Despite being best friends, Io and Uta couldn't be any more different. In stark contrast to the social butterfly Uta, Io finds other people - especially other girls - uncomfortable and weird. Beneath her antisocial exterior, however, lies an incredible talent for craftsmanship.— Official Lessons in Love website
Io Ichimonji is part of the Main Cast of in Lessons In Love. Io was the 14th girl to join Sensei's class, doing so in v.0.12.0p2. She lives in Room 7 with Uta Ushibori.

Little is known about Io’s past. She presumably was born and raised in Kumon-mi and currently lives in the Bathhouse her aunt owns for unknown reasons. Around eight years before the start of the game, she was diagnosed with a number of mental illnesses, being given a variety of pills and medicine to deal with them. By her own account, she can't remember which illnesses she's even being treated for, outside of her anxiety.
At one point, she met Uta in an online forum, though both thought each other was a boy before they met in person, yet still became best friends in the end. Like her, she attended Kumon-mi Academy until it was swallowed during Fireworks, Chicken, and the Innate Fear of Death. When she was migrated to Kumon-mi High, she became a student in Wakana’s class until Uta convinced Sensei to let her transfer into his, being the first who joined Sensei’s class after the migration process.
Characteristics
Io is an anti-social girl, though unlike Sana it’s not a result of shyness. Her communication skills are fine, having no problem holding a conversation or speaking her mind, simply lacking an interest in socialization with other people.
She can be nice and sociable, but she shows this side only to the small group of people she likes, I.e, Uta, Yuki and Sensei. If she has to talk to anyone else, her attitude depends on the person. If she has no negative opinion of them, she speaks normally with them, if she doesn’t like someone because she sees them as annoying or knows that they’re close with Sensei, she’s dismissive, passive-aggressive and blunt with her dislike of them. She also has the tendency to pre-emptively judge people, despite knowing little to nothing about them.
Despite being rather confident in her interactions, she can easily become a nervous wreck due to her mental state. This mostly happens when Sensei is involved as seen in One Man's Trash where she lost confidence in her crafted toy when Kirin called it trash, and whenever she witnesses him being close with other girls like in In Some Cases, Love and Walking on Eggshells. She also has a low opinion of herself, to the point where self-deprecation is common in all conversations with her.
