#aoi akane

[mari-lair]

Let's talk about after-school chapter 28!

I had assumed this interaction was what made Teru, our king of pettiness, go "You know what? I think I won't exorcise your evil spirit problem. Perish."

But?? Akane already had stiff shoulders at the start of their talk?? And Akane waited until it was near the end of their student council time to brag about his 'date' with Aoi.

Meaning Teru just let Akane carry the embodiment of stress and hatred on his back during their entire student council time??

I can't fathom why? This was not an 'I trust Akane to handle it' case, not when Teru was the one who enchanted his glasses so he know better than anyone how vulnerable to supernatural Akane becomes with it, and telling myself Teru needed to wait for the supernatural to feed on Akane to grow when this guy is a pro exorcist also feels like an excuse.

Maybeeee Teru was morbidly curious as to how Akane would fight the feeling?

Speculations on the insane decision to let Akane be haunted aside, their conversation is a trainwreck, shout out to how Teru instinct upon hearing Akane got a date is that his buddy is hallucinating.

I get his skepticism tho, pre-severance Akane you are... A lot.

"I love the part of her that invites me to go shopping" Akane, my dear, you need help. I know you're being honest but please find a less awkward way to be a lovesick fool. (---> I say, knowing full well he'll need to go through a traumatic feelies talkies section in Death's house first)

"cya!" is just cute to me. Look at this smug ill-informed dumbass.

"Hey, the flowers behind aoi are different this time," I think in surprise, even tho realistically Akane must associate Aoi with the entire garden at this point.

And here comes the professional thrid well, the prince himself! His mere presence means Teru actually fell for Akane calling the shopping trip a date though, he gives Akane too much credit.

Teru knowing Akane well enough to translate his stammers of a pathetic creature into "Why are you here?" is beautiful, bro is better at his side gig (pester akane) than his main job (be an exorcist) today.

Aoi's "I know a liar when I see one. let's indulge him anyways" she truly is a kind soul.

Speaking of said liar, I love that Teru doesn't have a basket or shopping cart.

He isn't even trying to pretend he had plans to go shopping, what a guy.

Aoi getting excited over dirt and fertilizer, my girl <3

Shout out to Akane for being happy that Aoi is happy and to Teru for finally figuring out that he doesn't need to sabotage anything cause there is nothing to sabotage.

Teru: *speak*

Akane: and away goes my joy and whimsy.

Love Teru trying to bond with Aoi right after the realization this is a hangout. He wastes no time.

Aoi telling Teru the truth is sweet, I'm glad they are getting closer. Also happy to see Teru remains shameless.

Aoi gave him the driest look possible and Teru still put carrots on her basket. He even said "buy it" SO HE WOULD HAVE MADE HER PAY FOR THE CARROTS.

YES AOI REPRIMAND HIS ASS!

She really treats him like a dog! Is incredible. From her 'grrr' to the way she points a finger at him, it gives me "bad dog! Drop it!" energy.

Fascinated by the way Teru blushes. He seems to be more hung up on being called 'bad' than anything, but he definitively liked being reprimanded, he is still blushing when he walks instead of displaying the dejection of the convenience store.

He doesn't even give up on his quest to make her buy veggies.

Teru, you're doing horrible sweety, keep pestering her and you two will be inseparable in no time <3

Love how Akane snapped out of the curse's first attempt to make him spiral by refusing to be on the same level as Hanako.

He is so arrogant "What am i a loser? A pathetic toilet loser? Nah nah, I am better than that." like damn, okay bro.

I can't believe he pushed back against a curse by the sheer power of self-confidence and determination though, he is built differently. 90% of the characters in this manga cannot relate.

Love how Teru probably didn't suggest a single flower for Aoi to buy, trying to test if he could sneak even one vegetable into her basket, so his closeness to Aoi just made Akane's petunia suggestion look that much more thoughtful in comparison (she does look very happy to be given an actual flower).

Rest in peace Teru you suck at sabotaging.

(Or he would suck if that was the goal! He stuck around for this entire hangout despite how rare his free time is. He got his ice cream, he even walked Aoi home, he just want to hang out. Same vibe as when he went "Oh aoi come with me to the festival, Akane will be there")

I find Teru's zoned-out face so cute.

There is no speech bubble to Terukane's first panel here, but i am 95% sure Teru was the one who asked to be notified about Aoi's gardening progress considering the '...' contrasting Akane's enthusiasm. Love that for him, yes talk to Aoi, get close to this closed off girl.

And Akane didn't like that iuguyguygyui

Teru can always just take off his glasses like Akane never fights that. Good for you.

I am still not over Teru just letting him carry this curse.

But now I really doubt he did it specifically to torture Akane, cause Teru likes helping Akane as much as he enjoys annoying him.

I wonder if he is proud of Akane for not acting on any of the negative feelings he was being fed, cause Teru looks genuinely happy here! It's a far cry from his usual 'bullying you relax me' or 'i am petty' kind of smiles.

...I may be biased but I am throwing my "Teru didn't exorcise the monster for this long to have an excuse to be hanging out with the Aois while tecnically doing his job." idea here. We do get a heavy confirmation he could have done something before and wanted to third wheel after all.

Teru wants to turn this couple into a tricycle so bad. What a guy.

"I hope I didn't act weird" That's an insane thing to think considering how you act near Aoi on the daily bro, you're lucky she is too down bad to mind your madman tendencies.

Peak weirdo to weirdo pining hell.

Speaking of which, she sent him a message to show off the planted flowers! She went out of her way to make sure he saw it, Akane never asked her to update him.

LOOK AT THEEEEEEEEEEM

"Thanks for taking me out today!" says the one who invited him. And 'taking me out'? to the hardware store? I swear I wouldn't even be surprised if she mentally referred to their hang-out as a date too. I love you Aoi.

"As long as Ao-chan had fun, I am happy" l know and I love you.

ps: Their height difference still sparks joy. The smallest girl in the block, the tallest boy in the group, and the perfect middle ground.

Why does it look like bro's trying to confess 🤨

Protective GF Aoi

“Ummmm Minamoto-senpai, I know your brother just died but that’s no excuse to shove Nene. Leave her alone.”

[helen-cooper-fan-account]

Low key find it a bit hard to believe teru actually has a crush on aoi when in this new timeline where they’re literally engaged he doesn’t actually want a romantic relationship with her (and yea he kind of alludes to it being weird that he didn’t want one since he likes her? BUT why would he not like her in this timeline if they actually “get” to be together.)

Maybe teru is just in love with the idea of aoi and not actually aoi herself? Like maybe in the og timeline he sees aoi as a concept of a “perfect life” which he loves the idea of but in this new timeline when he actually spends time with aoi he doesn’t like her?

Idk I need more people to talk about this

Color practice before i bring the big dog out (Teru coloring ☺️✌️)

so many emotions looking at these panels… I’m so glad nene has aoi holding her through this and so glad aoi gets to be included in the difficult parts of nenes life that she tries to protect aoi from, so glad she gets to be there for her best friend… yet so heartbroken because, as far as I can tell, this aoi is wholly of this world. she has no other memories. she’s not going back with them. all her friends have to leave her for a different aoi. in order to be happy and to restore their own lives and the lives of their loved ones, they have to leave this aoi behind. and all she can do is protect nene while she can, and hold onto her a little bit longer.

I never was really interested in the Bakeneko au but the french edition has a full 50 pages book on it???

There is the whole au + stuff from the cafés and random infos I didn't even know

[elizabethzoopzoop986]

Plot twist: the actual original timeline for the Tbhk universe is the world of those two AidaIro oneshots, money maidens love and innocence and the hoodlum and the four eyes love and war and that’s what Akane means when he said we’re going back to the old timeline at the end of chapter 120

Tr.ukan e 😊

Okay so several people already mentioned that this couple in Dear My Living Dead looks a lot like Aoi & Akane, but there's also this one guy that looks like Lemon.

This could be a coincidence, but I chose to believe these 3 find each other in every timeline.

One-Shots/series names and dates in the Alt texts (fun fact, I spent way too much time trying to find the year The Hoodlum and The Four Eyes, Love and War is from, just to not get a straight answer).

Also semi-canon AoiAoi child. He has his mother's hair and eyes <3.

Lowkey thinking about posting my doodles here..,., Thoughts?? And maybe after a while I could start posting mainly terukane doodles.., >_<

(vol.12 chap.59 - Final Exams)

My dude's aware that every girl, boy and everyone outside of that binary would hit on him given the chance, and I mean, tbh I wouldn't but I see the appeal (I fucking love the fact that he's so silly and then pulls a 180 and get's serious, kinda like Hanako, or a lot of characters in this manga tbh)

Btw I know that Aoi and Akane are canon (damn you tik tok edits for spoiling me) but that girl has to be at least somewhat sapphic bc how do you explain that in the early chapters, there, if you showed me some pannels without context, or even with it, I would have thought that I was looking at a yuri manga

So for now, pretending that I was never spoiled, I think that Aoi might be too much of a girl kisser for Teru

[str0yberries]

I also don’t post cosplays on here but I did Aoi after a year! I’m actually proud of her :)

[mari-lair]

I hope they were childhood frenemies
