I Have To Get Something Off My Chest Real Quick.

First and foremost, I love your art style.

Secondly, I deeply appreciate how you gave Kagome a longer skirt instead of the typical mini skirt she has. It definitely suits her more (especially given the whole reincarnation of a priestess thing)

So Yashiro doesn't intervene when Hanako is talking about her upper body and how he's come into contact with it multiple times to someone who clearly doesn't wanna hear it, but draws the line at him talking about her ankles?

Girlie needs better priorities and HR effective immediately, I'm sorry---

Thank you @satano-okawaii and everyone who got me to 250 reblogs!

Friendly reminder that Kou took Mitsuba on a confirmed date

The fact that Mitsuba actually looks so happy about it at the end of the panel is so cute, I can't. And the fact that Kou actually listens to what Mitsuba likes---Kou is such a wholesome potato. Why did AidaIro have to make these two so loveable?

As much as sometimes I'm done with Hanako's slick self, I gotta admit that possessed Yashiro is lowkey a mood tho

Yo, Yashiro's a Disney princess and you can't convince me she isn't. Don't look at me like that, you know I'm right.

Animals talk to her (she's had multiple instances of this).

Pretty sure she was poisoned at one point unless I'm wrong.

She ain't got no parents (not any we ever see).

She's under a curse.

She can sing because she played the role of Dorothy for the Wizard of Oz later on in an alternate timeline (and her voice actress has mad vocals).

She's been kidnapped multiple times and technically enslaved as Hanako's assistant.

Ate an object belonging to a sea witch for a tail in exchange for her human legs.

Has had true love's kiss (you know the chapter I'm talking about).

And all of her problems are solved because a big strong man shows up all the time (Hanako---she's always calling him to save her).

Yashiro is a Disney Princess bro. On top of that, she is canonically a mermaid princess because the mermaid queen tried to enlist her when Yashiro wanted to know more about Hanako.

I understand your original points.

I guess I was struggling to think of instances because college is sucking me dry (T v T)

It honestly shocks me how virtually no one in the TBHK fandom is talking about how physically strong Yashiro is. She is a lot stronger than we give her credit for.

Haters will call it glaze, but I call it appreciation.

Now, let me make this clear for anyone who wants to be like, "well, ackshually--" yes, I know that Yashiro doesn't have the same amount of physical strength as Hanako---of course she doesn't. Hanako, despite having the build of a stick, is capable of taking down entities twice his size with just his willpower and a knife.

Hanako has obviously had more than enough time to adapt to the world around him and thus got adequate fighting skills as a result of that. No question that Yashiro obviously is not on the same physical wavelength. But y'all aren't going to gaslight me into saying that Yashiro can't throw hands.

Sure, we can argue that some of these moments were for comedic effect, but I don't think it downplays her feats here. She might not have Isekai level fighting skills, but she knows how to get rrready to rrrumble.

Heck, from the very start when her and Hanako's bond was first officialized by the mermaid scale, Hanako teases her (like the jackoff he is) and Yashiro responds by elbowing this nickel clean in the NECK. In fact, she elbows him so hard, it KNOCKS him over into the DESKS.

Yes, we could also argue in this moment that Yashiro didn't mean to actually hurt him since she didn't know she could touch him. But the fact she even still threw hands at him says quite a bit to me.

In fact, the added notion that she thought she COULDN'T harm him makes it more effective in displaying her strength in being able to fully topple this boy over. Because if that's what she was gonna do ironically, how strong would she be if she were to seriously throw hands? (Don't worry, that question is answered later in this post)

Yashiro since then continues to throw hands with Hanako whenever he gets on her nerves. She beats on Hanako nearly every other crescent moon, but Hanako deals with it because he's a masochist. There's no other explanation I can provide for why he lets her do this stuf to him.

There's no way he's NOT actively letting her hurt him with the amount of physical strength Hanako clearly has and has been shown to have (this dude won a fight against floating scissors in the Misaki Stairs, for crying out loud---)

Did we forget that time in the spinoff manga where she managed to pin him down to the floor with a MOP?

Or what about that time Yashiro heard him talk about her and so she defied physics and attacked from the side HEAD FREAKING FIRST?

"Oh but that's just her and Hanako's dynamic--"

Fear not, dear reader, because there's many more instances of Yashiro casually flexing her strength and agility.

There was a time within the Misaki Stairs arc where Yashiro literally runs and glides across a DOLL to jump up, then lands perfectly, and reaches Yako's yorishiro. Even Hanako was shocked.

Oh, that's not enough?

Well, let me introduce you to a (not-so) wonderful being known as Nakahara from Chapter 115, who pinned Yashiro to a wall and she (rightfully) responded by UPPERCUTTING HIM from the JAW, doing a FRONT FLIP across the guy's CHEST, landing on the floor perfectly, and speeding off away from him.

Comedic, exaggerated, or not, you can't deny that's some pretty impressive stuff.

I don't care what no one says, Yashiro can throw hands when it counts.

I also really like it because Jinshi had apologized and taken accountability for making Maomao uncomfortable. Plus, the nature of Jinshi getting the ox bezoar is so cute. It's why I can't hate this ship despite Jinshi sometimes being a weirdo to me, because he does usually tend to make up for it with his occasional sincerity.

While everyone—myself included—is raving about the frog scene... I absolutely adored the door scene at the end...

She sees him for him and that's why I love them so much. I loved the introspection we got from Maomao about her not understanding and picking up on other people's emotions well... But in this moment, she said what he needed to hear most... And then, in true JinMao fashion, this serious and impactful moment of sincerity was interrupted by tomfoolery...

You guys don't understand how much I love the duality of JinMao... They have such a complex and nuanced dynamic—but at the same time, they're so silly...

I love gaining more reasons to stan Yashiro as a character 💗

Notice how just about every other apparition going after Nene has to dismantle her strength first? Ghosts---GHOSTS---have to make elaborate plans just to even GET TO HER because they know full fact she'll whoop they a---

The only time I've actually liked looking at a picture of rats

Its me and the rats running my life 🐭

It's already bad enough how Hanako attempted to gaslight Yashiro into being in an alternate world. It's even worse that he then put her in a cell until the rest of said reality was done being made.

But wanna know what I think is the most disrespectful aspect of him putting her in the cell?

THE FACT THE INTERIOR LOOKS LIKE SH---

Look in there and analyze. If that ain't the most Temu looking princess bed I done ever seen in my life--

He's already went through the process of manipulating Yashiro and trying to imprison her against her will, but then he has the utter gall to put her in a room that doesn't even look good?!

And I don't wanna hear no excuses. Mei was able to conjure a whole universe with just a pencil and a notebook, yet you're telling me Hanako couldn't ask her to make a nicer room? At that point, that's just plain disrespectful. Even the Beast from Beauty and the Beast gave Belle a much nicer room.

"Oh, it was temporary" Okay but she's a human, not a freaking dog.

You're telling me he couldn't get her a room like THIS? (Well, not EXACTLY like this but you get my point)

Yeah no, Hanako, what the actual heck is wrong with you? (Everything is wrong with him, why did I even ask--)

Imprisonment is already bad enough, but to put her in the most ghetto looking room is mad work. If he wanted her to stay so bad, couldn't he or Mei have at least made it NOT look like a cell?!

And in the anime, it looks even worse. All that's in there is a bed with chains and boxes. Blud couldn't even be bothered to get her GENUINE FURNITURE!

"It's for your safety" my a---
