Haruki and Akari.

I know I already mentioned it in my other posts, but dude, the Haruki-Akari friendship is so dear to me, and it is my business to waste my time breaking down underappreciated dynamics such as this.

The thing is, I love how great of a red-herring they are in Yakimochi no Kotae. Akari went from having a crush to this guy she really relates with (and low-key giving her a sneak peek of the pain of love as she mentioned in the 2nd novel) to still finding motivation to be a better artist and person through him even if her feelings for him are now only platonic (and as she was growing fond of Mochita more and more now). I perhaps love the connection they have and how Akari sees him perhaps bc it felt the characters more real and expanded to me. Yes, in their generation, mutual love from the beginning (except for MochiAka) was their theme, and they're obviously were the most shojo-like, but I love how (to me) gen 1 was also the most bonded with overlooked combos of characters that aren't the couple.

Maybe what I love about Haruki and Akari is the fact that it mirrors me and my class president. Sometimes you have those people you initially had a crush on, but then you'd find it even better to be your friend. I admire my president so much even if it's now platonic (I still feel happy joking around with him even if he's the one mostly joking about my height lol).

I cheer him and his doll-like gf about them living out their High school days. He remains my inspiration to be a better student even if during that time I was reading the novel, I had someone else from my class who I like and I'm happy to have that getting to know phase like Akari and Mochita (it ended up like Koyuki and Natsuki thoo....so yeah😅) There's just those crushes that fade away, but the admiration stays, and you still feel motivated by those people. It's so true and I love that.

Like, in the novel 2 (spoilers) when Akari was struggling and was pressured on what path she'll take, she admired Haruki for the certainty he has, and it didn't take long for her to seek his help and open up to him about it (she even cried to him lol). I really like that friendship between them. They were both those seen as prodigies in their squad and what they have in common (like the pressure on meeting everyone's standard especially Akari, and the same creative wavelength as artists) gives them a chance to support each other. I'm a little sad Mochita has to disrupt their moment in novel 2 lol.

(image is from Yakimochi no Kotae btw, not the exact scene in novel 2 I was talking about)

Like dude, you're already the one she keeps going out with and the only guy who confessed to her that got the chance to do so (even helped you in your dream when your sick lol), no need to be jealous especially because you know that even she knows Haruki has feelings for her best friend lmaoo. I hate that moment lol, I know he wants Akari to open up to him instead, but grow up, man... and learn to trust her. You had an exact moment with Koyuki, she can have something like that too!

Anyway, despite this, Haruki who was living up to be that "best" wingman in the squad, confronts Mochita about what happened with Akari. He tried to cheer Mochita up by stating that even if Akari and him has many similarities to bond over, they both need someone who complements their personality and gives something different in their lives (referring to Miou and Mochita).

And yeah, Mochita now had something to think about, and one of the times he was reflecting about his feelings was in the famous "I called your name" scene from the mv where Akari realized she finally fell in love with him. I just find it cute Haruki confronting Mochita was the scene before it, and in the mv, he also bumped to Akari before she really confirmed her realizations.

--

So that. I just came in reading MochiAka novel 2, and I just have to appreciate Akari's friendship with Haruki, and her and Mochita as characters. I love how the novel focused on their respective passions and dreams outside of each other honestly with the help of their friends. As someone who relates to both Mochita and Akari, I'm happy to know how they were expanded and too bad we didn't see much of it on-screen (+ the painting thing in the anime was Miou's arc now... Even though it helped boost HaruMiou, it's still sad considering that part and the character pressure was more for Akari with her character and her relationship with both Mochita and Haruki esp the latter for that part).

I really love the gen 1 novels because it explored the friendship and bond of the characters outside their romantic relationships that the anime portrayed with so little justice (like dude, they really deserve winning the friendship poll lol. Their friendship is one of the points that mainly moves their plots forward).

Even gen 2 and 3 novels explore other dynamics and gives deeper character developments. That's why the novels are my favorite HoneyWorks media.

In conclusion, MochiAka novels deserve an anime in so many levels. Their story was mostly overlooked excluding KoyuRyou lol. Not only were we robbed from their sweetness, but also the gen 1 friendships that were mostly present in their story (like Midori-Mochita and Mochita-Miou are also there!!).

IMPORTANT NOTES: this song has a vice grip on me like why would you make me sob in the middle of tha afternoon. anywah its so emotional and i tried to capture that in aizo's words. not perfect or 1:1, neither my english nor japanese are good in any way.

anata wa itsu datte jiyuu ni ikiteite kibunya na tokoro neko mitai atama wo nadete kuru sono kawaranai kuse uzagaru kedo kirai janain da You have always been Living a carefree life Like a moody little cat You have that habit of giving me headpats It's annoying, but I don't hate it

You have always been Living a carefree life Like a bird fluttering in the sky Though headstrong, you're still a crybaby Which one of us is the child again... tomodachi mitai ni fuzakeatte mamoritai taisetsu na sonzai Joking around like we're just friends You're someone important I must protect shiraga fuetemo daijoubu dakara itsu made mo kirei dakara kotoba wo kureru dake de ganbareru yappari zurui na hahaoya tte yatsu wa itsu made tattemo mimamottete yakusoku desu yo It's okay if your hair begins to grow gray You'll always be beautiful in my eyes Just say the words, and I'll do my best for you It's not fair, but still...* That's what mothers are. I'll watch over you no matter what That's a promise kore kara mo genki de ite anata no “shiawase” ga shiawase Stay safe and well from now on Your "happiness" is my happiness too shiwa ga dekitemo daijoubu dakara itsu made mo kirei dakara waratte kureru dake de tsuyoku naru yappari sugoi na anata no egao wa itsu made tattemo kodomo desu yo shiawase desu yo It's okay if you're starting to get wrinkles You'll always be beautiful in my eyes Just making you laugh makes me stronger After all, there's nothing greater than your smile I will always be your child So please be happy.

* Odd sounding but he's saying it's not fair that all his mom needs to do is tell Aizo to do his best and he will.
