesama".

Shuri Himejima
Akeno is very close with her mother and loves her mother dearly, as such the events of her death left a huge scar in her heart, resulting in her hatred towards her father.

Sona Sitri
Akeno and Sona are shown to be good friends in real life, calling each other by their first name when in private. and when the go shoping together.
