Haruno teasing Hachiman and Yukino as a couple

She is the younger sister of Haruno. While Yukino holds strong animosity towards her, Haruno sees her sister who's constantly trying to overtake her as cute. She often meddles in Yukino's life, in either to help her grow or get something she wants. She enjoys poking fun at Yukino and even goes to the extent of using sarcasm and "sweet" behavior to go aggravate her. Yukino plainly resents her for her ways even though she admits that Haruno is a "perfect woman".

However, Haruno cares about Yukino in her own way. Despite putting on a cold face in front of Yukino, she sometimes almost breaks to the point where she shows that she is actually regretful for making things end up in a way where Yukino thinks of her as someone who poses a challenge to her own life. But their relationships in the past,before the start of the series are yet to be revealed.

Haruno can see the kind-hearted motherly nature of Shizuka and can predict her motives, as she was able to see the reason behind Hachiman's participation in Cultural committee.

Haruno teasing Hachiman

According to Hayama's observation, Haruno seems to be fond of him, as she always meddles with him. She seems to like pairing up Hachiman and Yukino even trying to get Yui Yuigahama to back off, suggesting she believes they would make a good couple, with them denying such a possibility. She constantly addresses Hachiman as her future "brother-in-law", to the annoyance of the latter. For that reason, she tries to get him to call her "big sis" only for him to call her by her last name as she notes he is stubborn.

Hachiman is one of the few people to see through her façade. She acknowledges Hachiman's perceptiveness and often playfully teases him. While Hachiman is put off by her since he doesn't know much about her. In her eyes, Hachiman is the first male outside her family circle to get close to Yukino. Hachiman compares her to his own sister in regards to her meddling behavior but does nothing to stop her since she is looking out for her sister.

It is not clear whether Haruno is truly supporting the budding relationship of her sister or doing it for fun. But there are instance of her getting cold to Yui for getting close to Hachiman instead of Yukino .

It was later revealed that she also knows about the car accident that involved Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino. She lets this slip as she thought Yukino told Hachiman though she quickly excuses her sister from any wrong doing but Hachiman tells her it was alright. After the Culture Festival, she congratulated Hachiman for his bravery during the confrontation with Sagami, and admired him for it. Haruno calls Hachiman a "Monster Of Logic" because of his critical analyzing of people's behavior.

Haruno also sets-up Hachiman and Hayato on a double date with Kaori Orimoto and her friend. For her to know of Hayato's intention of involving Hachiman and also because of seeing things to be amusing.

The second time they met was at the Fireworks Festival. After hearing that Yui is Yukino's best friend, Haruno advises her not to leave Yukino like her previous peers, to which Yui replies seriously that she won't abandon Yukino and loves her as a friend.

Haruno also expresses her concern that if Hachiman were to choose Yui, Yukino would "lose out" again, not explaining properly.

Iroha Isshiki

Iroha made her acquaintance during the pre-valentines day event (in the anime). Iroha tried to appeal to Haruno which Haruno sees through.

Others

Komachi Hikigaya

Shown neither on-screen nor in the light novel, it was mentioned they sometimes meet or exchange messages. It was shown that they exchanged contacts with each other as a way for Haruno to keep in touch with Hachiman. It was also mentioned in the light novel that they exchanged their contacts during the Cultural Festival of Soubu High. Haruno also wishes to have Komachi as her sister. Both of them seem enjoy pressuring their siblings into relationships.

The only time they were shown together was during the time the Service Club members returned from the Chiba village, where Haruno was waiting to take Yukino home to their mom in Episode 8 of Season 1.

Haruno meets Kaori for the first time.

Haruno made their acquaintance at a cafe with Hachiman. Kaori misunderstood Haruno to be Hachiman's girlfriend but after realizing the truth, Kaori stated her opinion that Haruno is out of Hachiman's league.

Haruno also learned about Hachiman's past and confession to Kaori from her. Haruno also introduced Hayato to the girls. She indirectly set the stage for the double date and followed them without their knowledge throughout their date, as she felt that things were amusing. Haruno also wondered about Yukino's reaction, if she learned about Hachiman's confession to Kaori.

Not much interaction evolved between them after the date, even though Both Kaori and Haruno were present at the Pre-valentine event, it may be due to awkwardness in Kaori part to approach Hayato's acquaintance while Haruno may have lost interest in Kaori and ignored her.

However when Kaori promise to give valentine obligatory chocolate for Hachiman, it triggered a set of reaction from their peers which attracted Haruno's interest and she sets off another triggering information.
