Season One
When Kurusu first joined the koto club she had bad intentions, she wanted to ruin the Koto club's friendship after seeing them having genuine fun on the stage, But her plan backfired and instead made their friendship stronger, she felt jealousy cause she believes she could never have that. She then openly admits everything and threw rude remarks to Kurata, and ran with tears in her eyes which he has saw. So, he asked her the next day about why she was crying when she was the one who tried to ruin their friendship and he said he would hear her out cause he clearly sees that she has a reason for what she did which brings her quite a shock but she ended up just running away. But then other members of the Koto club showed her kindness which made her apologize for her actions after doing so she became an official Koto club member. She sees Kurata in her class who seems to have a lot on his mind and she says out aloud that he's hard working, him thinking she's trying to be sarcastic got a little mad but then she said she's just 'jealous' because he's actual serious about what he's doing when she has never been serious about anything and then he says "why not get serious about the Koto club" again bringing her quite a surprise to hear him say that but then he ruins the atmosphere by saying "I mean.. we're aiming for nationals, so if you don't get serious it will be a problem."

During their visit at Meiryo High Kurata ended up meeting his old friends who just made rude remarks after finding out he's in the Koto club but Kuruta just laughed it off which made Kudo pissed and they got into an argument which makes Kurusu notice that Kurata has a lot to deal with as the club's president, so later on she decides she's gonna become the club's vice president to help him out to deal with those problems. She tells him that she decided to become the club's vice president by coming to visit him at his house and tells him he doesn't have to deal with everything and that she will become the club's vice president and then kurata starts feeling down because he thinks he's being unreliable to the point where she had to become vice president and says he doesn't want to put the burden on her. Kurusu cups his cheeks and says "look at me properly. carrying it all on your own and moping around like you are is way more of a burden. The club's become gloomy and the atmosphere is bad, don't you see that!?" and she said more words to help comfort him and says she wanted to join the Koto club was because she saw "a group of people with seemingly no common ground, supporting each other by compensating for what others lacked." but then he calls her out about the real reason she joined which makes her flustered and she said for him to shut up and that she'll hear him out and then runs out of his room cause she's super flustered. After she leaves, Kurata heads to the dining room for dinner where his dad asks if that was his girlfriend that came today which makes kurata shocked to hear that and he denies it.

Fanon
Kururata is the 2nd most known and loved ship, it was started because both characters have openly admitted to themselves in their thoughts that they like each other and their bond can be seen as very deep because Kurata knows about her backstory and a lot about each other.
