New year jshk kids Headcanons please ? I don't ship Mitsukou i prefer Tsumitsu please ! But no need for ship hc ! Just a bit like a little cute moment with them both please ??????

 Okay, no Misukou for you , don’t worry ! ^^ I write about all couples as long as it is not incest, pedophilia or sexual or violent content ^^

I learned a little about the Matsuri in Japan, I hope not to say too much bullshits haha x3 

Let’s go !

NEW YEAR TBHK KIDS HEADCANONS:

There is a matsuri for the new year and they all kid go there to see the fireworks

Sakura helps Tsukasa put on his Yukata because he can't tie it alone

Tiara, Kou and Tsukasa are the most excited and they run in front of the others

Teru bought a toshikoshi soba soup which he spilled (he may did it on purpose or maybe not) on Akane

Now he's all wet, and Teru is "forcing" to lend him his jacket.

He is sorry. Really .

Luckily Yako runs a Yukata stand!

So Akane forces Teru to pay him one back

And Nene and Aoi have fun trying Yako's Yukatas on and then Yako puts them on make-up and hair

Akane and Amane almost passed out because they are so pretty!

Amane teaches Nene to fly a kite but he gets stuck on a temple and she becomes sad

So Akane valiantly goes looking for him trying to climb the wall because Aoi doesn't want Nene to be sad and ask him to go get the kite.

He can't do it and falls on the buttocks so it's Teru who finally goes

Hop! Two seconds later, it's done! The kite is unstuck, Nene is happy and Aoi gives Teru a kiss on the cheek!

It annoys Akane so he stuck the kite again himself and takes 25 minutes to climb the temple to retrieve it.

Of course Mitsuba filming everything!

Akane wears Aoi on her back since almost the start of the festival because she feet hurt

Tsukasa wins a fish in a fishing game and Natsuhiko hastens to confiscate

"Uh ... we'll see that later" but he puts the fish in the lake to make sure he survives

And he buys sweets and mochi in Tsukasa so that he forgets the fish (spoiler alert: It works!)

Tsuchigomori runs Kagami Mochi's booth but every time he looks away or closes his eyes while smoking he strangely finds himself with empty bowls in front of him.

It makes Yako laugh!

Sakura and Natsuhiko baby-sitte Mitsuba and Tsukasa

Sakura also babysits Natsuhiko in fact

Besides, he managed to get his head stuck in a paper lantern when Sakura wasn't watching him.

"Natsuhiko ! How the hell did you do that?" 

We lost the yugi twins when everyone walked past Katanuki's booth

It took a big hour and all the will of Natsuhiko and Akane to get them off the stand

Natsuhiko has been walking barefoot since giving his geta to Sakura because one of the heels of one of his geta broke

We don't really know how but at one point the twins fell into the carp lake

Tiara and Tsukasa make a contest of who has the sharpest teeth

Tiara ends up biting Tsukasa

" I won !!! " Teru is proud of her!

Tsukasa cries and runs to Mitsuba for moral support

Bad luck, everyone loves Tiara

So Mitsuba just gives her a hug and a sorry smile

"We love you anyway! "

Natsuhiko gives him a headpat to console him

Mitsuba and Kou take lots of photos and Tsukasa does makes appearances in back on absolutely every photo taken, bar none

At the time of the fireworks Sakura carries Tsukasa on her back and Natsuhiko carries Mitsuba

At first he wanted to wear Sakura but Tsukasa disagreed

Amane tries to carry Nene but he is too small in size so she is the one wearing him

Akane got on crates with Aoi on his back because he wanted to be sure that she saw the sky and the fireworks.

Teru is currently a god. He carries Kou who himself carries Tiara on his back.

“HAPPY NEW YEAR !! "

After the fireworks, on the way back Teru carries Kou on his back because he is sleeping completely

On the other hand, next him, Tiara is a real ball of energy, she jumps everywhere and does not want to return in home

Tsuchi 'carries Amane home because he fell asleep too

Mitsuba and Tsukasa are exhausted and have fallen asleep on a bench.

Couldn't take them off each other and as nobody didn't want to wake them up, Sakura sat down next to them and read a book watching them

And when she started to get tired, Natsuhiko took her book from her and read it so she could rest her eyes.

Also: I saw that I had another request but I don't know if you want general christmas headcanons on all TBHK characters or just on Tsumitsu or other ? Do not hesitate to send me a message to tell me so I could do something you like ^^

Walking Blind + Thoughts on The Little Mermaid Being Episode 12

Let’s Talk About JSHK Anime #2

Warning: Manga spoilers up until Tanabata Arc (basically that + the entirety of season 1 + the skipped arcs)

I’m gonna talk about how the anime keeps proving my predictions wrong with skipped arcs, and later right, with consequences. Due note that this isn’t me hating the anime (because I love it). Just my funny experience attempting to Sherlock my way through the anime, plus my thoughts on The Little Mermaid being the finale.

No deduction works when it comes to predicting this series.

It all started when episode 5, The Confession Tree, came out. I was looking forward to it ‘cause I’m hananene trash af. Legit thought the entire episode was gonna be about Kodama.

But then the episode preview pics came out and I was like, “Sakura wtf are you doing here you don’t show up again until three chapters later?”

My first prediction was ep 5 would be entirely Kodama, and then ep 6 would be Young Exorcist. Seeing that these arcs serve to build up Nene and Kou wanting to know more about Hanako, I thought it’d be nice that we set aside two episodes just for that.

But then Kodama finished somewhere around the fifteenth minute mark, and we started Young Exorcist Part 1. Which was, you know, fine. But then instead of continuing, they jumped right to the end of the arc when Nene met Sakura for the first time, and then kept going to No. 5′s rumor and revealed Tsukasa early. Next episode’s title preview confirmed it, too. Ep 6 was gonna be 4PM Bookstacks.

Okay. I still had hope. Maybe they just rearranged the order.

On the other hand, the lack of ‘Part 1′ in the title was alarming. And it came true. They packed four chapters into one episode. A lot of things got cut. There wasn’t enough room for the op, and they had to run the credits while the episode was still ongoing. Though, tbh, other than Tsuchi’s line about him being able to change the books (with dire consequences), I didn’t have much problem with the cut scenes.

Then this thing showed up.

Before ep 5 I didn’t think we’d get Donuts until around episode 9-ish. But nope the No. 7s would meet each other in ep 7 (lmao see what I did there?). Again, I was fine with it, but I was a bit upset about Young Exorcist.

Someone said it may be moved to the finale, and I didn’t like that idea. Mostly because Yashiro, our main audience POV, isn’t in the arc. And it just sounds weird having a finale without your main audience POV.

They could put her there, sure, but that would mean adjusting Nene and Teru’s every future interaction. Even without shipping goggles or Nene’s romance-colored glasses, do you think Nene would still act the same towards Teru if she saw him hurt Hanako like that? ‘Cause that was brutal. Like she wouldn’t run and protect him like she did when they met Kou.

They put Kou and Teru’s resolution from Young Exorcist into their convo in episode 7. This kinda makes Teru a bit useless, though. I mean, he still doesn’t do much in the manga but the tension between him and Kou was supposed to set up this badass fight. Since it didn’t happen, and Young Exorcist isn’t gonna be the finale either, then he’s pretty much useless.

Anyway, the thing about Teru being onto The Broadcasting Club?

Not from the manga.

I’m not sure if Manga!Teru is really onto them. As far as I remember, it wasn’t hinted anywhere in the manga. Do correct me if I’m wrong. So what was the point of that change?

I didn’t get pissed until halfway through episode 7 and suddenly Mitsuba was there, but no fishes.

“What is he doing here, where’s that puffer fish, where’s his murder? Hello?”

I was very neutral about Mitsuba from the very beginning but when he showed up where The Little Mermaid (and my fish murder!!!) was supposed to be I kinda began to grow undeserved resentment toward him (I’m cool now though!). Totally, totally undeserved, because it wasn’t his character’s fault.

I was happy because Mitsuba stans got to see him animated (he was cute, and his VA was so good). But putting him in episode 7??? I mean they just left Hanako and Nene’s tension unresolved like that. That makes the episode really choppy in my opinion. They could’ve had the coolest final shot of the season of Tsukasa murdering that fish to scare and excite the anime-onlys. They missed that chance.

We got to episode 8. Pretty solid. Still would’ve preferred if its first bits weren’t in Donuts, but solid.

Preview title basically confirmed they’re skipping The Little Mermaid too. That was when I lost hope in Young Exorcist. But I tried to compromise. If they weren’t animating The Little Mermaid, then they have to put Hanako and Nene’s conversation and pinky promise in The Little Mermaid at the end of ep 9.

Episode 9 turned out to be my favorite. It was all thanks to Natsuhiko. He really cheered me up over our loss of two arcs. And my prediction was right for once. Hanako apologized for ruining the donuts. That’s definitely not the point of their tension (Tsu-ka-sa and trust), but it was still nice and I’d take what I could get. The hug. The hug was very nice.

I was mostly content, excited to see my boi Akane the next week. But then I thought, wait, we only have three episodes left. And we’re definitely reaching Hell of Mirrors, ‘cause No. 3′s silhouette is in the OP. Then the horrifying thought hit me.

They were gonna skip Searching.

But! The freaking post-credit showed up followed by this:

“They skipped Searching AND Clock Keeper??? Why on earth would you highlight Akane, with Teru of all people, in the OP then?! Paralleling Mitsuba and Kou no less!”

Due notice, yet again, the lack of ‘Part 1′ in the title preview. Before the episode actually aired, this was my train of thought: “Okay so they skipped The Clock Keeper and Searching, and decided to outdo episode 6 by packing 6 chapters (yeah, I counted “Reach Out Your Hand”) into one episode. Ahahaha ... what?”

Thankfully, they proved me wrong. Kay. Good. Thanks a bunch for fooling me with that title preview.

But then it freaking hit me. You got one episode left. The finale. Sure, Clock Keeper as a finale will be perfect. It’s a good hook for season 2. However. You can’t do Clock Keeper without doing Searching. It’d basically be almost the same as doing Donuts without doing The Little Mermaid. The finale wouldn’t feel resolved this way, because, again, there’s tension between Hanako and Nene (and Kou too) that isn’t resolved yet.

Not that Searching addressed the cause of the tension, but at least it brought the trio back to their status quo (well, with a bit of kounene and hananene development haha). Also, without Searching, it’ll only end like this:

Clock Keeper itself is 5 chapters. They can cut and modify. Sure. But y’all saw ep 6.

So that’s why I was sure we’re definitely not getting No. 1 this season. To me, that leaves three options for the finale.

A. Delivery + Tanabata Arc

Best pick in my opinion

It’s the direct continuation to Hell of Mirrors

The main trio are all there, especially our audience POV

More glimpses of Amane is always a plus point

The ‘getting hit by a bull, waking up in the past, and seeing your boyfriend before he died’ is just so random I think it’d be a pleasant surprise for the anime-onlys

Just wholesome in general, leaves the audience feeling good

The-ma-tic!!! You begin the series with Nene’s wish and end it with Amane’s isn’t that just asdfghjkl wish wish wish, everything’s about wishes in JSHK

B. Young Exorcist

Classic boss battle finale

Just Teru’s badassery *chef’s kiss*

Hanako getting emotional (something we haven’t really seen before)

Getting deeper into Hanako’s motive (episode 8 would’ve been more impactful had we had Young Exorcist before it, what with his view of disappearing/exorcism for ghosts being salvation)

Kou’s character development

^ counter argument: he already got the character development he went through in Young Exorcist in episode 6 and 7, plus, he and Teru already resolved their disagreements - though, not as impactful as in the manga

Also wholesome, HanaKou is great I love their friendship so much *sobs*

C. The Little Mermaid

@emee-ems​ pointed out here: “it started with the mermaid so they’ll end it with the mermaid” and I agree

Yashiro being persuaded to leave Hanako, while their friendship was what began the whole series? That’s some good conflict right there

Seeing Hanako worried about Yashiro leaving him? Good shit

Also wholesome (extra shipping content never hurts, either)

Hanako willingly opening up to Yashiro for the first time!!! That’s a big milestone for them

Yashiro accepting that he’s just not ready instead of not trusting her like she’d thought is *chef’s kiss*

That pinky promise! Starting the series making a bond due to unfortunate circumstances and ending the series making/staying loyal to a bond out of choice??? Good shit

Aaaaannnnddddd the verdict was:

Mmmmmkay.

I did previously think we’re gonna end the season with The Little Mermaid. But here’s the thing. It only works if everything is in chronological order.

Why? Because the tension that led to this arc in the first place is resolved already in episode 9.

The whole point of TLM is that conversation at the end, really, where:

Hanako apologizes for ruining the donuts (he already did in episode 9)

Hanako thanks Yashiro for telling him that she liked him

Hanako admits that he had a little brother and that he killed him (Tsukasa already confirmed both of this for Nene, both in episode 7 and episode 9)

So having Hanako repeating all this seems kinda redundant. Nene already knows. Sure, it’ll be nice to hear it from him directly ... but it’s too late now, isn’t it? It’s been four episodes. She’s met Tsukasa three times now. However, point number 2 is still available.

Furthermore, since Hanako already apologized in episode 9, I’m not sure if the fishes can use what happened in episode 7 to persuade Nene to leave him. I mean, she forgave him already. Tension resolved. They hugged and all. And it’s been so long since then.

Animating the fish murder scene is also kinda useless. It was supposed to give the audience a glimpse of how dangerous Tsukasa is. But we already know that. We saw him rip someone’s heart out and force-feed it to someone else.

The first half of The Little Mermaid Part 1 and The Broadcasting Club at the end of Part 2 are already animated in episode 7. That leaves them even more room for extra scenes. I hope they take good advantage of that.

Basically, they have to make a lot of adjustments and I’m curious to see what they’re gonna do.

I am happy that we’re gonna see The Little Mermaid. The way Hanako wipes Nene’s face with his sleeve, and then cradles her head? I need it, they make my heart melt. Can’t wait.
