I Can See The Direction Of This Turning The Mage Into A Very Creative, Intelligent, And/or Whimsical

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)

I hate how well the duality of Shinpei is handled between him being bat-crap crazy and being a sickeningly sweet husband

I love how Yashiro is legitimately now the Penelope of the series and she don't want no other guy aside from Hanako (same way how Penelope wanted no one but Odysseus).

I also love that she's in her slay era both figuratively and literally---AidaIro did so well in evolving her character.

Yashiro for real found the song Automatic Woman by H.E.R. and said let's switch it up and I love it for her.

I would love for there to be a continuation of this where Hanako makes a gem out of Yashiro's love again, only to be surprised and see that this time, her love is directed at him (lol)

Honestly, the fans of Miraculous show should just not even acknowledge the canon material, come together, and make their own version of the series. Don't look at me like that, we all know we'd do a much better job.

I wrote fanfics and redesigns for this thing when I was fifteen, AND IT WAS STILL BETTER THAN THE CANON WRITING MADE BY A BUNCH OF ADULTS.

EVEN THE PRETEENS WRITE AND DRAW BETTER STUFF FOR IT THAN THE PEOPLE WORKING ON IT, I CAN'T EVEN MAKE THIS UP.

Listen, I enjoy Hanako as a character. I do.

But if someone were to offer me a job with the promise of acting as the guy's version of J. Jonah Jameson, I'd gladly sign up because Hanako is a menace. If you read the manga you know what I'm talking about.

I don't care how cute the ship is or how much I ship it, I refuse to overlook the fact this dude was willing to just let Aoi die off if it meant Yashiro could live and the fact he refuses to tell Yashiro anything (and the fact he was complete perv for a while).

Intentional or not, he does not respect her autonomy. He does not let her genuinely make choices for herself in terms of what she thinks is best for her. He knows full well Yashiro would be against the stuff he does, that's why he doesn't tell her anything. He knows it'll hurt her or upset her in some way, but doesn't care because he assumes he knows what's best for her without bothering to ask for her consent on the matter.

It's a 'you don't know what you want, Luigi know what you want' kinda deal and it irks me at times when I truly sit down to think about it.

"He does it because he loves her---"

So you're telling me that if you had cancer that was gonna kill you off early and your boyfriend made plans behind your back to kill your best friend---a person who's supported you for years---in order to switch your conditions to keep you alive, you would NOT lose your mind? Yeah, I'm calling cap on that.

I understand he has his reasons and you're still allowed to like the ship, I clearly still do. But can we all stop acting like Hanako is an innocent angel who doesn't know what he's doing?

The sooner we admit Hanako is a yandere, the better because what is he if not that?

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'M SO TIRED OF THE DEFENDERS, OH MY GOSH

I still to this day do NOT understand how people defend Hanako in this scene.

Honestly just this entire scene I found SUPER disturbing and I don't understand how anything defends this...

Everyone's argument is "oh but he loves Nene" or "he's just misunderstood"

Like- tf is there to misunderstand in this??

He tells Nene straight to her face that Aoi died and he DOESN'T CARE.

Nene even felt LIED to bc she thought Hanako and her were meant to be saving Aoi.

And before people say "Hanako didn't sacrifice Aoi!"

Yes that's true but he DELIBERATELY didn't do anything to prevent it and even let it happen on purpose bc it was convenient for him.

Both Hanako AND even the summery of volume 15 paint the picture of Hanako finding this CONVENIENT.

It's his literal JOB to intervene with stuff like this and he doesn't do it bc of his desperation to "fix" Nene's life span-

Even tho it was Nene's BEST FRIEND he didn't care...

But the thing is, is that Hanako does care but he ONLY cares about Nene and even so much so to the expense of even her loved ones

He even shows exactly what he told us in the beginning here...

He's says he "granted your wish" but Nene says it wasn't what she meant...

But it seems really similar almost like exactly what he told us in the beginning?

"You have to pay a suitable price."

A life for a life.

Nothing good comes from supernaturals and to date even now NOTHING good has come from the living interacting with the supernatural.

This scene for me just proves what Teru's been trying to tell us..."there's no such thing as a "good supernatural".

Mr. Gap for real said, "World Star"

(HS!Au) class argument 💢🗯️

You better, that looks freaking AWESOME

Chat, will I ever finish this? 💀☂️

So what I got is: he's short, unpopular, has big eyes, and can throw hands.

Nene, babe, you're only giving pros and no cons here.
