Rias Gremory/Relationships

Issei Hyoudou
Issei became Rias' boyfriend after he confesses his love for her in Volume 10 of the light novels. He took some time to do this because he was still traumatized from the incident with Raynare, which was affecting his relationships with all the girls. Rias' mother gave him permission to start a harem so that all the girls would be happy because they weren't going to give up just because he is in love with Rias.

Rias has a lot of affection towards Issei from the start of the series, which seemed to have grown as the series progressed. This is highly attributed to the Gremory's tendency to have close relations with their servants as compared to other clans. Rias doesn't seem to mind allowing Issei to gaze on her naked body. Following the events of Volume 2, she attempts to keep him away from the other girls who may have affections for him. This includes Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, Koneko, Irina, and Ravel.

Akeno and Rias are bitterly fighting each other over Issei's love and she is considered her biggest rival. Despite so, the two of them care greatly for one another.

Yuuto Kiba

Koneko Toujou
She cares a lot for Koneko since she was one of her earliest servants, but is considered her love rival since Koneko is truly in love with Issei.

She is jealous of Issei because he was able to help Rias overcome many of her problems that she wanted to help Rias out with, but because of her position as a High-Class Devil, she didn't have the time to help her out and yet, Issei did it so easily for her.

His love for her was so great that he took secret pictures of Rias sleeping when she was a child. Sirzechs would cry in tears when he watches videos of Rias in her childhood.
