What is the とは in the below sentence? I was thinking that it could be
something like 彼とは相性がいい but because he says 俺たち afterwards this doesn't sound
right.

> 以前翔も言っていたが、打てば響くを地で行く可憐 **とは** 、本当に俺たち相性がいいのかもしれない

question
meaning
What usage of とは is this?
Yes it's part of (～は)～と相性がいい. This とは is と meaning "with" followed by は, the
topic/contrast marker.

  * 俺たち(は)可憐と相性がいい。  
We get along well with Karen.

  * 俺たち(は)可憐とは相性がいい。 (added は)
  * 可憐とは俺たち(は)相性がいい。 (changed word order)

(So this clause has two は-marked arguments. This normally means one of them is
contrastive, but in this case I feel almost no contrastive nuance in 可憐とは. I
personally feel "double-topic" sentences like this can exist, but I may be
wrong.)
