does yamako really ship lipxlip 😃
It's never been outright stated, but:
When Hanipre was still alive, she would accept friend requests to people maining lipxlip. Apparently, especially if they had "aiyuu" in their bio. This has been noted by other people, not me, as I couldn't have hanipre until the final week...when I got a new phone.
She follows some aiyuu artists (biggest example is Touka- who was primarily an aiyuu artist. Now she's an official Honeyworks illustrator)
She's said in the past that she has private comics about them (shared w Moge, I believe?)
She fought tooth and nail to get the kiss marks placed here. According to her fanbox, she asked Shito if it looked good but he was unsure about the placements, but she refused to put them anywhere else.
From the get-go, we know that she's basically outright told us that Aizou and Yujiro do each others kiss marks. I don't mean from the MVM outright showing us Aizou and Yujiro kissing each others necks, or them going "secret ;)" when Uchida asks them how they got them. Look at this art she drew.
Tumblr media
Not to mention in just about every MV that Yamako has drawn of them (which is almost all of them except a few), she always ends up drawing them with suspicious poses.
Bonus: From the get-go, Yamako wanted to put Hiyori with a childhood friend, so she never meant for Hiyori to be shipped so much with Aizou and/or Yujiro. She states this I think it was in the LisAni..?? (The part about her wanting Hiyori to be with a childhood friend from the start romantically, I mean, not the last bit) It just took her a really long time to design Nagisa because she felt as though she couldn't grasp him very well. Not to mention, due to other projects, Nagisa kept getting pushed back until 2021.
So...does she ship lipxlip??? We can definitely make inferences on it, but she seems super hyped about Yume Fanfare being for the two and knew what she was doing when she drew Samishigariya so...I assume so, yes.
If not, then she is just very invested in these two.
