I was wondering, what are your thoughts on KouKane?? I desperately needs someone to talk about them!!!

I love them muah muah. Be it romantic, platonic, or one sided, is all 10/10 for me. I am pretty sure you are specifically talking about the ship here tho, so have Kou with a crush on his cool senpai.

do you have any particular thoughts about koukane? (love you <3)

I find it so funny that this is the first mlm ship I’ve been asked to talk about. I know I’ve established myself as the femslash person but still. This was so unexpected and perfect thank you so much for this ask (love you too <3)

So I don’t really know much about this ship and it used to put me off but I’ve recently begun to see the vision. My Toxic Mitsukou Shipper™️ ways usually give me a kneejerk reaction to seeing them shipped with anyone but each other, however I LOVE rarepairs and multishipping so I always try to look past that

They both think about other people to the extent of neglecting their own needs, but in vastly different ways. Kou is more selfish about it, even if he doesn’t realize that. While Akane says he would love Aoi even if she never loved him back, Kou breaks down at the thought of Mitsuba relying on anyone other than him. I think Akane would help Kou find the balance between dedicating himself to someone and looking out for his own needs. Or more like Kou would help Akane become more selfish and Akane would help Kou be more selfless

I see it mostly as an “awkward crush on your upperclassman” situation, kind of like Kounene. I DO use Kou blushing at Akane when he asked him for advice abt Nene as evidence for his bisexuality, not that we need anymore evidence at this point. And Akane’s type in anyone other than Aoi seems to be blonds, so Kou’s in luck! Truly Kou needs someone who will call him out on his bs without feeding into his savior complex, Akane could fix him. He would also absolutely bully him for the sadist thing (for any of my Minamoto Typical Sadism lovers out there)

YES!! Absolutely! Everyone sleeps on them.

They are so funny.

The way Kou is very judgemental of Akane is wonderful to me, he really just assumes shit about him?? He has a "my senpai is weirdo" view on Akane.

Which makes sense considering the kind of talk Akane has with him off manga?? Like bro, please -

But at the same time!!

Kou looks up to Akane, sees him as a dependable senpai, considering he was an option for guidance, putting him on the same panel as the brother he idolized and the supernatural whose power is knowledge, only stopped from asking for help because Akane was being crazy about Teru's bet.

So on a normal day he would see this "weirdo upperclassman" as someone helpful.

Which leads me to how Kou called Akane when Teru locked himself. HE CRIED TO AKANE OF ALL PEOPLE FOR HELP.

I also genuinely believe he thinks Akane is so cool! He got some awe going on considering how flustered he gets near him.

Honestly this mix of concerned cause he assumes Akane is a weirdo with insane tastes, and flustered cause he genuinely respects him/wants Akane to think he is cool, makes for a really funny dynamic.

Bro really blasts Akane while simultaneously having a kind of admiration for him.

And Akane? Akane also judges him a lot.

He looks down on Kou at times too, cause to be fair, Kou is very spaced out, and their world view does not align.

I will never forget the scene where Akane had to REMIND Kou that "Hey, your friend is dead. Get your priorities straight kid."

But he likes his spunk too, he is inspired by his determination, he wants Kou to succeed. I'm glad Kou goes to him for help cause Akane does like him, if he can help, he will.

He sucks at pep talks though, he comes off as very awkward when he tries to cheer him up.

He also understands Kou extremely well despite barely interacting.

He only scowled Teru after the brothers fought because he ALREADY KNEW Kou would protect Hanako.

Akane could also sense he has some kind of connection with Supernatural MItsuba, who I doubt Kou ever mentioned to him, he is always very silent about Mitsuba. So Akane must have noticed from body language alone?? My boy-

He sees him as a good kid, so much so he goes "you sure you're related to Teru?"

He also appreciates Kou's cooking skills.

bonus: this wonderful panel
