Just curious, but what your thoughts and feelings of hanakou
I think hanakou is amazing, I love them so much it makes me look stupid! They are easily my favorite ship that doesn't involve Teru, Akane, or Aoi, and their view of each other is fascinating!!
People don't really pay attention to them and a lot about how Hanako impacts Kou's relationship with supernaturals and how Kou impacts Hanako's relationship with trust with hope, which both serve to sabotage each other, is lost.
I am too sleepy to properly gush about them, but as a tiny example, think of Mitsuba's introduction arc. Hanako would normally take care of Mitsuba himself, he believes there is no future for the dead after all, but he trusts Kou, Kou makes him have hope, so he let him deal with it in a more gentle way that goes against his usual beliefs.
That's what started one of Kou's main arcs: A decision Hanako made from respect for Kou's own beliefs. Which was only possible cause Kou went to Hanako for advice for exorcism in the first place.
I have an entire draft on them that I really need to finish and edit
I am well aware they aren't canon, but I'm still very sad Aidairo just... pushed them aside when there is still so much to explore.
