<p data-rte-fromparser="true">While not knowing each other in personal level, Hiramaru feels a mutual bonding with him during the Aoki's incident. After fighting Nakai (and easily lost) and arguing, he admitted that he understand Nakai's fears and depression, comparing it similar to his own. Hiramaru commented that given a different circumstance, he might ended up following the same dark path as Nakai or worse. He asked Nakai to be his assistant over this 'bonding', which touched Nakai enough to agree and try to redeem himself. Later on they work together as mangaka and assistant, becoming good enough friends till the end of Bakuman.
