Valentines Day with the Free! Boys 🌹
𝙆𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙖 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙮𝙖 🍰꒷︶꒦
Natsuya is a gentleman(child).
He crushes on you every time he's with you. It's like highschool all over again.
He's very romantic. Will write you a love letter, and put his favorite picture of you two in it. Takes you to an amusement park and gets you cute plushies from the claw machines. (Not to mention how you two share a cotton candy, it’s so freaking cute >_<)
He's so soft with you. Always holding your hand. You're very playful with Natsuya, so when you boop his nose with yours he just gets so flustered and melts internally, even though he's a grown man.
Gifts you a mixtape with all the songs he dedicates to you. (And the songs that reminds him of you.) Man's is just smitten for you.
“Gosh.. why’d you have to be so cute” Natsuya mumbles under his breath as he watches you play an arcade game.
𝙍𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙤𝙠𝙖 🦈꒷︶꒦
Soft loverboi.
He might look tough, but for you he's so soft.
Would get you small little gifts which remind him of you, because you're adorable.
Would probably take you for a long drive.
He's a pretty chill guy but gives you the princess treatment.
“You always look beautiful baby.” Rin says and kisses your head.
𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙪𝙠𝙚 𝙔𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙖𝙠𝙞 🧸꒷︶꒦
The stoic (but loving) man.
Shows he doesn't care much about Valentine's Day, but internally he's panicking about what to get you, where to take you.
He takes you for a picnic. A cute afternoon picnic.
And all the food is made by Sousuke. He makes all your favorite dishes and snacks.
Also gets you a cute hair accessory 'cause he loves your hair and loves to play with it.
Sousuke hums softly as he plays with your hair. Your head on his lap. “Hm? No, I'm not-… blushing....” He pouts (Because he is!!)
𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙤𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙖 🎐꒷︶꒦
Malewife incoming.
This man, is so sweet. He would give you a love letter telling how much he loves you and what he appreciates about you.
Would take you to a cute cat cafe. (Because he loves cats so much and ofc you.)
Would buy you your favorite flowers.
He gets so shy when you hold hands. He loves your soft hands.
You stand on your tip toes and kiss Makoto's forehead as he leans down a little. “H-Huh..I-...” Poor baby was at a loss for words.
“-love you too.”
𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙪𝙠𝙖 𝙉𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙨𝙚 🐬꒷︶꒦
The dense but cute one.
Now Haru might be dense in most (romantic) cases but he knows about Valentine's Day and what's it about.
He makes mackerel for you :> (Please eat it even if you don't like it poor man made it with love.)
Sets up a romantic pillow fort with fairy lights and candles.
You both cuddle and watch movies all night. And of course, he didn't forget your gift. Gets you matching starfish rings with him.
“Cute,” he mumbles as he sees your figure asleep on his chest.

TBHK- Akane Aoi(The boy), Aoi akane(The girl), Mitsuba sousuke, Hanako, Nene yashiro, Hakubo with a blind reader
Blind S/O
Tumblr media
[ HEADCANONS ] [ Akane, Hanako, Yashiro, Hakubo ]
[ Toilet Bound Hanako-kun / Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun ]
Tumblr media
Because of problems with time and other things i had to left Mitsuba and Aoi out, i'm so sorry about that, please enjoy the one that i wrote and if you really want you can request them again once request are open again! ❤️
Tumblr media
Akane Aoi
Akane is a lovestruck man, when he falls in love he does it hard, he just loves all of you and doesn't mind at all that you are blind (although, it sadden him a little that you won't be able to appreciate the world with your beautiful eyes) he just love you for who you are and is willing to help you in anything he can
Even before start dating Akane learn all that he has to have in consideration while dealing with a blind person, but he actually never really bring it up to the topic and when he does is with all the respect, in the other hand he is always making sure nothing get in your way or that anyone wants to bother you or even take advantage of your disability (or in general, he won't let anyone making any kind of offence against you)
Akane is always by your side (unless it makes you uncomfortable, in that case he will step back but not for too long, it sadden him be away from you), he likes to guide you around the school hand by hand (or anywhere, really), even if you already know the way by heart or have your own cane he insist on guiding you
If you ever need help in anything you don't have to even ask, Akane is so observant and lovestruck that he had learn to reconize your body language and is always paying attention to you, besides nothing makes him more happy to be of help to his beloved partner, he is willing accommodate his whole life in a order that benefits you if it make it easier for you (is probably that he learn how read in braille just because it is related to you)
Despite the fact that Akane is completely lovestruck that doesn't mean he is blinded by that love, he is capable to reconize all your capabilities and actually admires you for be in able to adapt your life despite not being able to see, he doesn't underestimated you and even try to step back and leave you do things that he knows you are capable of do. He is just always there for you because he loves you and loves being with you, he swears (and has no problem with expressing it a million of times) that he doesn't treat you the way he does because you are blind, even if your weren't blind he will still treat you as royalty
Akane is pretty protective over you, again even if you weren't blind he would still be protective over you, and not just from other people but also the supernaturals, he tries to keep you as far away as posible from the supernaturals and people with ill intentions or that will bring nothing but bad comments about you, it only takes a bad comment about you about you and he is ready to throw his hands against that person, although most of the time he doesn't do anything too serious (or at least not in front of you)
Is common for blind people to guide themselfs by their hands, that is why he always want to be holding your hand to guide you (besides, he loves holding your hand). However, he loves just spending quality time with you by just watching you guide yourself around your house or touching diferent things, discovering the world in your own way (he may will want to try it with you, he just thinks is adorable), and if you ask him if you could feel his face he waste no time before screaming answering with an excited yes, he doesn't hesitant to let you do it and insist that you can do it all the times you want (please just forgive him if his cheeks feels like burning during the first times you do it)
Despite being so lovestruck and showering you with compliments all the time, Akane can be serious when the situation is need it so he is really good at comforting you if you need it and giving you a boost on your self-esteem and self-confidence, he stops being cheerful for a moment to speak from his heart with a lot of seriousness, making your worries go away easily
Tumblr media
Hanako-kun
Hanako is a really caring partner, despite being all playful and teasing he is constantly worring about your well-being, even before start dating and even if you weren't blind he is just really caring in general, so since you are important for him is only like a second nature for him to care for you
He tries to don't make a big deal about you being blind because he doesn't want to make you feel like he is underestimating you or that he doesn't trust on you but he can't just not worry about you, in his mind he is already putting you in danger by just being with you for his position and his goal and since you can't see anything that just worries him more. Most of the time he is able to handle his anxiety but whenever you two were in danger or something happen to you his anxiety is trigger and he can handle himself
For him it doesn't matter much if you are a supernatural or a human, completely capable to protect yourself or not, he will be protective over you (but tries to don't be pushy or overwhelming), he is there immediatly whenever another supernatural or human is threating your safety (although, he can't do much when it comes to other humans)
He is spending all his free time by your side, making sure you are alright and just enjoying your company. Sometimes, when a person have a problem with one of his senses, the others are sharpened so if that happens to you he likes to tease you and test your senses in a playful manner, sneaking behind you wanting to know if you will notice him before he is able to reach you (and probably steal a kiss or hug, taking you by surprise) other times he just whisper in your ears sweet but teasing nothings
He is pretty curious to know how you persive the world and he really wants to ask but he is too shy to do so, if you don't express that to him maybe one day he will gain the courage to ask you. If you ask him to describe you something (because you need to know or are just curious) he will try to do his best, although he is a little bit of embarrassed and nervous about not giving you an useful explanation, and he just makes himself more nervous by telling himself that he has to do his best since you are counting on him (but will never admit it out loud, unless you catch him there)
If you guide yourself by your hands he makes sure you don't have to touch anything that can harm you, as well, he always takes mental notes of your items of support (like your cane in case you have one), specially whenever you let it at the side
If you ever ask him if he would let you feel his face with your hands in an attempt to make a mental image of him he will be extremely nervous about it, he feels like this would be a really intimate and personal thing between you two and he doesn't know how to handle it (even if for you isn't so personal for him it is), he will try to take it against you by teasing you about it in an attempt to cover up his embarrasment. It will take a lot of insistance to convince him to let you do it and still he will be blushing a lot when you do it, giving you a soft apology for it, wanting to turn around but at the same time not wanting to force you to stop
It take a while for him to get used to your condition but once he does he will treat you normally, not making a big deal out of your blindness but also making some jokes and playful teasing (as his usual), mainly when you two are with your friends, but when he is alone he let himself be more calm and soft, he gives his best whenever you need comfort (even when it embarrasses him) or whenever you need help due your condition
Sometimes he lets himself relax and close his eyes, paying attention to everything around in an attempt to appreciate the world like you do and trying to understand you better
Tumblr media
Nene Yashiro
First of all, Yashiro is incredibly happy to finally be dating someone, being and love and be reciprocated! She is so happy from that simple fact that everything else doesn't matter anymore. Although, that doesn't mean she doesn't take seriously your disability because she does
It would take her a while to get used at the fact that you can't see at all, she doesn't see a problem with it, is just that it makes her sad that you can't see and apreciate the beauty of the world with your eyes (although, she is grateful that you can't see her ankles), most of the time she tries to act like she doesn't really think about it quite a lot or that it doesn't sadden her because she doesn't want to bother you with it or seem like she is pitying you, but she isn't the best at hidding it either
Yashiro is a hopless romantic so she wants to do all kind of romantic things with you, although your disability may make a little dificult to do some things but she always manage to come up with something, she doesn't mind at all adapting the plans for romantic dates to you. However, there are some things she does even once she is already used to your disability, things like making pretty presents (wrapping gifts in nice and cute ways), making effords to dress nicely whenever you go out or taking you to places that are beautiful
Yashiro doesn't try to romanticize your disability but she can help but find extremely cute and romantic if you rely on her for help, even for the smallest things like helping you find your way around in a new place or describing something for you, she always does it with a small but sweet smile
Yashiro likes holding your hand while walking and if it helps you to find your way around makes her feel more proud and happy since she is of help, although if you prefer to use a cane or your own hand is fine (but she will still pay attention to where you walk so you don't bump into something or someone)
Yashiro normally doesn't talk about your disability nor make jokes about it, and if it does she make it she speaks with a lot of respect and even nervousness, even if you are fine with it and even you yourself make jokes about it it would take her a while to feel comfortable with doing it herself
She is pretty curious about how you percive the world since you depend in your other senses, so whenever your are doing things like concentranding on what is happening, feeling something new in your hands or even reading she can't help to look at you with a lot of love and even blushing (although, most of the time she become aware of the fact that she was staring after a moment and become incredibly embarrased)
If you ever ask her if you could hold her face to see her she will get immediatly flustered and nervous, she ask you twice just to make sure she understand right your request, despite how nervous and blushy she is Yashiro doesn't want to decline your request, so she sutter a nervous but excited yes, as your hands get closer and closer her heartbeat increase their speed and her cheeks will get more and more red (she quietly apologize for all of it and offer to try it again once she calm down, although she probably won't calm down soon)
She doesn't like much confrontantion but has not problem on stepping in front of you to defend you and help you if someone dares to say something about you (and Hanako and Kou are the same, because is for sure that she will introduce you to them)
Tumblr media
Hakubo
Hakubo normally doesn't does things on his own, so it has to start by you or someone else asking him to help you (with something small or fully helping you for your disability), it was a really slow process but the more time you two pass together the more Hakubo start taking a liking to you and start to do things for you for his liking and not because he was asked for it
Hakubo is really good to adjust to any kind of work he is asked for so getting used to the fact that you can't see and helping you around is rather easy for him, it doesn't take him long to reach the point where he does help you almost automatically
The love grows slowly, and with the pass of time Hakubo learns more and more, and, also, he start to wish more and do things on his own, so before you two even start a relasionship he already started to help you and actively try to be closer to you just because he wants to
Hakubo doesn't mind at all that you are blind and has already got used to it long ago, so for him doing things like helping you around, guiding you around the places and being protective over you is just like the normal things to do to him
If you ask him to describe you something it would depend on what you ask for, for example if you ask about a situation that needs some kind of solution (like if there are obstacles in the way or if the road is safe) he is completely capable to describe it to you, may be a little too formal in his way of speaking but is just that he wants to be as useful as posible; in the other hand, if you ask him to describe you something like a landscape or how something looks he won't really know how to do it, he stares confused at what you are asking for before trying to give you an answer, what end up being a pretty simple descrption (if you are disappointed by his answer he will quietly apologize)
You can ask him anything and he will be happy to do it, even if you ask for help for something that isn't related to your disability he won't have problem with doing it (unless is something extremely silly or too playful, he will stare at you for a moment dumbfounded), however, you have to ask for the favor, he has a lot of troubles when it comes to choose to do things on his own, although with time he learns more about knowing when it is okay for him to offer his help of his own volition. He likes to be useful to you and still he feels happy and even proud of you whenever you are able to do things on your own
If you ever ask him to let you feel his face with his hands he doesn't think much of it and accept without hesitantion, however is until when you start caresing his face with your hands when he start to feel more flustered, he may feel a little embarrassed by it but wont stop you, he grows to apreciate it and take it as a really intimate and loving gesture (may even start doing it to you too)
Hakubo doesn't see why to get into inecessary fights, however that doesn't mean he will let others mess with you, he is protective over you so he is immediatly by your side if someone says something bad about you or tries to bother you, normally he just step in to shield you and depending on the other person is when he will decide to just take you away or send them a deadly glare (he only gets physical when is a mayor offence since he is obviously stronger due being a oni)
Despite the fact that most of the time he is more serious and even formal Hakubo will grow more and more comfortable and confident (to the point you two become friends and even a couple), so at some point Hakubo will start being more friendly with you, making some jokes and teasing (mainly that), although he only makes jokes about your disability is he is 100% sure you are alright with it (and yet, it would take him a while to bring it up in a joke or teasing)

I finally did the proper thing and bought some Aspec books! This is the second of my haul and I just got done reading it! I've seen posts about it here on Tumblr and when I saw my bookstore had it, I had to get it! We gotta support our aspec creators!
So first off, it's great. It's funny, there's lots of chemistry, and it's sweet. The second volume has a theme I really appreciate and it's the fact that THIS is what it's like to have queer friends! The comfort, the lack of worry about crushes, being able to open up about huge important parts about yourself that they would understand or at least feel a bit of relation to, it's just so good.
And showing Gakurouta getting jealous of Momo-kun, not because he's secretly in love with Yuriko, but because he cares about her and wants to keep being close to her and doesn't want their relationship to end because she found a intimacy with someone else, just, chefs kiss! Cause I feel that all the time, and it's also so nice to have it be allo person feeling it instead of a Aspec person-- it feels like a turn of the trope. Also...Gakurouta feels demiromantic to me, he so reads demiro, like, read it yourself guys, the way he describes his attraction to Sousuke??? Anyway
Also, like, Yuriko being happy that her two boys are getting along and becoming individual friends feels so good. The blush on her cheeks when she thinks about it. She's so me. It's a short and beautiful moment. Also the FUCINF CAKE REFERENCE OMG THEY HAD TO PUT A DESERT ANALOGY TO ASEXUALITY HUH
Also like, the brief mentioning of fujoshi culture.. it's good that they brought it up cause I really thought they were gonna skip past it, even if it was just a short bit.
So glad Japan has so many stranger to friends to roommate Aspec stories: Is Love the Answer, Koisenu Futari, Sukiyaki Tonight (which is the newest one), and now I've read this: I Want To Be A Wall. I can't wait for the next volume!
@kyanitedragon shouting you out cause I'm pretty sure I've heard about most of these through you! Thank you for your service 🙏

META ANALYSIS - Mitsukou (part 1)
General topic - how they’re written as a one of the romantic couples in the story
Before I start, I need to say few things:
1. I’m not native english speaker. I’m probably going to make a lot of errors and mistakes, mix times, have a lacking vocabulary etc. Please be ready for it. I want to write my meta post anyway, so I would be happy if you will stay to the end with me!
2. If you do not like Mitsukou/hate this ship or anything like that - maybe this post it's not for you. It's totally okay to ship different thing and like different things, I don’t mind. My post is not a starter for a discussion tho, I’m not interested in discourses, argues and hate. I don’t really plan to “prove” anything to anyone or force you to change your mind, whole post is only MY analysis and my point of view. You are not obligated to feel the same way I feel, to see things the same way I see them. 
3. I’m not interested in proving if Mitsukou is going to ever be canon or anything. I don’t know that. I’m also not going to analyze if they’re ever going to be a CANON COUPLE or an ENDGAME COUPLE. It’s only about if they’re written as a romantic relationship, and being written as a romantic couple =/= being a canon couple, they’re a lot of pairs in media that definitely are written as a romantic relationship without them being together ever or being an endgame. I’m not going to speculate about endgame, especially when one of the characters is supernatural and one is a human. 
Okay, I think we can start now!
Let's start from the beginning. Because my first language is not english my post may be a little bit chaotic, putting all my thoughts in at least some order and with at least some sense it's actually hard, haha. In part 1 I will try to cover the first meeting between Kou and the ghost of Mitsuba.
So!
They first met during chapter 18. And it was meeting between Kou and ghost of a Mitsuba Sousuke, so it wasn’t our currently Mitsuba - it worth to mention they're not the same person, even if they are extremely similar, share a lot elements of their personalities, they look nearly the same, and current Mitsuba even share some dead Sousuke's memories because of School Mystery No. 4 Shijima Mei and her Picture Perfect arc. Still - not the same person and Mitsuba Kou met in chapter 18 is not the current Mitsuba. 
At the beginning they're not really that much written as a romantic, their short arc was more like something starting Kou’s personal arc and his development. He got some background, some motivation, some angst, he changed. For most part Kou behaved pretty normal, just like himself - a selfless, lively boy that really wanted to help a lonely, sad ghost that Mitsuba was. (he wasn’t traumatized yet). Even if some of their interaction could be readed with a shippy glasses, there wasn’t anything that was inherently romantic about them. 
Tumblr media
I think it's kind of ironic how this is literally their first panel in the manga. Mitsuba literally looks like some kind of eldritch horror and he says “Did you forget about me?”. Yeah Kou, did you? This quite sums some elements of their arc. We know that Kou actually did forget about Mitsuba, who was one of his classmates. Also, Kous' trauma, related to everything that happened to Mitsuba, hunts him for the rest of the story. He also, clearly has a problem with recognition of both Mitsubas, with dealing with Ghost Mitsuba death and with the idea of forgetting someone and leaving someone. We also know that, when current!Mitsuba was made by Tsukasa, he didn’t remember Kou. That's why this quote here is very ironic. 
Tumblr media
There is nothing really to analyze here but I find it funny. Yeah, you quite literally just haunted the wrong guy and it’s going to be a problem for you and said guy for the next 15 volumes of the manga. Good luck. 
Tumblr media
Even after calling Mitsuba an “evil spirit” Kou still tries to help him and even decides to “take the big tough guy approach” to make Mitsuba feel safer about him. Kou is not really “the big tough guy”, even if he tries to pose as one. He is a 14 yo kid with kind of fucked up situation in life, even, if he doesn’t recognize it yet. 
Tumblr media
Maybe you could learn something from Kous stupid earning, mr. boy who DIED in the car accident.
It's definitely not an accident that Mitsuba died hit by a car and Kou has a BIG earning with a big caption “TRAFFIC SAFETY”. Even after reading all chapters up to 103 I’m not really sure how I should interpret this exact symbolism in their relationship, but it's definitely done on purpose by the authors. I think it may symbolize that Kou, with a “traffic safety” earning will save Mitsuba, who previously died in a traffic accident from dying another time? Like, now Mitsuba have Kou by his side and maybe Kou will manage to keep him safe. His earning is mentioned by Mitsuba too many times, it's done so we can notice it, for sure. And I wonder how it turns out. 
Tumblr media
It’s the first time Mitsuba suggests that Kou either has some kind of feelings toward him, tries to do something dirty towards him or something similar. Every time he just jokes or tries to provoke Kou or something like that. At first I thought it's just how Mitsuba is, some people love to joke like that, but then I noticed, later in the story, that Kou is quite literally the only person Mitsuba ever does this to. Sure he does not have many friends “his age” but still during the manga it would be possible for him to behave like that toward other characters, but he does not. He jokes like that only toward Kou and I think during the next parts of my writing I will point it out more.
Tumblr media
Even after 20 minutes of insulting he is still concerned about Mitsuba. That's so funny and sweet. 
Tumblr media
Yeeeaaah sure it totally does not relate in any way to the fact that ghost Motsuba got to die after taking a photo of KOU out of everything yeeeeaaaah nada nope. It's crazy how the authors planned this because Hanako really started as some kind of funny manga about kids and ghosts and supernatural things, but the angst we get later is actually top notch and kinda scary. There was few moments I really had to like, stand up and walk in my room because of the emotions I felt after reading.
Tumblr media
Look how happy he is with the idea of being a model to the Mitsubas photos. He is bright, smiling and even blushing. The next ironic thing is how he cried after actually seeing a picture of himself made by Mitsuba. Also I like how prominent his earning is here.
Tumblr media
Mitsuba is very particular, he really made pictures only of animals, plants and other non-human things. That's probably why his photo of Kou hit me like a train. That's literally narratively confirming that Mitsuba saw Kou as something (someone) he likes, someone that is important to him. Kou also realized it after seeing the picture, that was one of the reasons why he was so devastated.
Tumblr media
There are few things about that whole scene I would like to point up. The first are doves. Mitsuba, especially Ghost Mitsuba, is often presented with doves as a form of his symbolism. Doves and cherry blossoms are probably the most prominent symbols of his character. I’m not really that good when it comes to symbols, but I think doves symbolize things like peace, but also some form of innocence/purity and love. Some sources also say about transformation and spirituality. I think one of the reasons for choosing doves is to symbolize how he didn’t deserve to die like that, that his soul is actually good and seeks for peace. In Kou’s eyes he is also someone innocent, definitely. Especially when we are talking about ghost Mitsuba at the beginning of a story. 
ALSO I’m pretty sure birds are foreshadowing to current!Mitsuba being made from the school mystery no. 3 who looked like a bird and who current!Mitsuba gained a lot of his characteristics from. Current!Mitsuba hair looks like feathers, his hand looks like talons etc. He is heavily associated with birds from the beginning. Even if Ghost!Mitsuba is associated with doves more and current!Mitsuba with ravens or crows. 
The next thing about this scene is Kou finally realizing he knew Mitsuba and it hit him. Understanding that Mitsuba actually KNEW Kou and it was Kou who didn’t remember him probably made him feel remorse and generally really bad about himself. That’s not a nice thing if you forget about a boy who was with you in a class, and the fact that ghost Mitsuba actually tried to talk to him and asked him “Did you forget about me”... It's hard for me to even imagine what Kou felt at that moment. 
Also, Mitsuba surely didn’t know about Kou being from an exorcist family, so he wouldn't expect that Kou will take direct action after meeting a ghost lol. If it comes to Mitsuba, I’m pretty sure it was very scary.
Tumblr media
I wish we could see more of them like that. Just like two boys having fun with each other. I love angst, trust me. But I think they deserve rest and to just have a chance to play and talk a be… normal for once. Everytime when they get a chance to have fun they’re cute and hilarious together. 
Tumblr media
Rain can symbolize sadness and hard emotions soooo yeah, I’m not surprised it started raining. I think it sort of symbolizes feelings of both Kou and Mitsuba here.
Tumblr media
They’re going to the third floor and I’m sure it's foreshadowing to Mitsuba becoming a School Mystery no. 3. 
I’m still impressed how much foreshadowing is during their first meeting (chap 18-20). Like the birds, nr 3, traffic safety earning, motif of remembering/forgetting etc. You could also think that photography would be something like that but… it's not. Photography becomes a thing that is helping recognizing human/ghost Mitsuba from current supernatural Mitsuba. They’re similar but not the same person. Photos were one of the main characteristics of the original Mitsuba, both in this arc and during a moment with Mitsubas mother later. It was always about photos, but it's never about photos when it comes to our current Mitsuba.
Tumblr media
Yeah, that kind of explains why Kou didn’t remember him immediately, even after seeing how Mitsuba looks and hearing his surname he should know. Because, like, Kou should remember him, they were in the same class, sit close to each other etc. But the mask that Mitsuba created was so strong that made him nearly imperceptible (like, you know, a ghost hah) and at this point tbh I don’t think Mitsuba liked it very much. He is actually a pretty bold and cocky person and all of this probably bugged him. Of course he wasn’t bullied, but was it worth becoming somebody different, somebody boring and bland to others? I think there is some form of regret. But also I don’t think that ALL of this was a mask, because Mitsuba definitely has some of a calmer and more sweet side to himself, he showed it a lot of times.
Tumblr media
He tries to fix it up by recognizing him now for who he is. With both his positive and negative aspects, even if he points out mostly his flaws. Still, this is the Mitsuba he met, the Mitsuba he knows and the Mitsuba he IS GOING TO remember. Mitsuba he befriended now. It actually means a lot for Sousuke. He is dead, he may have thought that it's the end for him and for all of his relationships he ever had. Its funny how Mitsuba said he is a ghost because he still wanted to do photos, but the truth is he wanted relationships, but the true ones. Not based on his “fake” nice self, but on real him with all his flaws and that's why he haunted other students rather than just… go do photos or something. He tried to connect to others, because he subconsciously thought relationships and friends he had when he lived weren’t really true and real. It’s ironic how it resembles the current!Mitsuba in Picture Perfect act. 
Kou started to realize who Mitsuba was and how tragic his situation was, he started to empathize. Kou has a martyr complex, so he wanted to help Mitsuba any way he could. It was also shown that he does LIKE Mitsuba even with his twisted personality, Kou said it himself and it surely means a lot for Mitsuba who wasn’t liked before for his true personality. That was probably the moment Mitsuba felt a real bond towards Kou and become attached to him. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Kou even blushed a few times.That would still be read as platonic and sweet tho!. I think it was, personally. The most important thing during their first meeting was, of course, how it ended, because, in my opinion, it was a moment when most (not all tho) Kou's mental problems started. There was still his family, of course. Teru loves Kou very much, but still his mentality and behavior was a root for Kou’s low self esteem and some other elements of his personality, tho I think it may be a topic for a whole different post.
In this small arc, in my opinion, the moment that was the beginning of me perceiving them as written as one of the couples, a romantic relationship was this exact moment:
Tumblr media
“I don’t know… maybe something important to me?” 
And also a moment when Kous saw this picture for the first time, when he developed photos, and how this cracked him.
Generally, becoming friends with Mitsuba was very important to Kou. Not only because he wanted to help him (and, internally, also making Kou feel better about himself) but also it was probably the first time when… Kou may feel somewhat special? He always was in the shadow of Teru, he wasn’t an “official” exorcist, he wasn't going to missions in the town, he wasn’t very strong (Hanako literally KO’ed him without a sweat and Kou couldn't do much to Hanako), the girl he got a small crush on (Nene) clearly had something with Hanako… Kou was always pushed back and now, with Mitsuba, he made an actually special relationship between the only two of them. He felt NEEDED, and we all know how much Kou desperately needs to feel NEEDED. In his own mind, he was the only one that could help Mitsuba and that understood Mitsuba, that's why Mitsubas ghost death was so hard for him. He finally got something special for himself and he couldn't even protect it and he let lonely, poor ghost tragically vanish. That's some trauma for you.
I’m not going to write much about Mitsubas feelings there because it was Sousuke Mitsubas feelings - and currently I’m going to focus more on a School Mystery Mitsuba. Tho Sousuke definitely perceived Kou and his help as something special to him. That's where their fated bond started. 
Tumblr media
“You can help me develop them tomorrow and then… I think I’ll be okay”.
Yet we can’t see his eyes when he speaks, and that suggests he thinks something different that what he speaks. Not showing eyes is a common motif to show that a character is lying or saying something he does not think or hiding something. Here is just like that - it’s not about photos, it's about KOU. It’s because of Kou he is going to be okay, not because of the photos he took today. Something changed for Mitsuba when Kou recognized him for someone he actually is and wanted to become friends with him. For Mitsuba it means a lot because when he was alive he couldn’t get true friends and real relationships with others. 
Tumblr media
Yeah walk walk trauma baby. I know I mention  ‘trauma” a lot when it comes to Kou, but the whole manga is like a one big parade of traumas for this boy and it's not even funny. I’m not surprised he is starting to become more and more insane with every next arc. Especially in the Night Out small arc we can clearly see how detached from actual reality Kou starts to be and how he stops recognizing differencs between supernatural and real word, good and evil, selfless and selfish behavior etc. It’s all the result of the traumatic situations he was put in for like 16 volumes straight. And he is bearing it A LOT WORSE than Nene is.
Tumblr media
Ouch. 
“You wished for people remembering you but now youre happy with just a one person?” That hits hard but also I’m angry at Tsukasa, like leave that boy alone.Even one person can make a change in someones life, and thats what Mitsuba felt at a moment. For Kou he was someone, he was real, he had a personality, Kou recognized him and that gives him a true sense of identity. For him it was enough
Tumblr media
You met like half of a day before and you are calling him your friend and fighting for him with an unknown dangerous supernatural who looks exactly like your other friend. Bruh that's some dedication. Kou is desperate to save Mitsuba, but Kou is generally desperate to be a savior. He tries to “save” Nene a lot of times even if it’s not really necessary, because Nene also has other friends and people who support her and is pretty clever and capable of bearing problems on her own (most of the time). Yet Kou still treats Nene like some damsel in distress that need his protection when it's CLEARLY not like that. Sadly, Kou mostly fails anyway. He fails now with Mitsuba and if it comes to Nene, if she needs saving, the person who (usually) saves her is Hanako. Kou rarely has something he can actually do and it's cracking him up mentally.
Tumblr media
Yeah, “I’m supernatural who grants wishes” not “I’m a ghost of a boy who once lived in this town”. Yeah. It was right here from the beginning.
Tumblr media
I just hope it’s not a form of foreshadowing.
Tumblr media
His last words were “Minamoto-kun”, it's so sad. On this last panel he actually looked a little brighter than on the previous panel of his transformation, and that's because he looked at Kou. 
I need to say, seeing a person you treat important to you and calling a friend dying in a horrible way and hearing their last words being your name must be pretty stressful. It would probably haunt me for a long time and I’m sure Kou is still affected by it.
On the 20 chapter cover Mitsuba is together with the rest of the main squad (Nene, Hanako, Kou). It was pretty weird back then - he literally died and looks like he was going to be a one-arc character that started Kous character development, but this cover was a hint that it's going to be different and Mitsuba, probably, is going to play a whole different role in the story. He, also, had a hand around Kous head and nearly touched his hair gently - its a symbol of intimacy. 
Tumblr media
That was a proof how strong, narratively, their relationship is and is going to be during the progression of a story. And, in my opinion, a foreshadowing to Mitsubas feelings. Because I think currently, our Mitsuba is aware of his feelings toward Kou, but I’m going to cover this topic a little bit later. 
On this cover there is a lot more symbolism,especially with Hanako and his role in the story, but it's also a thing for a whole different post. 
What Tsukasa said was that Mitsubas wish was ‘“ want to stay with my friends forever and ever”.
Tumblr media
That’s literally what I said earlier. 
It’s a recurring topic with current!Mitsuba and his relationship with Kou.  Mitsuba feels lonely and… Kou also feels lonely. Even if he has a brother, father and friends (Nene and Hanako and other school friends) Kou is incredibly lonely because of his inferiority complex. He desperately needed to be needed, needed to be special to someone, needed to be important to someone, and that person was Mitsuba. Right now, he is the most important person to Mitsuba and that's both good and very bad for Kou. Good because he finally feels like someone important and someones one and only, but bad because of how traumatic his relationship with Mitsuba is to him and how unhealthy it is. And by it I don’t mean  they’re toxic or bad people - they are kids who want to be loved and who want to have their place in the world. But Mitsuba is a monster, he is a supernatural, whos life is stained away by his instinct, who needs to eat other monsters and who does not really… have any actual bright future and Kou is traumatized boy with low self estem, problems with his selfworth, with martyr complex and some sort of suicidal tendencies. They have a lot to work out.
Tumblr media
Kou is going to be a supernatural / is going to try to be a supernatural / is going to be forced to be supernatural - hint number one. 
Yes, I will go back to this topic, because I’m literally scared of it so much. It's prominent during the whole story that Kou is foreshadowed to have a plotline related to becoming supernatural in some way. And when this topic is touched it's usually related to his plotline with Mitsuba. I’m kind of scared of HOW it’s going to happen or if it’s going to be only a try or Kou really will become supernatural in some way. But it's too much of a recurring topic of Kous WHOLE character arc to not being important and to not happen. It's even hard to call it foreshadowing, its literal hints everywhere. 
Tumblr media
Kou spent with Mitsuba literally… one day, outside of being in the same class for a while (Kou didn’t even remember this time THAT much, time they spend together this day was more important) and yet he CLINGED SO HARD to the idea that Mitsuba is his “friend”. He desperately needed to be wanted, needed, to have a special bond, to being able to help, to save someone. And yet he lost Mitsuba at this moment, he couldn't do shit to save him, he was absolutely… just useless during a fight. It affected him a lot. 
During the scene when Hanako “kills” Mitsuba, there are sakura petals. They’re heavily associate with Mitsuba and are one of his symbols:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This scene, narratively was a scene that said to us he is GONE. For good. It was a “goodbye” for him and Kou, he is dead. That's all. At this point we couldn't know we are going to meet current!Mitsuba, so we could thing that is the end of Mitsuba and the beginning of a Kous arc. And… it was both of these things but in the whole DIFFERENT meaning. Of course it was goodbye to the Sousuke, he is dead, he can’t come back. Of course it was a beginning for Kous development. But… it was also a beginning for our current!Mitsuba, for slowly progressing Kous insanity as an effect of his trauma and the beginning for Mitsuba and Kous actual arc and relationship. We thought it was the end but it was actually the beginning that changed… the whole Kou, to be honest.
Tumblr media
I think it's related not only to Mitsuba but to Hanako, too. Imagine what Hanako could feel at that moment. He is a ghost and a supernatural who know how doomed he is and he only protects school and Nene. But Kou said it's bullshit and clearly believes in what he says. Sadly, Hanako is so stubborn.
Tumblr media
One of the symbols related to Kou is a lion. Lions may symbolize a lot of things, like strength, courage but also - protection. Just like Kou tries to protect everyone and tries to be strong and courageous for others. I actually think it suits him quite well. Lions also symbolize the sun and it was shown a few times that Kou is like a sun to Mitsuba.
Tumblr media
At some point of a story he is definitely going to do some crazy shit I’m telling you. He really tries to believe that he can find a way to change how the world works and it can end up good but.. it can also end up INCREDIBLY BAD. It’s not that good to mess up with life and death and when you cross up a border there is no coming back. With every arc the manga is becoming a little bit more dark and serious with topic it shows and och boy I’m kind of scared for Kou and Mitsuba.
Tumblr media
You can literally hear me crying. It was probably the first moment in the manga that actually had any impact on me, I was really like… I had to stand and walk for a bit before reading. Kou sees a photo of himself and remembers Sousuke saying “Who knows? Maybe something important to me?” and starting crying was like. I wanted to cry too. I can’t even imagine what Kou felt at this moment, it was probably absolutely heartbreaking. 
This small arc finished with chapter 20.During the next arc, Kou, already  affected by Mitsubas death, gets to know that Nene also has a shortened lifespan and it's going to die very shortly. That wasn’t too good for his mental state and he literally fixated on a goal in saving her. When Kou learned about Nene’s situation, Hanako even related it to Mitsubas situation, so we can clearly understand these two examples are related to Kou. He doesn’t want this situation to happen again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Just like with this boy, there is nothing you can do” - Hanako you little shit
But yeah. Again Kou understands how useless he is. How weak he is, how he can’t save anyone the way he is. How he could do nothing about Mitsubas situation and how he can’t do nothing about Nene’s situation. That's tragic. And it's clear Kou doesn’t know what to do about it. Thats why, when current!Mitsuba appeared, he started to find such a ridiculous (and unhealthy) solutions to Mitsubas (and Kous) problems. He don't know what to do but desperately needs to do… something. Anything. To help, to be important. 
It's sad. He said he dont know what he is gonna do, but HE WILL DO SOMETHING. And yet… we know how it all goes for him. He is a brave kid, who is determined and wants others to be happy and alive. 
He even tried to stop a kiss between Hanako and Nene after reading Nenes book and failed. He always fails.
There is also an special page
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is titled “Love stories” that should be about Mitsuba. And it contains both Mitsuba and Kou. It's just a joke, but I need to point out that Mitsuba generally wasn’t shown to be interested in any girl during the progression of the story or never talked about it in general. He also does not crush on Nene, even when both Hanako and Kou felt something toward her at some point in the story.He also talks about how cute he is A LOT and I’m going to say something about it someday, but not now.
I think it's enough for part 1! I think I covered everything I wanted for their first meeting. Let's see at Mitsubas resurrection in the Hell of Mirrors!

p.1 p.5 - p.7
Tumblr media
When you and Satoru were little, you rarely ever fought. The most you argued about would be him taking the last snack out of your snack stash. Usually you saved your most favorite snack for last. So that left his stealing only your most favorite. Satoru would argue that he's the one who bought them in the first place, therefore he got dibs on any of the snacks you had. You would sulk, pout, and ignore him for days on end. But all this conflict would resolve with Satoru buying you your favorite snack as a makeup gift.  
Until recently, you’ve never truly fought with Satoru, much less anyone else.
Which is why you thought it was hard to tell whether or not you and Suguru were truly fighting right now. You lay back on your bed, pondering the meaning of life. You’d only just gotten home from your makeout session with him and the second you both left the tavern, he hadn't said a word to you. 
Now to be fair, you hadn't said anything to him either, shocked that he made that kind of move on you. You wouldn't be surprised if he told you to just forget about it and act like it never even happened. And, honestly, if it meant that you wouldn't have to live in awkward silence, or have Suguru ignoring you, you’d do it in a heartbeat. He hadn't made eye contact with you the whole way home. 
With the way he was acting, you felt like you’d made a mistake somewhere. But shouldn't he be the one apologizing?
You stare at the ceiling in your room, ignoring the shuffling coming through the wall next door. He had gone straight to his room too. You drifted off into sleep.
The next morning was similar to the previous. Except now you felt like shit. You couldn't be hung over, but you definitely didn't drink any water yesterday. The smell of tasty food wafted through the air and you couldn't help but be reminded of your interaction with Suguru. Groaning, you rolled out of bed. Where was Satoru to cut the tension when he was actually needed? 
You made your way to the kitchen, finding yourself face to face with Suguru once again in that damn apron. 
“G’morning,” You grumbled, plopping yourself down on the stool, plate already on your placemat. You began scarfing it down at such a fast pace. He turned and smiled at you. “Good morning, doll,”
The nickname had you choking on your food, as you looked up to him red in the face. He seemed to be making fun of you, and in all honesty, he kinda was. You chose to look down and continue eating the food, not rising to the occasion today. 
He returned to his cooking, and once he was sure you weren't going to say anything he called out. “I was thinking we could try going to the beach today. It looks like it’ll be really nice out,”
So was he choosing to ignore last night? Did he even remember it? He hadn't hinted to it at all.
“Okay, sounds fun.”
Clad in your favorite bathing suit, you ran into the water. Suguru opted to lay under the umbrella, content with the book he was reading.
You'd been there a while. You were hunting for sea creatures, when you heard someone calling out to you. 
“Hey!” You looked around, attempting to find the voice calling to you. You made eye contact with a boy close to your age, waving at you. “Oh,” Your face contorted into one of slight confusion, mouth in a cute ‘O’ shape. “Me?” You said pointing at yourself. 
He closed some of the distance, coming within two feet of you. He was panting from his jog through the water to you, yet a smile remained etched onto his face. He was resting his hands on his knees, hunched over. He likea puppy! How cute~ you thought. 
Smile ever present on your face, you asked him what he needed.
“I was wondering if you wanted to hang out. My friends left early, but I really didn't want to leave. O-Oh but my name is Sousuke.” He mumbled out, blush present on his face, but you felt eyes on the back of your head. You couldn't help but look over to Suguru, who seemed to be glaring at you. This had to be the first time you’ve seen him glare like that. What's he so angry about?
You look back at Sousuke and try to calmly smile, ignoring Suguru’s crushing gaze. You told him your name and said you were also here with someone, pointing over your shoulder at Suguru. You didn't bother turning around, but Sousuke looked behind you. He seemed to do a full body shudder as he politely smiled and tried to excuse himself. “A-ah I’m sorry, I didn't know you came with your boyfriend.” 
“Oh I didn't. He’s just one of my friends. He’s really nice once you get to know him.” You tried to stop him from running off, but Sousuke excused himself. You turned to shoot a glare right back at Suguru and marched your way back to him. 
“Now what crawled up your ass and died?” You angrily bit out. His glare had faded somewhat on your trec to him, but he still seemed a little peeved. 
“Y’know your brother wouldn't appreciate you going around talking to random boys at the beach like that.” 
“Last I checked he wasn't here.” Which wasn't what you wanted to say. You wanted to repeat what you said the night before. Satoru isn't the boss of you. But the words wouldn't come out. 
He seemed to remember that conversation too, not that he would say anything about it. Right now, he just wanted to take you back to the house to avoid the unwanted eyes you seemed to attract. He couldn't lie and say he wasn't staring at you either. Your bathing suit left little to the imagination and he couldn't stop his thoughts from imaging you in a similar position he had you in last night. 
He’d have to use his words carefully, both avoiding a fight similar to the one you had with Satoru, and avoiding your resentment towards him. He didn't want you in a bad mood for the rest of the week that he had you. 
“Do you wanna go to the new Okashi-ya?” You stopped dead in your tracks. Face devoid of the anger you had a second ago. Your eyes lit up in pure excitement, forgetting your previous argument. 
“Really?” 
He wasn't lying. You walked around the sweets shop, eying everything with stars in your eyes. You roamed the isles, pointing at anything and everything that caught your interest. Suguru dutifully followed you down each aisle, holding your items, smiling warmly as you went. He looked down at you with such fondness, and if you hadn't been too busy touching everything you saw, you may have noticed. 
By the time you left the shop, night had already set in. You strolled the street next to your towering friend, with a sweets bag in your hand. You were snacking on a sucker when he finally spoke to you. 
“I don’t want to see you getting hurt by some random boy.” His words light and docile. They caught you by surprise as you stared at him. He seemed to be evading your gaze. “I would rather you find someone who knows our world, and someone who can protect you.” 
His words made you look down, in… embarrassment? shyness? giddiness? 
You couldn't place your feelings, but you gave a slight smile nonetheless. It was nice to have someone care for you other than your brother. 
“Ok, I think I get it now. Thank you, Suguru.” He looked a little surprised by your words but returned your smile. 
But he honestly wasn't that surprised. His words were calculated and driven by his previous interactions between you two. He had a good feeling he knew how you would respond. He didn't want you fucking around with some weak, normal person. But honestly he didn't want you with anyone else for that matter. 
He honed in and felt himself fall for your words again and again. The way you said his name was just too sweet. And you were thanking him? For his rude words earlier? You're just too sweet for your own good. If he had been anyone else, he would've taken advantage of this kindness. 
“You gonna finish that all by yourself?” He asked, pointing to your sucker. He smirked as he leaned in and pulled it right from your mouth. Your smile disappeared in an instant as he plopped it into his mouth. You jumped to try and steal it back, but the man was too damn tall, only spinning to get out of your reach. He let out a smooth laugh that left you also giggling at the playfulness that he hadn't shown for the last day or so. Suddenly all the tension that had been there had completely vanished, and all was back into place. Square one, you thought.
You went to the kitchen the second you got home, pulling out some ingredients from the fridge to try and cook your favorite stew. Dinner time. Setting everything out on the counter you realized Suguru was sitting at the stool just watching you, head propped against his hand and a lazy smile on his face. 
“What’re you lookin’ at?” You made a half-hearted jab. Conversation flowed as you continued cooking. 
And of course with the tall giants in your house, the cutting boards were on the top shelf. You found yourself reaching and jumping to gain some leverage, but couldn't reach them. These fuckin’ men always putting things out of re-
Suddenly you felt something very sturdy and hard pressed up against your back. You looked up to see Suguru's arms reach to the top shelf, easily crowding you. You felt your heart rate pick up as a bright blush touched your face. Suguru brought down your cutting board, setting it in front of you, simultaneously wrapping you in his arms- accidentally of course. He stayed for at least 15 seconds before he pulled away and went back to his stool. You remained fixed in place. What was that? 
Food was good that night, but you found yourself growing sleepier and sleepier by the second. 
“M’ goin’ to bed, Sugu.” You nearly slurred. “M’ stuffed.”
He watched you try to stay awake long enough to go back to your room. You had a long day. He thought you looked so cute fighting off sleep. You found yourself in bed pretty soon after, dozing off. 
He made his way back to his room after cleaning up the mess you both made.
He reached his room and shut the door quietly. You would surely be asleep now, right? He stripped to his boxers and sat down on his bed. He layed back and thought long and hard about you. 
You with your kind words, your sweet laugh, your exciting personality. 
You with your dazzling blue eyes, your stark white hair, your alluring figure. 
You with your plush, pouty lips, your pillowy thighs, your bathing suit. 
Fuck. He was hard again. 
You had to know what you were doing to him. How you were making him feel. Wearing that bathing suit with no cover, talking to that random guy, and having the audacity to act like you were mad that he scared him off. 
He rubbed himself through his boxers, panting now at the thought of pulling you away from that dill weed, and bringing you back under the umbrella. Pinning you underneath him, both your wrists chained to the ground by his hand.
Him hovering over you, one of his legs parting yours. He groaned at the thought of what your face would look like at that point. Would you be furious? Turned on? Confused? What he wouldn't do to see that. 
Then, when he knew your eyes were on him, he’d rip your lower bathing suit off. Would you complain? Ask him to buy you a new one? Squirm with arousal? Beg for more?
He pulled himself out of his boxers, playing with his slit. Precum coated his fingers and he rubbed himself slowly, squeezing when he reached his tip. He moaned a little louder with each rub, pretending it was you who was rubbing him. 
He’d listen to your whining, cooing at you to be a good girl and take what he gave you. He’d make sure you were nice and wet for him before spearing his cock deep into your sloppy cunt. Would that fucker watch how good he made you feel? Would he be too intimidated to approach you after this? Of course. No one would approach you when they knew how he owned you. How you'd already have your pretty little cunt stuffed full of his fat cock. 
He’d fuck you stupid. Plain and simple. ‘Til you weren't able to tell him no one could boss you around. ‘Til you knew where you belonged. Maybe he’d fuck you full of his babies. You were so compassionate and caring, he’s sure you’d stay forever if he gave you a true reason to. The thought of you full of his cum, you having his kids, you being his little wife, edged him so much closer.
He was softly calling your name now, basically chanting at this point. He'd be able to fuck you stupid every day. He’d get to hear your pretty little voice begging for his cock, his tongue, his everything as often as he wanted. He finally felt himself snap, thick ropes of hot cum shooting over his stomach. Your name coming from his mouth in a possessive strangled growl. He was panting pretty heavily now. 
He calmed down after a minute, grabbing a tissue from his bedside table. He wiped the cum off his stomach, not able to stop the nasty thought of you cleaning up this mess instead. How would your tongue feel gliding over his abs? If he doesn't stop now, he'd be hard again. He opted to lay down, ready to fall asleep. He glanced at the wall separating the two of you, wishing he could drag you to his room. 
You laid flat on your back. Eyes wide at the ceiling. Was he finished now? Your heart was racing-had been since you heard the first groan from his mouth. You finally decided it was safe to move, after a few minutes of him finishing. You reached between your legs, finding that your slick had soaked through your fucking panties and onto your bedsheets. Was this even fucking possible? And God. was he moaning your fucking name? 
You sighed, opting to silently take care of yourself, then head to bed. You couldn't imagine seein’ his face after hearing all that.

HIII!! I always wanted to make this request but I didn’t know if they watched or read the manga so hear me out…how about Mitsuba, Kou, Hanako, and Akane (Hopefully that’s not too much-) with a s/o that is like Princess Syalis? ^^ (I can honestly see the apparitions being scared of them and the Mokkes help them steal stuff idk why I can strangely see it)
Tumblr media
Follow My Orders
Genre : Fluff
Characters : Aoi Akane, Mitsuba Sousuke, Minamoto Kou, Hanako-kun
TW : None
A/N : Aww this is so cute, I even imagine the mokkes help us escape cleaning too
I hope you enjoy 💗
I'm gonna use their old banners for awhile, I am unmotivated to make them rn
Tumblr media
You're a handful..
He didn't have any problems with you when you joined the school
You were very quiet and kept to yourself
And... you were mostly asleep...
Not like he wanted to talk to you
right?
Nah, He thinks your sleeping face and cute snoring captured his heart
it clenched him
So he would sometimes wait for you to wake up
which you don't...
You were only awake when he was doing something or he had stacks of work to do
and it frustrated him
But he liked you so
He followed this pattern of yours and quickly finished all his work so he could talk to you
And for the first time, he actually caught you awake
He cleared his throat to get your attention as you were sewing little clothes for the Mokke which he found absolutely adorable
You stopped what you were doing and slowly looked up at him, Akane froze at how pretty your eyes were, given that you would sleep most of the time he rarely saw how your eyes looked like
Its like he took a screenshot in real life, the image of your face burned into his brain
Neither of you said anything first, you just kind of stared at him as he stared back at you, when you were about to go back to what you were working on he spoke up
"Ah my apologies, what are you still doing here, It's after-school already" Akane didn't want her to go, but it was per school regulation, all students who don't have a club were to go home immediately.
"Can't I stay a little longer?" Your pouting face and sleepy voice shot an arrow right thru Akane's heart as he fell on his knees and bowed his head
"STAY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT MY GODDESS!" You smiled as you pat his head which made him explode and run off somewhere probably to grab something to proclaim his love already
Tumblr media
O-oi! You're supposed to be my prisoner!!
You just wanted some good sleep
like everywhere you go, someone or something just has to ruin it
and right now it was happening something ruined it
or someone?... they look alien..
You went from asking Yashiro and Kou where to sleep
But ended up being sucked inside the mirror
the last thing you heard and saw was a very panicked Yashiro and Kou
And a very scared Hanako
And now you're here, in a.. what did they call it a boundary?
"Hey! Were you even listening to a word I said?" Ah they were speaking? Actually.. you couldn't tell if they were a guy or a girl with very boyish clothes.. Though their hair was pink so maybe—
"So you weren't listening, Good these hands dragged in a sleepyhead you even slept on the wya here!" The pink haired... person said in frustration, you cleared your throat to get their attention which it did "I have a question.. Are you a girl or a boy?"
.
.
.
"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!?"
He calmed down and introduced himself
He said his name was Mitsuba, and he was lost here
well thats all you heard cause you were really really sleepy at the moment
One thing led to another, Hanakos doppelganger showed up
And he put you to sleep
and you were very happy
While you were napping, you heard commotion around you and the ground shaking, It annoyed you so you opened your eyes to see Mitsuba infront of you blocking rocks from falling on you
"Ow ow... Are you alright?.." He asked
.
.
.
"Why did you wake me up..."
"YOU DONT EVEN CARE—"
Tumblr media
Stealing isn't good..
Kou has always been really helpful and fun to be with!
So you decided to use up ypur saved up energy to make him something, like cookies
Chocolate chip cookoes with a marshmallow on top mhm
But the only problem was
you didn't have ingredients
but you heard the other section was gonna use the home economics room to make goods so you can just 'borrow' right?
But you couldn't do it all by yourself so you bargained with the mokkes with a bag of candy to get the things you needed
Halfway of getting the ingredients Kou caught you with your schemes
You hung your head low and also the mokke, Kou was walking around the halfway when a group of mokkes you sent out to find flour bumped into him making the mokkes freak out cause what they were carrying was a surprise for him, what happened? well the flour flew and landed on his head
and teared open
Kou sighed as he threw the wipes into the trash bin "Stealing isn't okay [F/N], and asking the Mokkes to steal for you aswell isn't great" He slightly lectured you
"I'm sorry.. You were just really fun to be with that's why I borrowed all these stuff to make you cookies.."
Kou sighed as he smiled, he can't stay mad at you "If ya wanted to make cookies you should've called me, you suck at baking"
That comment hit you straight in the chest as you pouted "Well if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise.."
Well, If you did successfully gather all the ingredients, the Home Economics room would be in ruins, so glad you didn't
Tumblr media
D-don't word it out like that..
A scene of a very flushed hanako hiding his face with his hat, and you standing clueless and confused
What happened here exactly?
Well, your back was aching that's what was happening
No one here had very strong looking hands
except for a certain toilet boy
He had long, slender, and strong looking hands
perfect to help with your aching back
But you couldn't ask him yo massage you it was embarrassing!
Like him massaging you wasn't embarrassing enough...
You peaked inside the bathroom to spot your victim playing cards on the windowsill, Hanako felt your presence and turned his head to see you
"My~ What brings you here so early hm? Couldn't wait to see me?~" Hanako flpated over to you as you eyed his hands, He followed your gaze and looked at his hands "Why whats wrong? Do you want to hold them? Oh my [F/N] you are very bol—"
"I need you to touch me."
He choked back as he swatted his hands with a big blush on his face "W-W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!?" Hanako trembled, if he tried to touch you he'd get a beating from his assistant
He's here thinking that what you meant was a rather.. Sexual request, and your out here looking for something to massage you.
You took a step forward, He took a step back.
Forward, back forward back forward, until Hanako hit his bacm on the wall and you stood infront of him "Just touch me here—"
"I-I MAY BE A P-P-PERVERT BUT THAT'S A NO" He formed his arms into an 'x' as you stood their your face slowly turning into a sad one, He freaked out as he thought about it and agreed
"F-fine.. um... w-where do you want me to t-touch.. you..." His voice getting quieter and quieter
You pointed at the book you were holding as he deadpanned "Here, it aches in this area." Hanako covered his face trying to get the dirty thoughts out of his head, god you were just asking for a massage
Hanako sat you down and started massaging your back still blushing "If you wanted a massage you could've said so... I got the wrong Idea.." He mumbled the last part
You leaned onto his chest as he looked down you fell asleep, He sighed as he patted your head "What am I gonna do with you, [F/N]?" Hanako smiles at your sleeping face turn into a smile
Not only were you sleeping peacefully as your aching back was fixed, you found yourself a new pillow.

Eau de Vie Poire
Fandom: Bleach Characters: Toushirou Hitsugaya, Karin Kurosaki, Momo Hinamori, Kisuke Urahara, Jinta Hanakari, Ururu Tsumugiya Pairings: HitsuKarin Words: 3.8k Summary: Karin got into college and Toushirou's had an okay growth spurt, so they're doing pretty good as far as he's concerned. What better Christmas present is there than boning your girl for the first time? Warnings: ABSOLUTELY shameless smut. AO3: works/52817095 A/N: HKGE 2023 gift for PinkDreamTiger on twt!
Momo's complaints become fog in the wintry air. "Lord," she says, "it's bitter today! Ugh, if spring doesn't spare us this torment...."
"You're all pink," he teases while elbowing her ribs. "Frostbite will soon take your nose."
"What? Lord, you're so mean," she hisses. "At least I don't have some freakish tolerance for this weather! Your eyelashes have frosted and you're fine with a light coat!"
He deserved that.
But he doesn't have any acerbity left inside of him. Sousuke took his sister from him for so long, destroyed reality, and replaced it with his mechanizations. It drove Momo mad for a few months. Their relationship wasn't repaired for years. But they're together again, brother and sister. It's all he wants now.
She stops outside of the Senkaimon and hugs him. "I love you, Toushirou, my brother," she says while cupping his cheeks. "I do hope you enjoy your vacation."
Toushirou hugs her. "I'll miss you, Onee. I hope you and your husband enjoy New Year's."
"We will. I'll see you next year."
"Yeah, see you next year."
It only takes him a few minutes to emerge in the World of the Living. He's met by Kisuke Urahara in his shop's otherworldly basement. Toushirou still isn't sure how he feels about Kisuke. He always gets the jeebies from Kisuke, but what unknown doesn't give anyone the jeebies? His girlfriend seems to like Kisuke and his company well enough, anyway.
"Hello, Hitsugaya-kun," Kisuke says while unfurling his fan. "Are you traveling with Jinta and Ururu today?"
"It's Hitsugaya-taichou," he says. "But yes. We agreed to go to Karin-chan's together. We're doing a gift exchange at her place."
"Ururu told me about it," Kisuke says. He claps his fan shut on his palm. "I'm just glad you all have each other. Our kids never had real friends before you and Karin-chan, you know."
Toushirou smiles. This is one of the reasons he can't bring himself to entirely hate Kisuke and his family. Yes, he's old, but living in the body of a boy forever has made him feel like a boy lost in a sea of far more experienced elders. But Jinta, Karin, and Ururu have made Toushirou feel less of an arbiter and more of an actual fucking person.
He slips into his gigai and meets Jinta and Ururu upstairs. She hugs him.
"Happy Christmas, Toushirou-kun," she says. Jinta proceeds to clap him on the back.
"Hey, man, how goes?" he says.
"Am I too early?" Toushirou asks.
"Naw," Jinta replies. "We ain't even doing, like, dinner."
"We are, she's just ordering pizza. Well, pizza and ribs," Ururu says.
Toushirou laughs. "Good by me." He definitely won't turn his nose up at home cooking, but the discovery of pizza altered his entire worldview for the better.
Apparently, it'll just be the four of them. Ururu tells him that Ichigo and his wife are seeing her family. Isshin and Yuzu are in Okinawa. Originally, Karin was supposed to join them, but couldn't schedule it around her classes. Which is fine by him. Toushirou isn't Ichigo's biggest fan. Ichigo was weird when Toushirou first started dating Karin. Were it about him being in his eighties, whereas Karin only turned eighteen in May, Toushirou would completely understand. But Ichigo seems to think Karin is in jeopardy in Toushirou's custody like he's going to deflower her. Toushirou knows he isn't a force to be reckoned with, but he's seen how Karin treats hollows and he's pretty sure Karin would snap his spine without a second thought and step over his corpse.
Karin waits outside the gateway of the Kurosaki home while tapping away on her iPhone. Once they're closer, she stands, waves, and hugs each of them.
"Hey, guys," she says. When Toushirou is kissed by her, he gets butterflies. "C'mon in. I know it isn't, like, homemade, but we don't want a repeat of the last time I tried cooking, do we?"
"I'm fine with 'za," Jinta replies.
"Agreed," Toushirou says. He's not one to turn his nose up at home-cooked meals, but the discovery of pizza altered his entire worldview for the better.
Karin dishes everyone a slice before taking a seat on the floor and adjusting her shorts. "I hope it wasn't too much trouble coming here during the holidays," she says.
"Not at all. Shit's always slow in winter. No one wants to go out when it's cold outside." Toushirou's shoulders bob while he folds his slice. "The real question is how it's going on your guys' end. I imagine the holidays are much harder as a student."
"I expected it to be harder. I'm not saying it's breezy or anything, but I'm able to pump out what I gotta to make time for myself." Karin proceeds to take a huge bite. Jinta kicks her foot under the table.
"At least you've got prospects," he says, sighing. "I think I'm doomed to work at my dads' shop for the rest of my natural life."
Toushirou cocks his eyebrow. "What? He didn't forge you guys' documents or something?"
"We haven't asked. It feels... ungrateful," Ururu says.
Jinta sighs. "Yeah. I mean... they've done lots for us." He kicks his legs onto the coffee table. "Asking 'em for a way out just feels like a massive fuck you, y'know?"
Toushirou pats his shoulder.
"Aaanyway," Karin says, "I got everyone's presents here! Hang tight. I'll grab them."
Jinta practically inhales the rest of his slice. "Hang on, I'm coming. I saw something huge in there earlier."
"I can carry it," Karin laughs.
"It's not heavy, it's just huge. You're gonna roll an ankle, man."
Toushirou stands, takes Ururu's plate, and grabs another slice for each of them. "Your brother's matured a lot."
"He has," Ururu agrees while she takes her plate. "I think having you and Karin has helped. Being konpaku divorces you from humanity, but..." she trails off while picking up her slice, and smiles. She's pretty while ruminating. Not the same way Karin is pretty. Toushirou is pretty sure Ururu isn't interested in dating men anyway. Rather, Ururu's pretty in the way serenity is pretty. The kind of pretty that makes him envious. "But having you guys makes us feel normal, y'know?"
"I do."
There comes a crash and a storm of colorful language, some of which Toushirou hasn't heard before. Jinta and Karin can be spectacularly creative with their vernacular. Toushirou and Ururu share a bemused glance before setting their food aside and journeying upstairs.
"I told you it was cumbersome," Jinta barks while he and Karin squat to pick up a dented present wrapped in red and white paper.
"Oh, shut it, dumbass! If I didn't have you to contend with, I could've done this so easily!"
"Quit arguing," Ururu groans. She strides between them and lifts it with ease Toushirou isn't sure he could accomplish with any meaningful results. Another reason to envy Ururu. It just seems to embarrass Jinta and Ururu, however.
Toushirou helps carry the rest of the presents downstairs. Karin pushes aside the table before setting the pile down and sorting through them.
"Um, okay, these two are your's, Toushirou," Karin says while she passes a pair of boxes in peppermint and pink wrapping paper. He can tell you almost instantly these were wrapped by Jinta and Ururu respectively.
It's better than Toushirou's brown paper, at least.
Karin passes out the rest of the presents before they begin opening them. Of course, Ururu starts with her enormous present, peeling off the striped paper, popping open the box, and sliding out a foam structure. She gasps and applauds.
"Oh my god, how did you get this?" she gasps as she pries a massive assault rifle out of the foam. Toushirou's jaw hits the deck.
Jinta merely sniffs with a snide smirk. "Oh, I made it. Although, Dad helped with the smaller parts. But I did the heavy lifting. He just read the instructions. We tested it and everything so it's a fully operational killing machine."
"That's a really thoughtful gift, but my dad would kill me if he found out we had a gun in here," Karin hisses. Ururu slips it into its sleeve.
Jinta receives a pair of gauges from Karin and gushes about how long he's wanted to pierce his ears, a pair of reflective sunglasses Toushirou found for him a couple of months ago, and apparently, Ururu bought him a baseball signed by someone famous as Toushirou is fairly certain sent Jinta straight to Heaven. Ururu's remaining gifts are necklaces he bought at a flea market and a pearl-handle knife from Karin. Toushirou becomes increasingly concerned by the amount of weapons Ururu has amassed today alone.
Karin makes Toushirou open his presents next. Jinta and Ururu bought him a spectacular tapestry of dragons.
"The authenticator-guy said it's a relic from the seventeen hundreds. We saw it and it was so you," Ururu explains.
"I'm surprised you could even afford this," he says.
"The vendor owed our family a favor, so he was happy to discount it," Jinta says while he rolls it and drops it into the tube.
Karin is beaming when he opens her present. It's a ring box with a trio of rings. By far, his favorite is the dragon head in silver. Hyourinmaru is even pleased, purring within him like a cat.
He's never considered accessorizing, but this changes his mind with this.
"Oh, wow," he says, slipping them onto his fingers and watching them glint in the overhead lights, "this is... these are spectacular, babe."
"I'm glad you like them," Karin replies. She's practically glowing and it's making him flutter. "I was worried they wouldn't be your thing, but Ururu said they'd still be nice decorative pieces, if you so chose."
"I love them," he promises.
He loves her more than anything, he thinks.
Eventually, they begin chatting. Jinta and Ururu excuse themselves later in the evening, leaving him and Karin alone in the home. Perhaps it's the hormones of nascent manhood, but it gives him ideas that set his heart pounding.
Karin slips onto his lap and folds her alabaster legs one over the other. His hand lays on her thigh while she kisses him.
Can she feel his heart pounding? The thought makes him paranoid.
"I'm glad you got to come today," she says. Her elbow lays on the cushion and she sets her temple on her fist. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," he replies. Her eyes are steel gray but somehow soft. He could swim in them like mercury. "I love you."
Karin kisses him. Her arms fall around his shoulders. It makes him inflate. She laughs while he adjusts his hips. It makes him worry he's inadequate.
"What?" he says.
"Nothing," Karin promises. Her hand falls down his neck and chest while they resume kissing. Her lips are soft, and her tongue laps at his lips.
Frenching once sounded unappealing, but as Karin presses past his teeth, he wants to smack his past self for being a goddamn fool.
They fall onto his back. Toushirou's fingers find her knees and pull them towards his pits so her pelvis lays flat on his lap. She giggles.
"What?" he croaks. Karin kisses his jaw and hums.
"You've just got wood."
"I-Is it, like, small or something?"
"Not at all." Karin sits up. Her nails scrape down the front of his shirt and it makes him buck. He wants to take it off so he can feel it on his skin entirely uninterrupted. He's stopped when Karin's fingers loop under the hem of her shirt. He's so excited he's almost sick. Almost. When she whips off her shirt, revealing a sports bra pressing her tits up and in, he salivates, but she's far from finished.
"H-hang on," she says. "This is always the hard part..." It takes her a minute to pull off her bra. Her shoulder pops as she pulls it off her bulbous chest and she grunts while pushing it over her head. Her breasts fall over her ribs, nearly reaching her navel. Her nipples are milk chocolate on her breasts. He reaches to pet its peak with his knuckle, and throbs under her pussy when meeting her soft flesh billowing around him.
"God, you're gorgeous," he remarks airily. It's like a dream here.
Karin smiles. "I figured you'd enjoy yourself."
She dips and kisses him again. Her hair falls around their face and he hugs her, flattening her breasts against his, drawing his fingers up and down the dimple of her spine. She hums and purrs.
"I should probably take you upstairs," he says. He kisses her neck before digging his teeth in. Karin's moan echoes against the walls. "This can't be comfortable for your back."
"Okay," she says.
It's a little awkward trying to stand up with her in his lap, but he's able to carry her by the backs of her thighs while they giggle and race upstairs. Toushirou fumbles with her doorknob before Karin reaches behind her and opens it herself. He stumbles inside and falls hard onto her mattress which squeals like a rodent beneath their descent, but she kisses him and keeps her legs loop around his hips, grinding his length against her while he's tongued.
"Sweet lord," he shudders. There's no way he can keep up like this. Her crotch makes his underwear sticky with precum, and he can already see himself driving into her pussy while her eyes roll back in her head and her tits rock like the tide.
Toushirou sinks to his knees in front of the bed. Her legs pull his shirt up to his pits until Karin apologizes and unhooks him. He whips it off and tosses it to one side.
With her legs open, Toushirou unties her shorts. Karin lifts her hips up while he pulls them down past her knees. He kisses the inside of her knee while she pulls her feet out and she giggles.
The exterior doesn't look like anything he imagined. He knows a lot of girls shave, but he didn't anticipate there there being two sets of lips, let alone the inside lips are longer than the outside lips. He pushes it apart with his thumbs and finds two holes, which makes way less gross than peeing and fucking with the same hole. When he kisses the exterior, it's a little prickly, on the outside, but the inside is smooth, plush, and wet. Toushirou is reminded here that he genuinely has no fucking clue what he's doing, but he hikes her legs over his shoulders, draws his tongue up and down the inside of her lips, and hopes for the best. 
It's a strange taste. Not something he dislikes, but not something he's going out of his way for. Now, the way she shudders and slips her fingers in his hair is something he'll be coming back for time and again.
Karin says, "You're too low," and her fingers slip under his chin. She lifts him to an inflamed piece of her cunt. "Concentrate on-- oh god," she says.
He gets the point. Toushirou eagerly laps at the swollen hood of her clit and wants so badly to stroke himself but finds himself lacking while multitasking. He can come later. Right now, he just wants to see Karin squirming in ecstasy.
"Yesss," she says while pushing him by the back of his head against her. "Oh, baby, you're-- oh god," Karin's side curls towards her hips. One of her hands covers her mouth while she moans. He grabs her wrist and pries it off her. Instead, she props herself on her elbows and shakes. "Oh, that's good honey, that's good..."
He could purr like a cat now. Her approval has always given him stirrings, but this makes him drip.
"Keep it up, just like that," she says. He picks up the pace and she smacks him. "I didn't say faster, I said to-- ohhh, you're a quick study, Toushirou, you're a-- oh my god--"
She falls onto her back and her legs extend. He knows she said to keep doing as he was, but he pushed up her hood with his thumb to reveal the head of her clit and rubs it with his tongue. She pushes him hard against her, fingers splayed against the back of his head like she palms a basketball, and pleads, screams, for him to keep going until her breath is gone and all that's left are long moans. She writhes as he rides through her climax, milking it for everything, for every appraisal he'll receive once she finishes.
She pushes him off her cunt and he catches strings of her orgasm before licking his lips. She bites her lip with a heady gaze. "That... that was... wow," she says. His chest swells and he smirks. "Go rinse your mouth out. We're not finished."
Toushirou wants to keep the taste a little longer, but he's beholden to Karin's orders, functionally enslaved to her whims. He rinses his mouth before blotting his face dry and staring at his erection in the mirror in the bathroom. There's a wet trickle meandering towards his sac. He's got no idea where this is going but likes it. She could collar him and he'd be damn grateful.
He returns to Karin's bedroom to find her on all fours with her ass in the air. Toushirou runs his fingers through his hair and turns away with a string of swears.
He definitely could've seen this coming, and it's something he wants, but this is his first time. He knows from whatever gross boy-talk from the academy and the office that men don't last long. She's way out of his league and this is probably the most terrifying thing to end tonight would be to come prematurely. And, yeah, she's come already, and he's definitely going to come, but it seems unfair to take a pounding and not get anything out of it.
Karin finds him outside the door. Her eyebrows are upturned. "Did I come on too strongly?" she asks.
"What? No," he replies, "I'm just... really, really close to finishing and it's... it's embarrassing."
"Don't be embarrassed," she says. Her palm glides across his shoulders. "It's... I mean, I've fingered myself, but it hasn't really gone anywhere. This is for you, honey. I wanna fuck you."
He blows air through his lips. He knows she doesn't mean to, but there is something spectacularly seductive about how it's said. Maybe it's the candor.
He kisses her before she pushes him inside. Karin pulls him onto her like a blanket. They part from their kisses, only briefly, so Toushirou can feel for her entrance with the head of his cock in hand. He thinks he's found it for a moment and slides forward, but it's only her lips and she laughs when he slips onto her pubic bone. It makes him hot with shame.
"Hey, it's okay, here." Karin folds her knees to her chest. It spreads her and gives him better access. Toushirou is easily able to slip inside of her.
The clinical technicalities are easily described. She's soaking wet and pillowy. The feeling, on the other hand, is ineffable. He moans as warmth and relief and need overcomes him, and inadvertently gyrates. Toushirou has to anchor himself on his forearms on either side of her head and take a breather.
"Are you okay?" she asks.
"Better than okay, I'm just trying not to come just yet," he says as he lays his forehead on her breast. The hum Karin utters gives him the impression she's impatient and his performance anxiety returns.
He kisses her with tongue and slowly rolls his hips forward. Her splayed hands run down his spine and onto his buttocks, where her fingers and nails dig crescents into him. He pushes his weight onto his hands to free his bottom side of his weight for thrust. The friction of pistoning into her is ecstasy. Toushirou moans, hard, basking in her. Karin's hands float onto the back of his shoulders and she joins in Toushirou's noise-making. He parts to see her eyes have shut.
"Harder," Karin tells him, and it sends electricity down his spine. Toushirou picks up the pace and the sound of clapping flesh-on-flesh and the squeal of her box spring.
"God, yes," Karin hisses. Her arms fall back, so Toushirou pins her legs up by the backs of her knees and resumes. His back and abs burn, but god, does he feel great. He feels his orgasm build and coil inside of his pelvis. "Oh, don't fucking stop, Toushirou, you're-- oh god," she continues while writhing. Karin founds herself while her eyelids flutter. Her gorgeous, steel-gray irises have rolled into the back of her head.
The visage makes him snap and he shakes. For a moment, his rhythm stutters while ejaculating. It's like high tide overcomes him, an orgasm better than whatever mediocre results onanism gives him. But he can't stop. At minimum, he wants the bragging rights to making her come twice in less than ten minutes, and be able to prove it to a skeptical audience.
For the second time that night, Karin tremors and chokes and utters long, deep, hoarse moans, as musical as her squealing bedsprings. She's shivering around him, milking his cock, and it's like a dam breaks.
He tries to keep pace while spilling into her, so Karin's orgasms can be as good as his is, because it's magical. It's the best thing he's felt in years.
It ends. He falls onto her mattress and pants like he ran a marathon. Karin swings her arm over him and kisses his eyelids.
"You're a fucking Olympian," she giggles while turning onto her back. He likes how her breasts jiggle.
"I'm surprised I lasted as long as I did," he confesses while rubbing his cheek against her pillow. Her praise makes him flutter inside. "The fuck did we wait so long to do this?"
"Oh, I would've been so bad."
"The great part of owning a pussy is the impossibility of being bad in bed from what I've been told."
She laughs. "Fair enough... let's wash up. I need to run out for some morning-after pills."
He looks down at his flaccid penis. "Does this even, like, work like that?"
"Good point. I'm not sure... I'll ask Urahara-san. Can you start the bath for me while I call?"
It feels weird to talk to Kisuke about their sex life, but there's no one else to ask, so he starts the bath. She comes back a few minutes later and pulls her hair tie out and shakes out her hair. She's beautiful like this, he thinks. He'll never understand why men complain about their wives. Karin kisses him, tells him he doesn't have any potency, and Toushirou's pretty certain he wouldn't care either fucking way, because this woman is the one of his dreams.

hot take but I'm still all-in on Mitsuba having the original No.3's yorishiro.
I feel like a lot of readers really underestimate how much of Mitsuba is the original No.3. He doesn't just eat No.3's heart: it becomes part of him, and he immediately starts echoing exactly the the same wish that No.3 was soon before.

This wish didn't come from Mitsuba Sousuke, it came from No.3, and it's continued to be Mitsuba's driving motivation for 76 chapters now.
In addition, I think it's been pretty strongly implied that whatever was left of Mitsuba Sousuke's mind passed on during the schism, so at this point our Mitsuba is 100% bird-impersonating-boy.
I don't think that we were shown No.3's yorishiro during the Hell of Mirrors arc (along with being told exactly how to reach it) just for it to never have any sort of importance. I feel pretty confident that this arc will see us returning to Hell of Mirrors and finally getting No.3 backstory.

    𓏲࣪ 𓆤  ˒˒  ๑  mitsuba Sousuke ﹏  . 🥡 ੭
• The first time yall met , he made fun of you 💀
• " Why dont you talk? Are you a mute or something? Its because you're standing in front of such a cute apparition huh?"
• he'll get used to this behavior eventually, but he always pokes and makes comments in hopes youll talk to him.
• oddly enough, hes adapted to your quiet and calm nature. He finds it comforting even if you dont talk back. Dont worry he'll talk for you !
• the first time he sees you flip a coin , hes curious and weirded out. Who flips a coin to decide something??
• he'll ask you about it a lot.
• eventually he falls in love with you and now he's extra curious about what you sound like. He's also more shy but clingy.
• He'll constantly ask you about the coin and hug you
• You DO reveal your voice eventually! When Mitsuba heard it the first time he was shocked. Your voice was so soft and gentle! He loved it though he'd never tell you.
• he tries to compliment you , but it always comes out as an insult. Thank god you understand him and can decipher what hes saying.
• what he didnt know was how strong of a fighter you were! The first time you met Hanako, you floored him 💀 it was just because you thought he was a threat to Mitsuba. You're like his protecter.
• Mitsuba was kind of afraid to anger you now 😪 but he was also impressed. He was proud but didnt say it you could just tell.
• if you have Kanao's eye color, he'll like looking at them. They're just so pretty and calming.
• sometimes he'll snatch your coin and hide it so you'd play scavenger hunt. It makes Mitsuba chuckle.
• basically , Mitsuba thinks youre precious and admires you a lot. He'll tey his best to look after you from Tsukasa you're his precious s/o.
Tumblr media
    𓏲࣪ 𓆤  ˒˒  ๑  Kou Minamoto ﹏  . 🥡 ੭
- he finds you cute! Blushes a lot just because you look so sweet and gentle.
- your eyes (if you have Kanao's eye color) are his favorite thing to look at. He feels warm inside every time. Your gentleness radiates through you.
- he also doesn't mind your quietness and won't push you to talk. He'll be glad to hold the conversation for you. If other people talk to you , he'll be there to talk for you.
- he'll be extra protective over you... mostly from Hanako. The ghost is just too handsy and nobody is gonna touch Kou's s/o like that.
- when he sees you flip a coin to decide something , he'll find it unique. He'll also encourage you to think for yourself it's okay! Very gentle about it.
- Kou was as red as a tomato the first time he heard ypu speak. It was just too precious. He'll ask you to talk again just to hear you.
- affection and skinship? He'll do it, but he'll be shy about it. He loves to hold your hand or sleeve though. He'll also link pinkies with you. He'll give you hugs. If you give HIM a hug? He'll get flustered.
- the first time he saw you fight was when Teru tried to exorcise Hanako and injured Kou in the process. You didnt hesitate to go up against him. You moved so quick it was difficult to see clearly. It ended with Teru pinned to thr ground.
- Kou was in awe at your strength. He felt so proud, yet slightly guilty because his s/o beat up his brother.
- even though you can take care of yourself , Kou has already decided to be your protecter wherever you go. He's q good boyfriend.
- overall , he'll do anything to keep you safe , he loves you so much you're his beloved s/o. He's very loyal and caring.
Tumblr media
    𓏲࣪ 𓆤  ˒˒  ๑  Aoi Akane ﹏  . 🥡 ੭
- you're precious to him period. He finds you so cute and gentle.
- he wouldn't mind you not talking , though he's sad that you're not saying anything.
- blushy boy. He's always blushing around you and being shy. You're just too cute.
- simp. He'll simp for you a lot! Need something? He'll go get it. Want someone to carry your bag? He's on it. This boy will go beyond for you.
- constantly asking you out. Like with Aoi, he'll ask you to date and marry him 😪
- you never respond and instead smile warmly. It makes him even more determined to get a verbal response from you.
- he'll leave small things on your desk in hopes of winning you over, like snacks! He notices how you love butterflies so expect butterfly accessories!
- the first time he saw you flip a coin was when he asked you out again. He was very curious as to why you do it.
- he asks about it. You don't respond but he's smart enough to figure out that's how you decide things. It makes him love you even more.
- whne you FINALLY say yes to his constant courting , he cries 😭 like happy tears. He'll also simp over your voice. It's so sweet and gentle and kind! Please talk to him some more he loves your voice!
- protective x10 . Ain't no way someone like Hanako is coming near you , or Teru. He has nothing against Teru , but he doesn't want you falling for the prince.
- he'll constantly be touching you. This includes holding pinkies , holding hands , grabbing you sleeve , wrist shoulder. He's just a touchy person.
- if someone dares bully you for your quietness and coin flipping? He'll fight them. Square up right now.
- better yet , there was one time that someone made fun of Akane and you pretty much demolished that person 💀 got in trouble for physical fighting but it was worth it.
- Akane fell even more in love if that was possible 😭
- overall , he'll be the number one boyfriend! Lots or cuddles , clingyness , sweet flirting and gift giving. He's also your protecter.
Tumblr media
- another person that's kind. She'll think you're the best thing that's happened to her. She'll constantly hug you she judt can't get enough.
- head pats. I head canon she has 'cute aggression' where sometimes your cuteness is too much for her that she's a little too smothering. Hugs you too tight 😭 kisses your face A LOT . Please she's precious.
- your gentle and kind aura is addicting to her. She'll always be with you because you just have that warm aura she loves. It makes her happy.
- the first time she sees you flip a coin, she understands. she may not know the backstory , but she understands not being able to decide.
- She'll paint it for you! Or she'll buy a beautiful coin to replace yours. Only the best for you.
- she desperately wishes to hear your voice :( it makes her sad when you don't.
- When you do she blushes and her heart melts. Cue the cute aggression again TT talk to her a lot she'll love it.
- when you show her you can fight , she'll be in awe. She'll fall more in love with you! She'll lrt you protect her from anything and everything.
- you have a strong mind and spirit , one that she admires. Number six? Nah she'll marry you 😪 that's guaranteed.
- you're the best thing that's happened to her. She'll gift you butterfly accessories. Sometimes she'll capture REAL butterflies for you! The prettiest ones!
- Calls you her butterfly
- overall, she's perfect for you and vice versa.

I was wondering what you'd think the boys' voices would sound like
character voice claims
ooo i love this one!! i worked hard on this lol this is all just my opinion, as per usual, so if anyone has different ideas i'd love to hear them!!
on a more solemn note, this is gonna be short. something came up in my relationship and i think we're on a break?? idk, all i know is i miss him and my heart hurts lol
genre: other
cw: none
Lucia
❧ the brothers all share one voice trait in common: they got that pretty boy, kinda whiny, a little bit voice cracky, breathy kinda voice
❧ he has a voice similar to childe (genshin impact): it's confident, clear, and has the qualities listed above, very much pretty boy and prideful
Levy
❧ usually has a clear and calm manner of speaking, but when he gets flustered or embarrassed his voice cracks and his tone shifts like crazy
❧ he has a voice like byakuya (danganronpa: trigger happy havoc): smart, know-it-all tone while also still having that easily annoyed tone, only i think levy's voice would be slightly less deep
Mefy
❧ he has 3 main manners of speech that can switch up at the drop of a hat: chipper, mean, and bored; and he's very good at controlling his tone level
❧ he has a voice similar to wanderer (genshin impact): condescending while light and airy, but with less rasp; our boy drinks water frfr
Oswald
❧ deeper voice but definitely not corpse deep, and he manages to not be very loud; he speaks in a soft, indoor volume, it's very dreamy
❧ he has a voice similar to sousuke yamazaki (free! series): i can't not hear ian sinclair's voice with this character, but ignore that and you get the picture; it's deep and suitable for a big tall man, but not overwhelmingly scary
Kaim
❧ he's got a total high class, almost cocky tone; one sentence out of this man and you know he's intelligent and classier than you. so it goes without saying that
❧ he has a voice like any j michael tatum character, i especially picture sebastian michaelis: prim and proper while still being cocky enough to show some personality
Mikael
❧ another prim and proper yet still cocky guy, only he is much worse at hiding his emotions with his tone
❧ he has a voice similar to the actor dan stevens (downton abbey): i can't decide if his voice would be deeper or the same pitch, but he's definitely got that snarkiness in his voice while still having a charming air to it
Ricardo
❧ he's got a cocky, deeper pretty boy voice and i hate him for it. it's the kind of voice that immediately gets anyone hooked on him, and he definitely knows how to use it
❧ he has a voice like flynn rider (tangled): i hate to say that, i love flynn rider, but they share that charming, cocky, carefree tone, very casanova of them
Noel
❧ one of the lightest pitch voices, on par with mefy, which really hints at his youthfulness and even his naivety, but even still you can hear exhaustion in his voice from how much he's been through
❧ he has a voice similar to albedo (genshin impact): breathy, light, monotonous, and blunt. very pretty boy but without the whiny, voice crackiness the brothers share
Lucas
❧ does it even need any introduction
❧ he has a voice similar to howl pendragon (howl's moving castle): personally, i thought christian bale's voice was too deep and didn't match how howl looked, but why not apply that decision to our lovely lucas as well. may as well say it would be a higher pitch though, just to be safe
Kurt
❧ a child, his voice is so youthful and full of the voice cracks, and therefore
❧ his voice is similar to rowley jefferson (diary of a wimpy kid): don't call me, don't come by my house, we're done

Love for Yashiro Nene ⍣ ೋ
3/6
← →
Sousuke Mitsuba
Yashiro doesn't know about the human Mitsuba who died, but she does know of the person who’s left of him, the second Mitsuba. That Mitsuba and her are not close friends, but they had their moments. In the Hell of Mirror arc, they were pretty comedic. Yashiro tries to show herself off as the cute senpai Mistuba can look up to, whilst he constantly teases her about her ankles. And then into the Picture Perfect arc they were still pretty fine.
Tumblr media
He and Yashiro do overlap often however, more specifically with their relationships wth Kou and Hanako respectively. Both Kou and Hanako have a habit of doing everything themselves, not listening to others and going on impulse. This affects Yashiro and Mitsuba, as they don’t want them to do this and even get hurt in the process, but they just won’t listen. These parallels run even deeper in the coming chapters as Kou becomes more and more like Hanako.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shijima Mei
Shijima Mei, not the supernatural, only has her appearance in the Picture Perfect arc, and that’s all the screen time she gets, but her impact is still pretty significant, it can also extend to Yashiro. Together Yashiro and Mei are an earnest couple. With Yashiro’s silly and extreme self mixed in with Mei’s curious and determined self, they are fun to read.
Mei’s resolve also parallels Yashiro's. All Mei really wants to do is make the most of her life, to experience everything it has to offer. Mei is, by definition, a damsel in distress. A bedridden girl with only her pencil and sketchbook to keep her company. Yet she still wants to live. Her will can align with Yashiro as she also doesn’t have much to live for, but she carries on. Infact, right after Yashiro meets Mei she comes up with this resolution and gives herself purposes outside of romance. When Yashiro asks if she’s scared, she is, but she continues to pursue a bountiful life.
Tumblr media
Mei is significant in the way that she gave Yashiro the idea of turning up her little life not to some evil sea witch or prince, but for herself.
Hyuuga Natsuhiko
At first, Hyuuga Natsuhiko was somebody who Yashiro thought of to be her type, but she was promptly proven wrong as he kidnaps her and gets stuck in a boundary with him. He is also very flirtatious and makes moves on her and on other women despite his infatuation with Sakura. In a way his a counterpart to Teru, they may have been Yashiro’s crush for a while and be popular, but Teru’s a lot more genuine than Natsuhiko. He cares for others and is pretty reliable, not much to say for Natsuhiko though.
Tumblr media
Amane Tsukasa
Amane Tsukasa is the main antagonist of the manga. He is childish, immature, and doesn’t care for the people he hurts. So Yashiro does not like him one bit, in fact, she fears him. Tsukasa has been emphasized to be pure evil, or at least a being that comes from it. He is what it means to be a supernatural, and not care for humans nor supernatural. All he really cares about is granting wishes and his twin brother. They don’t have many interactions, but they are connected in the aspect of Hanako and the Kannagi. Hanako is self explanatory, yet for the Kannagi, Yashiro visits the red house where we see Tsukasa, the little boy who dies, and later the Kannagi.
Tumblr media
Nanamine Sakura
Out of everyone, Nanamine Sakura is more keen on Yashiro Nene. She is the only one Nanamine says she wishes to be friends with. According to Natsuhiko, she doesn’t say her feelings out front most of the time, but she does with Yashiro. She is especially kind to her as well. When she had to drown in the Tea Party arc there’s a chance that she might’ve sent down Natsuhiko with her, not because she’s annoyed with him per say, but she knew he would at least protect her. Together with how in the later chapters, she gives Yashiro information and tries (and fails) to joke around with her. Nanamine also read books about how to get along with her juniors aka Yashiro.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Between Yashiro and Nanamine, there’s also a sort of understanding. They are both working for an Amane twin, and are regarded as priestesses. Their job is hard and tiring so talking to one and another helped make it a little better. Nanamine Sakura spreads harmful rumors to the Seven Wonders, whilst Yashiro Nene makes new and friendly ones. Nanamine has to use a broadcast to change one’s perception of the Seven Wonders aka using rumors. Yashiro also has the ability, except she doesn’t need a broadcast to get the word out.
Tumblr media
Strangely enough the similaires even reach to their designs. Both of them have high stockings, a brooch, bangs, and their hair tied together in the sides of their hair.

TBKH CHARACTERS WITH A HYBRID!S/O
Hello! Thank you for reading, I'm making this because I simply want to. These hc's + one shots are written to be romantic, but can be interpreted platonically. Reader is gender neutral!
Warnings: pure fluff, might be suggestive in some parts. Reader has ears and a tail.
On with the story...
Tumblr media
Hanako kun (amane yugi)
This boy, gosh, where do I start with him
He *adores* your ears and tail, and often gives you nicknames based off of which animal you stem from (ex. Kitty, foxy, puppy, ect ect..)
It also gives him an advantage teasing you because even with a poker face, he can tell your reaction by your ears twitching
"oh would you look at you, what a fluffy thing you are," hanako says, flying above you, "You are so adorable, you know that?" You tried to keep a straight face, but your tail and ears didn't think the same. "Awww, you look so cute like that, kitty!"
Tumblr media
Yashiro Nene
Oh my gosh, this girl would be freaking out
With how fluffy you are, how could she not?
When she first saw you, she thought she was dreaming
"gorgeous person, with fluffy ears?!"
Be prepared to catch her, she's gonna pass out most likely
Yashiro walked into the bathroom, prepared to clean again. Her gaze is met by hanako, and a fluffy animal-person. "WAIT WHA-!" Yashiro yelled before nearly falling to the ground, only to be caught by you. When she woke up she apologized profusely, only to forget about it within 5 seconds. "I'm so sorry for passing out on you, wait OHMIGOSHYOURSOFLUFFYPLEASECANUPETYOU-" (oh my gosh your so fluffy please can I pet you). You nodded. Ever since then, yashiro has been petting you as a greeting.
Tumblr media
Kou Minamoto
This boy first saw you, bless his soul, he thought you were an appriatian
Poor boy was ready to exorcise you
You had to rush to explain to him, you weren't meant to be excorsied
Once he calmed down, his situation set in
"why is there a fluffy animal-person Infront of me"
He decided to just go with it
You two are sweet together, he protects you like an older brother, even if you're older than him
Kou walked down the hallway after school got out. The hallways was lit by the golden sun, and he could make out a figure in the distance. "Head, arms, legs, ears,tail," he thought to himself, "WAIT EARS AND A TAIL?!" he yelled. You looked at him. You had forgotten about your ears and tail for a second, lazily swaying as you looked out the window. "HEY YOU! PREPARE TI BE EXCORSIED BY THE ONE AND ONLY KOU MINAMOTO!" You looked at him in confusion and then said to him "Why would you exorcise me? I'm not an apparition," you stated calmly. Kou was thrown off by your calming aura and decided to take you to hanako.
Tumblr media
Teru Minamoto
teru was worried at first when he saw you with kou
"why is my little brother with an apparition?"
He soon saw how relaxed kou was, and decided not to panic
He then took a good look at you and saw one thing
FLUFFY PERSON
He found you absolutely adorable
Teru went to find his brother, only to find him with what he thought was an apparition. "KOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING-" he yelled. You and kou looked up at the eldest Minamoto with confused expressions. "Hey bro! I made friends with this cool person with animal like features, say hi Y/N!", Kou states. "Hello! You must be kou's older brother," you stook out a pawed hand for him to shake, "it's nice to meet you!" Teru took your hand, or paw in this context, and shook it gently. "Hello there, Y/N! Nice to meet you!" Teru said with a smile. The rest was history between you two.
Tumblr media
Mitsuba Sousuke
When mitsuba first saw you, he instantly thought one thing
"I wanna take a picture of them.."
He was entranced by the fluff of your ears and the way your tail swayed
He had a lot of thoughts racing through his head seeing you
Like, for example
"wow, they're really pretty"
"I want to pet them"
"they're so fluffy"
He chose to silence most of them though
But he did talk to you
You were on the balcony, looking around at the dusk sky. The orange of the sun and the purple hue of the night coming in, and the astonishing amber in the middle, what was there not to love? Mitsuba has heard that there would be a particularly beautiful sunset today, so he went to go take some pictures. He didn't know, however, that there would be an even more beautiful sight than the sky out there. Mitsuba saw you and gripped his camera tighter. He felt a strange aura coming from you, one of tranquility, and peace. He had a rush of thoughts come into his head, but one made its way to the front. "I want to take a picture of you," he found himself saying, "your unique appearance would make for a beautiful picture." You turned around, to be greeted by a cute, pink haired boy. "Yes," you spoke, "there's no harm in a few pictures!" The rest of the golden hour consisted of camera shudders going off, and a nice breeze going through your fur as you took pictures.
Tumblr media
Tsukasa Yugi
Tsukasa told Sakura to bring you to him once he had one look at you
The way your tail bobbed as you walked past, the way your ears swayed
He wanted nothing more than a cup of tea with you
When he saw you, his first reaction was
"pet the fluffy"
So he did
It made for a rather awkward interaction, but it was still enjoyable
Since that one day, he kept petting you, like hanako
"Sakura," tsukasa's voice called out, "can you bring someone here for tea?" She brought you in. When tsukasa looked at you, his first thoughts were "pet the fluffy." Since tsukasa is tsukasa, he did just that. Tsukasa walked up to you and had reached a hand out to your ears, and ruffled the fur. His expression had gone from playful to shock from how fluffy you were. Sakura guided you to a chair and poured you a cup of tea. "Hey fluffy, what's your name," tsukasa spoke," I wanna get to know you!" "Well then, my name is Y/N, and since I'm here, I have no choice but to get to know you as well!"
Tumblr media
I'm afraid this is the end of this fic, thank you so much for reading this! Good bye, and have a wonderful life!

Kou, supernaturals and red herrings
Or, Six was a red herring, Kou is going to replace another School Mystery and other smaller musings.
Warning: Not spoiler-free, this theory was mostly developed upon chapter 90’s release, but it has spoilers up to chapter 94. Also, it is ridiculously long.
Read more under the cut
Kou becoming a supernatural has been theorized for quite a while, and as of chapter 90, most expected (still expect?) Kou to take Shinigami’s place as Mystery no. 6.
I, however, thought it was a little bit odd- why would Six suddenly vanish and be replaced by Kou when a reunion between him and Sumire was often hinted at in previous chapters? And although Kou becoming (or at least trying to become) a supernatural was not by any means unexpected, I had my doubts about him being the new no. 6, even if I could not put my finger on why…
After pondering on it a little, I realized what it was: we got the wrong mystery!
Rather than no. 6, Kou is going to become the new no. 2! Or, well, he’ll try to and fail, or he’ll become bound to Yako/make a contract with her.
Here, I’ll try to examine the patterns concerning the Seven Mysteries, which includes their names and first appearances, some of the lore we got about humans either being bound to a supernatural or becoming one, and how this information could be interpreted into foreshadowing about Kou turning into a supernatural (specifically, No. 2).
Also, for clarity’s sake, I’ll be referring to the Original No. 3 as such, the current No. 3 as Mitsuba and his living/original counterpart as Sousuke. Likewise, mystery No. 4 will be referred as Shijima and her creator/living counterpart as Mei. Akane (boy) and Aoi (girl) will be referred by their first names.
1. What’s in a number?
The Seven Mysteries are each assigned a number, which are also often referred to as “seats” throughout the series. And, as many have noticed already, these characters are quite connected to their number: maybe it’s in their names, maybe it’s the chapter they first appear.  That’s what we’ll examine in this section!
1. 1 ) First appearances and chapter number
Upon some re-reading, I noticed something really interesting: all mysteries we’ve seen so far (with the exception of Hanako) have first appeared, in some way or another, in a chapter corresponding to their seat number!
Starting with the obvious, Mitsuba (the one “created” by Tsukasa, and which would go on to become the new No. 3) first appears at the end of chapter 30!
Tumblr media
Shijima (or rather her… paint clone, as we later learn) first appears at the end of chapter 40:
Tumblr media
Shinigami makes his first appearance at the end of chapter 60:
Tumblr media
Hanako, obviously, first appears in chapter 1. Instead, the one who first appears at the end of chapter 7 is none other than Sakura:
Tumblr media
And, considering the reveal that she might have had a hand in assigning the seats to the Seven Mysteries, makes this very fitting. Whether that means she was formerly No. 7 or not, remains to be seen.
Akane doesn’t make a full appearance, but he does have a pretty neat cameo in chapter 1!
Tumblr media
I mean, Kou kinda does too, but…
Tumblr media
Akane’s more visibly distinct. Not to mention, unlike Kou, who was chatting with his brother, the only other relevant character in the first chapter other than Hanako and Nene, Akane doesn’t really interact with any of them in a meaning way. So other than fitting into this particular pattern, there was no reason for him to appear here.
Tsuchigomori first appears in chapter 11. However, it’s in chapter 5 that we first hear the idea of a supernatural being a teacher…
Tumblr media
…which is exactly what Tsuchigomori turns out to be!
Finally, Yako first appears in chapter 5 (or maybe even chapter 4, if you consider the introduction of her rumor as her debut). However, if you pay attention, a good part of the later half of chapter 2 takes place near stairs:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And who is it that appears at the end of chapter 2, atop (sorta) the stairs? None other than our dear young exorcist, Kou:
Tumblr media
A few notes:
So far, most of the mysteries/characters that appeared at the end of a chapter corresponding their ‘number’ have had a wish granted by Tsukasa: Shijima, Sakura and Mitsuba. Shinigami’s character arc seems to be leaning towards him understanding his own desires, whereas little Tsukasa has witnessed plenty of Kou’s desires in the Red House.
Akane first appears in chapter 1, but is only revealed as a school mystery at the end of chapter 24. Mirai first appears in chapter 25 and Kako, in chapter 27. Their rumor is introduced in chapter 23.
Sumire first appears in chapter 66.
Looking at these, I predict that Mirai and Kako will reappear at the end of chapter 100. So, for you Clock Keeper fans out there... it might take a while. EDIT (16/03/23): whelp, this is now jossed. That said, it just occurred to me, that, since there’s 3 of them (two full kaii and Akane who’s borrowing their powers), they could reappear in chapter 101 or chapter 111. (lol)
1. 2) Names, titles and numbers
This is another one people have noticed. Some characters have their seat numbers in their names. Sorta. Others… it’s a little more subtle.
Let’s start again with the most obvious one: Mitsuba Sousuke (三葉惣助) has 'mitsu' (三) in his name, the kanji for ‘three’.
Similarly, Shijima Mei (四島芽衣) has 'shi/yon' (四) in her name, the kanji for ‘four’.
Curiously, both of them and their living/human counterparts are referred to differently:
Sousuke is referred in the manga as Mitsuba (三葉) using kanji. However, Mitsuba the supernatural/’artificial ghost’ is referred as ‘Mitsuba’ (ミツバ) with katakana.
It’s the same with Shijima Mei. Mei is referred as Shijima (四島), whereas No. 4 is referred as ‘Shijima-san’ (シジマ).
Mitsuba and Shijima could both be considered as “creations”- Shijima was created by Mei as her ideal self, and Mitsuba was ‘created’ by Tsukasa, in the sense that Tsukasa gave Mitsuba his new body and powers. Or perhaps, we could look at them as neither 'human' nor 'supernatural', but maybe something in-between. Either way, it’s interesting that they share this pattern.
Both Sakura and Nene are similar cases. Sakura’s full name is Nanamine Sakura (七峰桜) and has 'nana' (七) the kanji for ‘seven’. Nene’s full name is Yashiro Nene (八尋寧々) and has 'ya/hachi' (八) the kanji for ‘eight’.
Curiously, both of their names are often written in katakana when said by Tsukasa and Hanako. As in, instead of Yashiro (八尋), Hanako calls her ‘Yashiro’ (ヤシロ). And with Tsukasa, instead of Sakura (桜), he calls her ‘Sakura’ (サクラ).
(Basically, Nene and Sakura share the same pattern as Shijima and Mitsuba. What does that mean? Well, we have yet to see.)
But what about the others, you’re probably wondering- these are the only characters with numbers in their names, after all! And only Mitsuba and Shijima are official school mysteries!
Well, yes, but it doesn’t mean the names and numbers aren't connected!
Tsuchigomori does not have the kanji for ‘five’ (五) in his name, as it is written (土籠龍仁郎), read: Tsuchigomori Ryūjirou. However, the ‘go’ in his name might still be a reference to his seat number, as it’s phonetically the same. Other than that, his name is likely a reference to the “Tsuchigumo” spider-demon, considering he’s a spider-demon himself.
Why is that relevant? Well, “Tsuchigumo” is also the name of a Noh play, and is categorized as a "5th thing of Noh" type of play. So, either way, there’s a connection to the number 5.
Hakubo/Shinigami is an interesting case, in that both his name and what he's first referred as, other than his seat number, are connected to the number 6.
His title of “Shinigami-sama (死神様)” can refer to the number 6 in two ways: 1) it is believed that, in order to cross the Sanzu River and reach afterlife, one must pay the toll of six mon.
Tumblr media
Or, it can refer to the performance, “Shinchuuha ha Koori no Sakujitsu” in Hoei 6. I specifically chose this one, as it refers to a shinjuu committed by a man and a woman, which I believe is relevant to his and Sumire's backstory.
His actual name, Hakubo (薄暮) also has a connection with the number six, as it means 'dusk/twilight', during which the Sun’s disk is 6° below the horizon in the evening.
Unfortunately, I could not find any connection between Yako, Mirai, Kako and Hanako/Amane’s names and their corresponding numbers. To take note, Yako (ヤコ) and Mirai (ミライ)'s names have, so far, only been spelled in katakana. Kako (カコ/過去)’s name has been spelled in both kanji and katakana. Meanwhile, Yugi Amane (柚木普) has (柚木), which means 'citron' and 'tree', respectively, and (普), which means ‘normal’. Hanako (花子) is a direct reference to the urban legend of “Hanako-san”.
Akane’s name apparently also doesn’t have any connections to the number one. Instead, his name, Aoi Akane (蒼井茜), and the little word play with his similarly named love interest, Akane Aoi (赤根葵), seem to be a reference to the urban legend of “Red Paper, Blue Paper”. He even wears a cape and a mask! The Hanako-Akane enmity just gained another layer…  
Tumblr media
There can be only one toilet-based ghost. ONE
Instead, I would like to present to you, Akane’s formal introduction in the manga, in chapter 8:
Tumblr media
Pictured: Aidairo, thinking they’re slick
(This is honestly just so funny in hindsight. This is his official introduction. He's seat Number One.)
So, although it’s not in his name, like many other mysteries, he is connected to his number.
Similarly, Kou may not have the number 2 in his name, but…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
…he has introduced himself as the second son more than once!
A few notes:
Aoi (葵) is also called 'Aoi-chan' (アオイ) in katakana by Hanako. Akane calls her 'Ao-chan' (アオちゃん) in katakana as well, but the feelings conveyed are quite different.
Misaki (ミサキ), Sumire (スミレ) and Katakuri (カタクリ) have all, as of chapter 94, only been called by their names in katakana. The original Mei has also been called 'Mei(-chan)' (メイ) in katakana.
Yashiro, Sumire, Katakuri and Aoi have been referred as kannagis. Misaki, Mei and Mitsuba have not, but they still had connections with the supernatural and died. All had their names spelled in katakana at some point.
Aoi, Sumire and Katakuri are all named after flowers! Aoi is hollyhock, Sumire is violet and Katakuri may be named after trout lilies.
Sumire's name probably has two types of violet in mind. First, the violet most commonly known as just 'sumire', the V. mandshurica, which, curiously, has a subtype that is also known as "Fuji Dawn". The other type of violet it may be referrencing is (アカネスミレ) 'akanesumire'.
Tsukasa's name (司) means 'leader, chief'. However, he's often referred as (つかさ) in hiragana. He also often refers to Amane (あまね) in hiragana. The Well God/Red House Entity has called Tsukasa and Akane by their names in hiragana.
2. Cooking Kou
One of Kou's key characteristics is how good of a cook he is- it's not only about the skill itself, it's a very important part of his issues and his relationships with other people.
It's portrayed, I think, in a mostly positive light. He uses it to cheer up his friends, Nene and Hanako, he teaches Mitsuba and that brings them closer in 'Houkago Shounen Hanako-kun', he cooks for his family... it really highlights the warm, 'caretaker' aspect of his personality. Later, it gains a more nuanced light, in that Kou resents being shoved into this role by his life circunstances and Teru, but doesn't necessarily hate the act of cooking and taking care of others themselves.
Cooking and eating, in general, are cast in a warm, fun light in the manga, as something that brings people together.
Which is why it's so interesting that one of the ways to become a supernatural is to eat one.
Curiously, we're introduced to both concepts (eating as a way to connect people, eating to become a supernatural) at the same time, in the very first chapter of the series!
The mermaid scales Nene eats both turn her into a half-supernatural, bounding her to the Mermaid supernatural... but they also bound her to Hanako! It's even likened to 'marriage'!
Later, the rule of becoming a supernatural by eating one is turned more explicit. First, when Tsukasa makes Mitsuba eat the Original no. 3's heart, and then, when Teru explains how this works to Akane, Kou and Nene, in a particularly funny scene of the manga, as he reveals they ate an oni's hand he finely chopped into their pizza.
So, we've always sorta had these two concepts from the get-go. And Kou, our dear mini-chef, the character that is connected to food more than any other, wanting to become a supernatural by eating it? It makes sense, and nicely ties both sides of the same coin into one character.
Now, the question is, could there be a supernatural that has a similar connection to food? I mean, if Kou is the cook, and he has something he plans on eating, then what's his dish?
Tumblr media
KITSUNE UDON
Sure, it is a gag, but I wouldn't put it past Aidairo to just... make this much darker and heartwrenching in hindsight.
Of course, numbers and food aren't the only ways Kou and Yako may be connected.
3. "He's kinda like you, isn't he, No. 2?"
Kou and Yako have a very interesting dynamic. Although it starts as antagonistic, with Yako going wild and attacking students, among them, Satou and Yokoo, Kou’s friends, it felt less personal than the Yashiro-Nene dynamic. Probably because there was no confrontation between Kou and Yako. Instead, the focus was on Yako and Nene’s similarities.
However, that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t eventually get something more out of this pair!
The first time they interact in a meaningful way is in the ‘Hell of Mirrors’ arc.
Hanako and Kou, in order to reach No.3’s boundary, ask for Yako’s assistance, as she’s the School Mystery who controls/oversees ‘space’.
Once they enter her boundary, the first thing they notice is how much it’s changed since Yako’d been stripped off her seat. Kou, in particular, has a very interesting reaction, calling it ‘pretty’.
Tumblr media
While they climb up the stairs, Kou asks Yako how she felt when she was under the influence of her slightly changed rumor. Angry at such an insensitive question, Yako snaps at him, until Hanako cuts in and explains Kou’s situation to her, of how he lost someone he just can’t forget. He then remarks:
Tumblr media
Athough, Yako denies it, it’s clear she’s affected by Hanako’s words. So much so, she relents, tells them how she felt and even goes as far as to comfort Kou, telling him that his words probably reached Mitsuba.
I would like to remark that, pretty much all the Seven Mysteries have a loved one who died and they can't forget/stop thinking about, so it's pretty significant that this direct comparison only happens between Yako and Kou.
It all ends in a really cute exchange, with Yako telling Kou to call her ‘Yako-nee-san’.
I think, other than Hanako and Nene (and maybe Natsuhiko), Yako is the person who knows and understands Kou’s motivation, regarding Mitsuba, the best.
It’s pretty interesting that they bond in this arc in particular, as we’re introduced to a Mitsuba that’s brought back in an artificial body. Tsukasa even compares him to ‘Frankenstein’!
And, may I ask, who is the other supernatural that tried to bring a loved one back to life by giving them an artificial body…?
Tumblr media
So, Yako actually does have a solid parallel and connection to Kou and Mitsuba’s situation.
After this, Kou and Yako seem to be on good terms, which is most apparent in the ‘Tanabata Festival’ arc. They are constantly hanging out together. It’s cute.
Tumblr media
The current arc has our three main characters facing a pretty hard dilemma: they're each at a crossroad, they all have to sacrifice something in order to get what they want.
To illustrate: If Nene wants to live, she has to either sacrifice Aoi, her best friend, or Sumire, someone she symphatizes with and likes. If Hanako wants Nene, the girl he loves, to live, he has to destroy his yorishiro eventually... his dear little brother, Tsukasa.
So, thinking about that, Kou sacrificing Shinigami for his goals doesn't make much sense- Hakubo doesn't mean anything to Kou, there's no emotional weight to him killing the current no. 6 and replacing him, when it's not a difficult choice to make, between destroying him and saving Mitsuba, Nene, Teru, Akane and Aoi.
Kou also believes he can just figure out how to turn back into a human with Mitsuba. I think... in his mind, he figures he can just turn into a supernatural, then go back to being human. He's too focused on saving 'everyone' so it maybe hasn't hit him yet that... it's probably not that simple.
Nevertheless, Kou having to chose between all these people he holds dear and a supernatural he actually likes, that's his friend, that understands him... that holds much more emotional weight and it matches with Hanako and Nene's own current dilemmas.
4. Sharing Seats
Now, does that mean that this will end with Yako dying permanently and Kou taking her place as a School Mystery? Possibly.
But I believe there may be other possibilities as well.
But before we get into them... I actually do wonder if the Original no. 3 is gone in the truest sense of the word. Everything indicates that yes, he was eaten by Mitsuba and is now, deader than dead.
However, there are two things that make me question this: the rule that nobody can die in a boundary and the manga comparing Mitsuba to "Frankenstein".
Regarding the rule about nobody dying in a boundary, so far, only Aoi has been confirmed to die, and she was brought to the Far Shore with the intent to be sacrificed. Actually, it's hinted that, it wasn't until she fell into that hole with Akane that she died. So, it's something to keep in mind.
And then we have Mitsuba, our very own Frankenstein's Creature. Tsukasa, the one who essentially brought him into existence, compares him to this character, and tells Kou and Hanako he 'made' Mitsuba out of the bodies of weaker supernaturals and the original Sousuke's mind. Later, he also gains No. 3's heart.
What I find curious, is that Mitsuba had the more concrete wish of 'becoming human' after he ate No. 3... who himself seemed to aim to replace humans, as he tells Nene and Mitsuba.
Mitsuba's personality and issues clearly come much more from Sousuke than anything else, that is true. If Mitsuba is an amagalmation of different beings, then Sousuke's essence/personality is the more prominent one.
Still, it makes me wonder: if Kou ate Yako, would he gain some of her feelings? Some of her desires, making them become one? Would she actually exist as a separate being inside him? If so, could this be reversed somehow?
Of course, I'm talking if he eats her heart/her wholly. I believe there can be different results.
First things first, to get the elephant out of the room...
Kou technically already has eaten Six.
And so have Nene, Teru and Akane!
Tumblr media
Because unless the village managed to capture and enslave another oni to do their bidding, I'm pretty sure that's his hand.
(Did they cut him into pieces after/while killing him? Was the thing with Yako foreshadowing for him as well? Well, damn.)
The small amount, according to Teru, means they can temporarily borrow its powers and not, well, die or be easily noticed by supernaturals.
A similar thing also had happened before this!
Nene, of course, had also eaten a supernatural before even that. Or at least, part of one, in the very first chapter of the series.
As discussed before, Nene would've remained as a supernatural fish had Hanako not eaten a mermaid scale as well, to share the burden of her curse.
Later, when we meet the little supernatural fish that work for the Mermaid, we're told Nene, due to eating part of her flesh, is now in line to become their next 'master'. She only has to drink her blood to seal the deal and be now bound to the Mermaid instead of Hanako.
Tumblr media
Note that the current Mermaid is still alive, and apparently doesn't have to die in order for Nene to eat her flesh and blood and become an... heir of sorts to her.
So here, we have two things: one, the concept of sharing, be it the power of a supernatural or a curse, and two, a supernatural doesn't necessarily has to die in order to share some of its power.
We also see it with the Clock Keepers.
School Mystery No.1 is actually composed of three beings: Mirai, who oversees 'future', Kako, who oversees 'past' and Akane, who oversees 'present'. We don't know whether Kako and Mirai tricked Akane into eating something of theirs as well, but the important thing to notice is that a school mystery can share its powers with someone else.
Of course, time here has 'three facets', so it makes sense that they have this ability. Viewed like that, it would probably make more sense for Hakubo to share his powers with someone, since he rules over 'death and life', right?
However, it's implied that the Clock Keepers are not the only ones sharing their power. The way Sakura refers to 'Hanako-san' (asking Nene if 'hers' is like a cat as well) makes it implicit that this particular mystery is composed of both Amane and Tsukasa.
Both can grant wishes. They do seem to work around that, by having Amane grant the wishes of the Near Shore, and Tsukasa grant the wishes of the Far Shore, so they 'technically' have this more than one facet thing going on.
It's implied that their power also comes from the Well God/Red House Entity, which, as we saw, seems to have fused with Tsukasa in the past. Is the current Tsukasa an amalgamation of Amane's little bro and the Well God? Did they essentially become one and the same, indiscernible from each other? Who knows.
And how or why Amane has these powers when it was Tsukasa who fused with the Red House Entity? Again, who knows.
(Did you make a Tsukasa udon out of your little brother, Amane? Did you nom Tsukasa, Amane? Did you nom Tsukasa's heart, Amane? Is that why you stabbed yourself in the gut, Amaneeee?)
But we can still consider this an example of a School Mystery sharing its power with someone else, and a supernatural not really needing to die for that to happen.
If it's a possibillity for Yako and Kou, I don't know. But it's there.
5. Red Herring (conclusion)
Kou probably still intends to become a supernatural. It won't be Hakubo, but instead, Yako will become, at very least, important to his arc later on.
But it's not like there hasn't been certain hints around Hakubo being eaten. His severed, mummified hand being the key for Kou and the others to access the place nearest the Far Shore, the Broadcast Club (especially Natsuhiko)'s interest in his power, Kou pretty much declaring that he needs his powers to save everyone...
But that's why it's a red herring. Hakubo was a red herring for Kou... and Kou was a red herring for Hakubo!
Before chapter 94, I had theorized Sumire would be the one to eat one of Hakubo's eyes. It's funny how I was wrong about that, but still managed to get the whole 'romantic (literal) eating of your partner' thing right.
...of course, I do think the possibility of Hakubo being eaten is still there, but considering he doesn't seem to be no. 6 (as of chapter 94) anymore, it would be pointless for Kou to eat him. (Maybe. Would he still have his powers over life and death if he no longer has his seat number? They could just have been weakened... but, again, it would still be kinda pointless to eat him...)
(Though, considering he shares the pattern of appearing at the end of the chapter corresponding to his number with Sakura, Mitsuba and Shijima, he could also give up at least one eye to Tsukasa, in exchange for a wish.)
(...I often wonder about what price Shijima paid Tsukasa for her granted wish, just as much as I think about Mitsuba never showing both of his eyes and hands after becoming a ghost/supernatural/school mystery. An artitst's hands are valuable after all...)
Lastly, even if Kou does end up eating Yako, I believe there's at least one way to reverse it, and it will involve the Clock Keepers' powers. The presence of so many time-travels and time-loops in the series... there has to be a reason behind that. And I think there's a chance of an in-universe retcon happening in future chapters.
(Which, personally, I think would be hilarious- imagine, all the shit that's been going on, undone, but everyone remembering everything. Hysterical.)
But that's for another post.

Free! - Rin is the peak definition of can't take what he dishes out. Like we can't forget about that one scene with Haru. Additionally, he hates his laugh (plus he fucking snorts when you pinch his ribs), but his friends will legit tickle him until he admits that his laugh is beautiful bc he's still pretty damn emo about everything. Rin flails and begs badly at the threat of being tickled. This man will run away, but he's really easy to take down if you get ahold of him.
Also, Sousuke 1000% takes advantage of the rib pinching snorting thing after that one gif of Rin tickling Sousuke while they're in the head cutout display tourist things.
Makoto has an album on his phone dedicated to videos and pics of his friends getting tickled.
FRIEND! Oh man, all of these are delightful!!! I won't lie, my bias for SousRin won out and I went with the whole rib-pinching headcanon as the main headcanon! I hope you like it :D
‘’You’re lying.”
Rin blinked, turning to look at Sousuke with a minor glare. “Pardon?”
“You’re lying. At least- I hope you are.” His boyfriend’s brows furrowed as he stared at him. “You can’t honestly mean that.”
“I can and I do. My laugh is god awful.” Relieved to know it wasn’t anything serious, Rin returned his attention back to his phone, flicking his fingers as the little characters on screen did their thing. “It’s high and thin and sounds like nails on a chalkboard.”
“You mean full and rich and the best sound in the world?” Sousuke scooted up so he was sitting behind him, resting his chin on Rin’s shoulder. “One of us is wrong here and it certainly isn’t me.”
“Keep telling yourself that.”
“Do I have to make you believe it?”
“You can try- oo, this guy’s pretty good.” Rin smiled at the little guy on screen- a tan boy wearing what looked like a dog helmet. “He’s kinda coo-SHRF!”
A loud, undignified snort escaped his lips. Stunned, he turned to stare at Sousuke. “What the hell was that for?”
“Say it’s pretty.” Sousuke pinched his ribs again, earning another snort and grin. “Say it.”
“Nohohohoo! Stahhahahp it you ahahahhahass! Aheahhahahha nohohoohohoohohoho!” He tried elbowing the bigger boy in the gut as he squirmed, but it didn’t take long for Rin to be a mess of pleading laughter. “Pleahahhahhase, cohohohohohoome ohohoohohohohon!”
“You already know what to say, babe. Just admit your laugh is nice. It’s not that hard.” Sousuke reached out, tossing Rin’s phone across the bed as he carried on pinching his ribs. “Or do you not want me to stop? Is this your way of saying you want me to tickle you longer?”
“Yoohohohohohu jehehehehehehrk! Gheahahahahhahahaha, nhoohoohot thehehehehre!” Rin let out a squeal when fingers prodded his belly, arching at the touch. “Fihihihihine, fihihihihine it’s preehhehehehehhetty! Now eneohohohohohohoguh!”
“See? Not so hard, was it?” The tickling came to an end, leaving Rin gasping down residue giggles against Sousuke’s lap. “Not even close to nails on a chalkboard.”
“Yohoohou’re juhuhust the crahahzy one that lihihkes that sound.” Rin argued, scrunching and giggling when Sousuke prodded his ribs again.
“If it means I get to hear it more, then I’ll take it.”
Send me a headcanon and I'll write a dabble for it!
