OMG

😅😂🤣

I have the the idea of Vivia being a supernatural as a vampire and Yuma being a supernatural as a ghost in which he still has his forte and shinigami being his friend

While Vivia also still has his forte.

them beside shinigami having the ability to disguise as human,the only trait being out with Yuma is that he cold so he tries not to touch people unless he needs to and for Vivia he can stand in the sun but not to long or else he gets sick

But that a random thought that was just inspired by TBHK/toilet bound hanako-kun

By: Joanna Haruki

It is only a matter of time

That all will be place upon the scale

To be judged for their sins

Wether be the hand of tyrants or the

Hand of god who rules upon death

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For Everyone will sink,so make the most of that

Finale show

Of the final feast

Because for those sinners,that entertainment will

Soon come to an end

For when it rains

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For All people will all be drowned

All will be dissolved

Into the waters

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For The Herrscher of the rain

Will remain,weeping on thy throne

On thy Palace alone

For the ward it loves is all gone

For it fears came true

Came out of its own control

It is only a matter of time

It is only a matter of time

For Everyone to be drowned

For everyone to be dissolved

For everyone to be forever trapped

In this sea of mysteries and despair

In progress

My persona

Can someone please make a au/fic where yuma kokohead is also a homunculi

Thanks 🙏 😉🥂

Something that i bothered me about the game is that, they never said anything about the detectives' ages (especially Yuma's)

It’s what bothers me the most as of right now, because it’s kind of a dicey territory when you really look at it. I had a full blown discussion with a few friends about this as well, and I understand that I don’t see eye to eye with everyone about this, but I wish we did know, because Yuma Shipping Discourse is bothersome, in my opinion, and given that there is a lot of s*xualization of minors in Japan and Japanese Media is what I think makes the whole lack of clarification to be a very thin line between being okay and being uncomfortable / creepy. The whole thing gives me the ick and my thing is, I don’t care if I’m disagreeing with people, we’re bound to not agree on somethings, but I feel like this is an issue where us, among the community, should agree to disagree, because I don’t feel like arguing a point that people don’t want to agree with me on, if that makes sense ? Anyways, I just view Yuma as a gifted burnout teenager and will leave it at that, and there isn’t any reason to argue with me over it because I am not willing to compromise until it is canonically revealed with proof.

Hahaha, that was definitely an infodump nobody asked for ; and this wasn’t an attack toward you at all, I’m sorry if I came off as aggressive, this is a generalized statement for everyone that has come to me with the stance of “ Yuma is a legal adult “, because it’s strange that it’s happened twice already. 😭🥂

Comic strip prologue

Random question if you were to want to make a foil/opposite/the yin or yang, character of Amane/Hanako Yugi what you think they be

Nene-chan and Tsukasa combined; Amane already has foils

Where Amane is filled with secrets and refuses to speak his heart, Tsukasa speaks his heart fearlessly

and where Amane is hopeless, Nene-chan is filled with hope

a good story has its foil baked into the plot! its characters will exemplify the different philosophies!

we don't need to invent anything new!

Because I have a feeling when school is in full swing and Hanako-kun has a moment alone with Tsukasa, I have a feeling he's going to ask, "Why are you doing this?" I hate you, you're not my brother" In this situation I have the impression that Hanako-kun will get angry and it will be at that moment that Tsukasa will unload all her feelings on him saying that he's the one I've always hated him. That's my theory how do you think that will be the moment when Tsukasa really reveals his true feelings

I guess just the once, I will answer one of these, which I typically would delete ....

without any malice directed at you, but with simply opposing ideologies, know I feel this with conviction: you, and everyone who thinks this are as incredibly wrong about the manga as you could possibly be. You'll be confused and disappointed until the very last page.

The Yugi are deeply in love with each other. Everything Tsukasa does is out of boundless love for Amane, and a wish to know him. Everything Amane has done is originating from his love for Tsukasa. Even his love for Nene-chan, derives in some way in the way she reminds him of his naive, childish, gullible, clumsy, playful little brother, who he spent his childhood with.

The core concepts in this manga are love, devotion, attachment, enduring everything and accepting any outcome, because you love somebody. It doesn't matter if they push you away (Aoi), if they could never return it (Hakubo), if they're beyond hope (Sakura), hurt you (Tsukasa), or change (Amane, Mitsuba)-- they are still the person you love. As long as there is something there, it is worth loving, it is worth believing in.

There cannot be a message about hate, or someone lost and corrupted beyond saving, as Iro-sensei is honestly too soft and sentimental for this. A reveal about hate would not be narratively interesting, thematic, or satisfying. The concept of shooting a big gun at Tsukasa at the end of this, or the Yugi hating eachother, is 100% impossible. Really I think that!

You may as well 'theorize' that Mitsuba is a lost cause, or 'theorize' that Hakubo never loved Sumire, or 'theorize' that loving Aoi is wrong of Akane, or 'theorize' that Nene will have to destroy the too-far-gone Hanako with her bare hands, lol.

What senseless things! Silly nonsense. Why do some people think hate is so important?

Tsukasa has no secret.

Here are his true feelings:

but I don't know why I'm saying anything ... you must not listen to a word I say! Ho hum ...

Just curious, but what your thoughts and feelings of hanakou

I think hanakou is amazing, I love them so much it makes me look stupid! They are easily my favorite ship that doesn't involve Teru, Akane, or Aoi, and their view of each other is fascinating!!

People don't really pay attention to them and a lot about how Hanako impacts Kou's relationship with supernaturals and how Kou impacts Hanako's relationship with trust with hope, which both serve to sabotage each other, is lost.

I am too sleepy to properly gush about them, but as a tiny example, think of Mitsuba's introduction arc. Hanako would normally take care of Mitsuba himself, he believes there is no future for the dead after all, but he trusts Kou, Kou makes him have hope, so he let him deal with it in a more gentle way that goes against his usual beliefs.

That's what started one of Kou's main arcs: A decision Hanako made from respect for Kou's own beliefs. Which was only possible cause Kou went to Hanako for advice for exorcism in the first place.

I have an entire draft on them that I really need to finish and edit

I am well aware they aren't canon, but I'm still very sad Aidairo just... pushed them aside when there is still so much to explore.

I do agree that their relationship has been dicey for a while, and just because we breezed past some things in 96 doesn't actually mean all is resolved. This 'friendship' has always been tenuous, what with Hanako being a known kaii that has had conflict with the Minamoto in the past. Honestly... what Hanako and Kou had going on feels closer to a truce than real friendship, to me. An agreement to wait and see what happens, to... co-exist, in the meantime. You don't really get an impression that they even respect... one another... exactly... To Hanako, Kou might just seem like some goody two-shoes, ignorant kid in the world. To Kou, Hanako has a suspicious past and behaves rudely, carelessly. They try and get along... more for Nene's sake than anything else. But Nene is also a source of contention for them, as they squabble over her fate, again and again.

(Note: while Hanako doesn't directly comment on it, I think Kou swearing vengeance towards Tsuaksa in Ch 20 isn't exactly negligible either... lol. A yorishiro is a precious object containing strong memories from a mystery's life, and Tsukasa and Amane had a close, intense relationship up until death. Let's think of this as, Kou's first strike.)

Once Kou learns about Nene's life span situation during the Clock Keeper's arc, this kicks off their ongoing struggle over, who will save Nene? Kou is angry that Hanako withheld this information / Hanako sees it as not worth mentioning, since her fate isn't able to be altered. Kou swears he will fight to change it anyways. This is a challenge to Hanako's defeatism (good) but it also is ah, a sort of threat (uncontrollably.) that he will alter Nene's fate by his own means. Hanako, a possessive person, does not like this. But it must percolate for a while, before this becomes an issue. I'd say this is Kou's second strike.

It's not a serious offense, but I also think it's like. "Lol" that, post-Hell of Mirrors + during Tanabata, Hanako is pouting about Nene's attention towards Kou. He's sulking about how he's on her mind. By the time Picture Perfect rolls around, it feels like he's... finally reaching the end of his patience with this all! It's an undercurrent throughout the chapters... Amane seeming frustrated as he observes Nene seek solace in Kou. And Kou throws a wrench in all of Amane's shmoozing and attempts to get Nene to accept this fake reality!

To me... it feels like Amane is really struggling with how he's trying to, roleplay out this fantasy of being Nene's Normal Fellow Classmate... Stargaze on the rooftop, wax poetics... Impress upon her his thoughts about stars, space... but Kou is in the way! And, beyond this little 'roleplay', Amane is trying to trap her in this painting, to save her life (before Kou can)... and Kou is getting in the way-!!

He can't keep his cool about this... Looking disdainful, resentful, tired. He finds Kou's heroisms stupid, and pointless... He thinks his grand declarations of all he can do are lousy, spoken out of ignorance. A bunch of hot air, with no follow through. All these promises of what he is going to provide for her... It must simultaneously make Amane want to roll his eyes (how, annoying, how empty and weak these promises are!) and yet also bare his teeth (the possessive, jealous brain cannot stand even the mere thought of it...)

This is it... Three strikes and you're out. These panels are like, the nail on the coffin, to me. There is no friendship here... We're not friends. We can't be friends.

We are in competition. And, it remains to be the case, as Kou continuously makes plans to save Nene's lifespan, like his plans to take Hakubo's seat as No. 6. Even ah, in Ch 97, we get this bit...

Reaffirming that, Kou is still seeking to extend Nene's life, and is willing to exorcise Hanako, if push came to shove. I suppose it's a mutual sense of distrust, at this point. And the reason there's no talking about is because they don't want to rock the boat and make things harder for Nene again. After the Severance, I think everyone would like to look the other way, and let things go 'back to normal'... Even if they aren't / even if they can't.

Hum hum... but as for the upcoming chapter...There's so much going on with this new arc being built up, I feel like this is storybeat is kind of, low priority-? It doesn't need to be addressed right now, I don't think.

We're juggling things between the school festival (past and present), the large clock in the theatre, Hanako's missing memories, past Tsukasa's invitation to Nene, the? hand? that alluded to Nene that some accident happening in the past? And Natsuhiko + Akane possibly teaming up, the broadcast club going for No. 1's yorishiro... So much could happen next. I also assume that if Kou makes a proper appearance in the next chapter, it would just be to continue his ongoing issue with Mitsuba, and maybe his promise to share the burden with Teru. Much to do, much to get to... Hanako isn't even very focused right now, as he is busy dwelling on his past...

Also, Nene and Mitsuba are closer, and more friendly with one another, so the tone of the last chapter suits them. This, like, girl talk almost (lol?) sitting and reflecting about their relationship. I do not... think... Kou and Hanako are able to parallel such an interaction... I don't think they really have drawn out conversations like this... Really, I don't think they'd even want to talk about their respective feelings for Nene/Mitsuba at one another-? They're struggling to even acknowledge these feelings to themselves.

When we do address this conflict between them, I think it'll be when... they naturally wind up trying to do conflicting things. If Kou tries to make a move to extend Nene's life, it won't go unopposed, and if Hanako does some crazy shit again, well. Kou promised to be a cop with his cop brother so that will create problems. We must simply wait and see.

Why does Amane choose his name hanako, I understand yako choosing misaki but why hanako of all things, why the specific spelling in kanji that means flower kid

Ooh, you know, incidentally, I've been dwelling on the name "Hanako" lately...

The kanji (花子) is actually pretty typical, for "Hanako"... Let's say, it's one of the most classic spelling of this name? Building off of that, the myth of "Hanako-san of the bathroom" (トイレの花子さん) is actually one that has existed in Japan for years, and in it, the name is commonly spelled like that. From a writing perspective, Iro-sensei is just maintaining the ah, iconography of the name, I suppose?

I've talked before in a previous ask about how the "Jibaku" in the title is evoking several things at once. Well, I think Iro-sensei is the sort that likes everything to feel multilayered, so even the usage of "Hanako-kun" is conveying something very particular. Hanako is a very feminine name (as flower names commonly are; think of names like Daisy or Rose) — so appending -kun to it is a little bit strange... My wife and I have joked, it's sort of like, if the story was starring Bloody Mary… but the twist is that Mary is a boy, and we call him, Little Lad Mary, or something… Lol. This is one of those things western fandom might be missing out on, due to culture discrepancies. We read Hanako, and it perhaps doesn't stand out next to Natsuhiko as a very girly name. To the point where I don't really blame anyone for not keying into it; it's not so intuitive for us.

I mean, I myself have had to really internalize what the experience of reading the title could be like, for a native speaker. You're looking at Hanako-kun on the title, and then seeing this spooky cursed boy sitting on a toilet. And you're like "-? ? .. ?? Hanako... toilet ghost, but boy-? And, self bondage???" (lol) There's just ah, a different first impression when picking up volume 1, I think.

Now, to get into the in-world reasons for why Amane uses Hanako... Well. The thing is, we haven't actually gotten a very direct explanation on what Amane feels about the name. Feels quite shrouded in mystery still... perhaps, it's not something we'll know the truth of until we are able to learn about what Amane went through that made him become a mystery in the first place. For now, all we can do is infer...

Logically, we can say the name Hanako comes from the rumor of "Hanako-san", which is something that could have existed before Amane even died. The mysteries can be swapped out by other individuals, as we see with Mitsuba, who becomes the new "Hell of Mirrors". It seems the rumor itself doesn't suddenly change, despite Mitsuba being a wholly different person. And, beyond that, perhaps there was a different entity before that tengu that was the Hell of Mirrors... etc. So, a possible explanation is that the name Hanako was one that Amane inherited once he became No. 7.

Though, we do have examples of mysteries with titles that allude to their specific circumstance... such as the Misaki Stairs and Shijima-san of the Art Room. Questions that arise from this are: If a kaii replaced Yako or Shijima, would the rumor stay the same? What were the rumors for No. 2 and No. 4 before theirs existed? Were there any at all...? I suppose, we don't know how long there have been 7 mysteries guarding the school. In any case... I wouldn't totally rule out the possibility that Amane himself is the origin of the Hanako-san rumor. For whatever reason, his actions in the past might have created Hanako-san. Shijima-san's rumor is a product of misinformation about Mei's death, so it might not have been Amane's choice how people perceived certain events.

I try and keep my mind open to the possibility, at least... though, if you want my personal opinion, I'm leaning more towards the former. I assume that Amane just inherited the role of No. 7, and the rumor associated with it was Hanako-san. The reason is... before meeting Nene, I'm not sure who else would even be calling him Hanako-? The mysteries are relatively distant from one another, and typically refer to one another by their numbers. I would say Tscuhigomori is the mystery that knows Amane the most personally, and deep down, I think Tsuchigomori simply sees Amane as... Yugi Amane. To Tsuchigomori, Amane is the same as when he knew him in life; he's been frozen in place here, never moving on. Tsukasa meanwhile knew Amane best, ostensibly, and was close with him through most of his life... and only ever calls him Amane.

I'm of the belief that Amane himself, does not closely identify with the name Hanako, before meeting Nene. I think it was a business name... I think it was even, kinda funny, like, Lol, girl's name... sure. He's amicable to wearing thigh highs and letting Nene dress up his hair, nor does he really fret about being gender-swapped, so it's not like having a "girl's name" would bother him much. It must feel very inconsequential...? He's only being regarded as Hanako-san on the rare occasion a soon-to-be-dead student summons him. Otherwise, he's Nanaban-sama to his co-workers... and internally, I think he's Amane... er, in a compulsive way-? Like, he can't control this remnant of his past life... Tricky, since there is a bit of compartmentalization happening; I do think Amane thinks of "Yugi Amane" as having died and no longer "really" existing beyond that death... What he is now, is something different and unrecognizable (... or, so he thinks.) At that point of dehumanization, he probably doesn't regard his current self with any name. Maybe he is just, a kaii, a mononoke, a murderer... etc.

Upon befriending Nene... I think that Amane wasn't taking their relationship so seriously. Her referring to him as Hanako-kun was kind of cute, funny, novel. He WAS obfuscating his identity, after all, so maybe it was ideal for her to see him this way. (Amane himself wouldn't have even let Nene know he killed someone in the past, let alone his real name...) So, performing as Hanako became something he does specifically for Nene's sake. This comes packaged with representing the mysteries as more close than they are, his job as more heroic than it really is, etc. I would say at this point, Amane starts to imagine a divide between Amane, living boy, and Hanako, the ghost that came after.

However, over time, the identity of Hanako-kun became more sentimental than Amane would ever have chosen. This was never supposed to be... more than, a flimsy front, a mask he wears, your silly bathroom ghost friend. That's why he's confused in Picture Perfect, with Nene's insistence that Amane-kun is the same as Hanako-kun. These should be separate things — Amane shouldn't be the same as Hanako! But... of course, they are, because he's the same as ever...

Haha, it's all kind of convoluted, but I like how much it makes one reflect on identity... Whether you personally identify with something or not, the urge to split yourself up, but also the way that you're always... yourself, even after things change... *wiggles fingers* Pretty cool, right? Often in posts, I'm kind of wrestling with how to refer to Amane, and how to keep things consistent enough to not be suuuper confusing... but it's hard! The names Amane and Hanako can be useful in tandem. It's such a Vibes thing, at times.

I typically default to Amane when referring to him as... the character, the entity of Amane, across many worlds/timelines. The entire history of the character, is "Amane" to me. Whereas I think of Hanako as more specifically encompassing the time he's spent with Nene! It's really Nene that has made Hanako more than just a title... though deep down, ig the real endgame of this would be regarding him as Amane...? [personal blatherings here...] Anyhoo...

We're surely due for more information on this topic someday. My wife has even mused on why the name Hanako is used for him... It's something to really contemplate-!!

Here your parfait Hanako

Hope you enjoy it
