#i’d die for jakuramu

[slugtranslation-hypmic]

I am sorry if someone already ask. Oh maybe I didn’t look hard enough, but do you have any ships or favorite bromance? I really like jakuramu, samaichi, samajyu, hifudo, and kuko/jyushi. And my favorite bromance is the Fling Posse and a Buster Bros.

Good choices! I’m not sure what you mean by a bromance, so I’ll go with close friendships for that. Because some people don’t like seeing certain ships and I don’t want to clog up ship tags with non-content, I put it under a cut. Open at your discretion.

Ships I like:

Ramuda / Jakurai is my OTP for Hypmic. I love the potential in their character dynamics for interesting interpretations and what they bring out in one another.

Hifumi / Doppo can bring warm, fuzzy feelings. There’s a lot of sweet fanart and fanfiction about this.

Gentarou / Dice doesn’t necessarily bring me joy, but it exists in the “yeah, that’s canon if canon had shipping involved” category for me like Hifumi / Doppo.

Sasara / Roshou is in that category too. It’s pretty cute.

Samatoki / Juuto doesn’t bring me joy either, but my dear friend and typesetter Cosmo ships it, so I look out for it. It’s a ship-in-law.

Ichirou / Kuukou is really cute.

Ichirou / Nemu is also cute.

Samatoki / Sasara amuses me. I like their interactions.

Otome / Ichijiku is, I think, one sided from Ichijiku’s end.

Ramuda / Dice has a lot of very nice fanart. A friend (the incredibly talented and sweet Nana) once brought up a concept for Ramuda / Dice which is unfortunately lost to the world in our Twitter DMs that revolutionized the way I approach this ship, hahaha.

To be honest, I’m fine with almost any ship. Outside of Ramuda / Jakurai, I don’t have particularly strong feelings about ships. I’ll go, “haha, that’s gay” when working on the manga because I have the maturity of a ten year old, but I don’t really think about them that much unless I see fan interactions. Fan art or fanfics are wonderful because you can see the individual’s love and attention for whatever it is they’re working on. That’s what I enjoy more than any ship - watching other people be happy and have a good time thinking about something they care for.

Friendships I especially like:

Anything in the above list but multiplied times ten. I tend to like platonic interactions more than romantic interactions.

ESPECIALLY Hifumi and Doppo. These two dudes have had each other’s backs for what, twenty-two years now? They’re best friends who live together and shape each other’s lives in mostly positive ways. This is the relationship IDEAL. Love this for them. Fuck yes!

I know I never write it because I am a sell-out used to writing romance, but purely platonic Ramuda and Jakurai is so fucking satisfying. Going on adventures together! Broadening each other’s horizons! Being comfortable enough with their bodies to do whatever the hell Ramuda is doing in every TDD panel Yes! Fuck yes!

destroying everything out of happiness Riou and Dice are such FUCKING GOOD BOYS with a super chill, no strings attached friendship that is nothing but supportive on both sides. YES!!

The Fling Posse friendship is IT. Constantly roasting one another, hanging out together and enjoying each other’s company, being the most ride or die bitches you’ll ever see, growing together - FUCK YES!

The entire Mad Comic Dialogue friend group is phenomenal. I love their banter and their willingness to mess around. This is the SHIT.

The Dirty Dawg’s friendship interactions are amazing too. On one end, you have the babysitters (Ichirou and Jakurai) who are bonding over coffee while on the other end, you have Ramuda taking immense delight in fucking with Samatoki at any given opportunity. We have a chapter about this to drop very soon, and I love it. It was a much-needed fleshing out of them. Delicious. Delightful. Thank you, Karasuduki-sensei.

Whatever the fuck Bad Ass Temple has going on is beyond incredible. Maybe it’s only because Kuukou is there (I really like Kuukou), but the dorkiness in Hitoya’s treatment of the two kids, Juushi opening up to them both, and Kuukou’s loudmouth attitude makes this good. So good.

Oh yeah, I think Nemu and Jirou could be really good friends. They had a cool interaction in the TDD manga. I’d be so down to see Nemu hanging out with the younger part of the cast and causing havoc.

Sorry if this sounds random and all but I just wanna say I love Jakuramu so much. It’s my top ship in HypMic and I get happy finding anyone who also loves it.

Listen, I’d both die and kill for Jakurai and Ramuda, JakuRamu, and their relationship. I cannot begin to describe the amount of absolute love I feel for them, both as individual characters and as a couple. I’m literally multiship as fuck in everything else but JakuRamu? Only JakuRamu. I can’t even imagine them loving anyone other than each other. Their chemistry spreads alllllllll the way. They’re so… so… so perfect, god, and hey! I have SO MUCH JakuRamu fics on the stock, and they’re being updated everyday (not officially, but like, everyday I’m consistently writing to add up and finalize the chapters). If you ever want to talk and cry about JakuRamu do hit me up! 💕
