HiroManager

Hiromi x Manager is the het ship between Hiromi Higa and the Florist Shop Manager from the SK8 the Infinity fandom.

Canon
We get to see Hiromi's relationship with his manager for the first time in episode 4, where both are seen working in a florist shop. The manager apologizes to Hiromi in advance for keeping him working late, but Hiromi reassures her by saying that he would worry about her if he had left her doing all by herself late at night, and the manager smiles to him saying that she feels safe being with him, and this comment made Hiromi blush as he said that if she was fine with him, then he would be anytime there with her.

Hiromi then leaves the Shop in excitement to then heading to his car, but he suddenly meets with Langa, Reki, and Miya, begging Hiromi for bringing them to Crazy Rock but he was hesitating at it while he complained in high voice to them. A moment later, the manager peeks outside and asks Hiromi if something was wrong (while he was discussing with the other kids inside the vehicle), and Hiromi assured her that everything was fine. Back to the scene, Langa and Reki begged Hiromi once more while Miya threated Hiromi on telling the "woman" about the situation then a moment later Hiromi drives the three kids to the accorded place, probably because of Miya's threatening message.

In episode 5, when Shadow and the other three guys arrived to Joe's restaurant, he looks around impressed while saying in low voice "Someday, the manager...", implying that he could mean that the manager would be impressed if she saw the elegant restaurant too.

In the beach scene, exactly in episode 6, Hiromi is set as the " teacher chaperone" of the group according to Joe, while Hiromi complains about his title gaven and saying that there wasn't anything he could do, since a time ago his manager had asked Hiromi to go with Reki, Langa, and Miya, since a trip with "only kids" would be dangerous and she wanted to make sure that an adult could be with them. Hiromi is seen shock while the three guys were clinging onto them with "baby" faces in a way for begging the manager to bring Hiromi with them.

In episode 7, the manager apologizes again like the past time for leaving Hiromi the whole shop for a bit, as he reassured her again that it was fine. The manager then tells Hiromi that she knew that he could be able to handle the work fine, and then Hiromi blushes at her comment. He then confesses to his manager that he had found a new place for training and that he was going there for a time, and since she liked strong people, Hiromi says that he had already became a strong man and he would prove it to her. Hiromi is seen assigning himself to the tournament that Adam had prepared for the skaters from "S" from his phone.

In episode 10, both are seen hanging out in a parking lot as Hiromi chats along with her while the manager praised him about taking care of carrying big things, as Hiromi thanks her saying that he was glad on helping her. But then, someone attempts on attacking the manager from behind with a metal bat that was going directly to her head, but then Hiromi protects the manager from the attack, while she was begging Hiromi on keeping himself, but after the person finished complaining angrily to Hiromi about his situation, he knocks him out with a second hit, making Hiromi finally feel unconscious.
