Hananene - Blog Posts

Sure! Hanako have too much to work with, since he is the main character, so I’ll focus on the thing I love the most about him: His inexperience when it comes to caring about others.

Hanako put up thick walls between himself and his peers, rarely connects to others, be they humans or supernaturals.

Helping students and keeping them safe is his duty, his punishment to atone, not something he personally wants, his own personal view is far more ‘cold’, Amane’s empathy was destroyed after he became a supernatural, beaten down after sixty years of being dead.

What he tells Kou here is true.

He has shown time and time again, people’s life isn’t particularly important to him,  he’ll exchange one life for another without guilt for the person he doomed because of personal preference, and had destroyed yorishiros since the start of the manga, knowing of the danger of doing so, for his own gains.

Before the manga story starts, Hanako is alone.

He plays with the other mysteries but he doesn’t consider anyone his friend. He keeps a distance even from Tsuchigamori, unaware Amane’s moon rock is his old teacher’s yorishiro and only seemingly not talking to his old teacher much, only looking for him when he needs Tsuchigomori for something.

He is apathetic to practically everything, drowning in his own misery: Tsukasa is the only one that can break him out of his apathetic state, and he is the one Hanako keeps running away from. Hanako is the titular character but we never saw his boundary because he can’t face Tsukasa, his yorishiro, finding it much easier to hide and spend his afterlife in the bathroom instead.

Tsukasa was important to Amane, and while he is important to Hanako as well, Tsukasa is rarely perceived his brother, his presence is mostly treated as the personification of Hanako’s guilt. Hanako hasn’t tried to understand Tsukasa’s feelings or expressed worry about his well-being: out of all his comflicting emotions, his priority is usually to look away.

Hanako has spent a lot of his afterlife in this limbo of running away and not connecting with anyone, but eventually, he met two people he got very attached to: Kou and Nene.

He loves them a lot, much more than he loves himself.

He will try his very best to face Tsukasa, face the embodiment of the trauma he has been running away from for decades, to keep them safe.

Most of the time, Hanako fails: he is too terrified to act, he gets panicked or paralyzed, trapped in the past.

He can’t help when Tsukasa is his oponent.

Even outside his past, there are still things Hanako can’t help with.

The guilt and panic and pain of having no use for someone he wants to help hurt, but Hanako doesn’t run away from this pain.

He tries to help anyways, to reach out as best he can.

And Kou’s trouble linger in his mind, when the kid gets depressed again, Hanako will try to help him again.

He want Kou to feel better.

He may have said “He is kind of like you, isn’t he, No.2?” but he doesn’t care about Yako or her attachment to Misaki, his attention is on Kou the second he finish his request: interested in his reaction, not her feelings.

He is selfish though, he cares about their feelings, but he mostly listens to his own, which is most obvious to see with Nene.

In the clock keepers arc he mentioned he kept Nene’s lifespan secret because he wants her to live her best life in blissful ignorance, but he doesn’t make her the priority, he makes himself: He is aware she hates toilet duty, no one enjoys being forced to waste their evenings cleaning bathroom, but he likes it.

And he rarely enjoys things, so he can’t let go of it. He can’t sacrifice this hint of joy for the sake of Nene living “her best life”

He adores spending time with her, and since he has very little self-worth, he is convinced she would never spend time with him by her own volition, he needs to use the cleaning duty as an excuse.

Is why he gets so happy when she calls him a friend.

This love, this care, is something Hanako really wants from her.

But is also something Hanako doesn’t think he deserves.

He can get frustrated by how much they love him, by how distorted their view is, as if he is a ‘good ghost’. He loves their otimist, and he get annoyed by them, he loves them but he is constantly looking down at them for it. He loves them but he hates himself.

So he sabotage himself.

He tells Kou and Nene point blank his bad traits “I am dead already. I don’t care if someone dies or not. ” “I killed someone and you shouldn’t excuse it” “I am selfish, I care about you Nene, and not your best friend.” are things he only tell Nene and Kou, as if he was screaming. “I am not a good ghost” even if he will never  tell them “Leave me alone, stop visiting me.”

Hanako is constantly fighting between clinging to what he loves, regardless of how much his behavior hurt them, and telling himself he should want them away from him.

Both of his attempts to save Nene involved being away from her, either trapping her in picture-perfect until she forgot about him, or exchanging Aoi’s lifespan with Nene’s, saving her but making it so he can’t see her again, and she would eventually forget about him.

The more Hanako’s love for Nene grow the bigger the lengths he is willing to go for her, even if at it core, his love remains selfish, he knew Nene wouldn’t be happy with his solutions, but he doesn’t care, cause she will live, and she will live by his own hands.

He acts like doesn’t know why he does this a lot of times:

And to some degree, he truly doesn’t know.

Hanako has many mental blocks when it comes to admitting vulnerability, even to himself. He looks anguished when he confesses to Nene that he wants her to live.

Which is a purely Hanako wish.

Hanako never had a wish, not outside his “wish” to atone’, which he constantly refears to as punishment, not something he personally want, just something he deserves.

 Even as Amane he had gave up on his wish.

So wishing for Nene to live is a very new feeling.

This wish makes him go against his duties as No.7 and his quest to ‘repent’, but he can’t even care because he really wants her to live. And is not like going against “god’s will” is what trouble him, since he destroys yorishiros the second he got the chance.

He can no longer deny he is smitten with her.

We can see this all consuming care with Kou too, even if it is more subtle it’s still very present, and just as impactful in his afterlife.

Nene is someone he loves but very rarely rely on, she is his special someone, he’ll go above and beyond to do what he believe is best for her, ask anyone and even if they disapprove of his actions, they can’t deny he is clingy, always ready to rescue her.

His view on Kou is different, he is someone he ask to fight and help. Is not that he doesn’t trust Nene, exactly, but he had the “I’ll keep you in the dark mentality” from the secon they met, while he never planed on treasuring Kou, he just saw enough potential, or use, in this exorcist kid, to occasionally rely on him.

Hanako plans for Kou only involved a vague “he can exorcise me later” idea, but he ends up genuinely caring about Kou after he stand up for him agaist Teru the young exorcist arc. 

It’s no longer just “this boy is so funny, and I can both make fun of him and use him”, now Kou is his friend.

Just compare how he treats Kou when he is in at Yako’s boundary, and in Hell of Mirrors.

He has gotten the habit to be honest with Kou, he is always counting on him on little things when they are together, and it hurts so bad when Kou fail, because Hanako trusts him, and he hasn’t trusted someone in such a personal way in 60 years.

Hanako is more comfortable hating himself them his friends, so he usually doesn’t let his dissapointment in Kou linger. Focusing most of his negative thoughts on himself.

Kou isn’t infallible, but he is the one Hanako trusts the most.

Hanako used to trust Kou almost blindly, holding on to the feeling, but once he is let down, he gets so hurt, he resents the feeling.

He is a contradictory character, cause it feels like he hate Kou at times, but he can’t stop caring about him. He only got attached to two people, he can’t pretend Nene or Kou “aren’t important”

He will try to be logical all he wants but his emotions speak louder than his logic.

We know Hanako lingered in Mei’s fake world because his deepest wish is to be human with Nene. So even though it is a big red flag for Nene to see Hanako as her classmate Amane, the supernatural couldn’t resist playing pretend.

Just for a bit, just for a taste of a normal life with her.

He is consistently selfish, and irrational when it comes to Nene. And while behavior with Kou is less and frenzied than how he act with Nene, he still deeply affected by his emotions

Kou can’t be discarded, he is important in his wish, the other half of his reason to want to be alive after years of just accepting his death.

Even may have made up his mind about not going anywhere, he still refuse to follow everyone to Mei’s exit, to the moon, but he wants Kou and Nene to always come to him.

Cause even thought Yashiro was his focus, an Mitsuba took most of Kou’s time, Hanako does make it very clear he want Kou there too. He even try to knock Kou out like he did with Nene the second he notices Mitsuba failed and realize Kou want to run away.

He risked Kou being in this world, indulged Mitsuba in his dream to be human and live a normal school life by the side of friends, which is a wish Hanako has shown to actively disapprove of in hell of mirrors (and is also same wish as the one Hanako have expressed in this arc), because Kou is part of his wish.

His motives for wanting to trap Kou until he lose his memories are unclear but his anger towards Kou for giving him hope after years of nothing only to realize his hope is false is all over picture perfect.

And Hanako is a coward, he discount his anger on Mitsuba, doesn’t explain anything, take Nene, and leave Kou confused.

Hanako only loses his patience and tell how he feels when Kou is in his way, and Hanako needs to beat him if he wants Nene to stay. The one thing that he’ll always prioritize above all else is Nene after all.

There is a certain determination to only focus on Nene after picture-perfect, not take Kou as seriously.

And what kills me is that Hanako’s attempts to distance himself are very half-hearted.

It fails.

No matter how real his anger, his care is just as real, if not more so. He is still eager to play fight with Kou and spend time with him. Their overall dynamic isn’t very affected.

Is always “Nene” and “Kou” and “everyone else”. Even when Kou isn’t in the scene, Hanako thinks of him.

There is this idea Kou is important, an implied “If I can’t save Nene, Kou will be the one to save her”, even with all the reasons and proof he has that Kou can’t do something as big as alter her fate, part of him still believe Kou can do it. Is a part of him that is illogical and Hanako hates it, and doesn’t want to deal with it.

So he focus on Nene’s lifespan, he became obsessed with it.

He has always been possessive of Nene. In any chapter they are together he is touchy and flirty and so openly attached to her he is insane.

He knows he is in love.

He also knows he is the ghost of a dead killed and feels like Nene deserves better than what he has to offer, but he can’t let her go.

He knows he is a bad person and feel like Nene deserves better but he can’t let her go. Even when he is determined to grant her wish, to make a ‘no turn back’ decision, his determination crumbles the second they are face to face, his logic dies and he is just… Happy to see her again.

Even if he knows his plans failed, even if he knows she will die, he just… like seeing her.

His love is openly selfish and doomed to not last, which is something he understands and doesn’t know how to deal with, but just like he can’t force himself to truly hate Kou and stop believing in him, he also can’t force himself to stop loving Nene and desperately trying to find ways to make her live.

He is a mess.

Meimei's note: eu não me lembro que música tava escutando quando fiz essa capa mas era bem melancólica e isso acabou me influenciando a fazer uma capa com esse título :') me perdoem fãs de hanako-kun, por favor, não foi intencional!

Character development in TBHK

Hanako

"She's just my assistant lol" → "Maybe I feel something towards her"

"She's supposed to die anyway" → "Let's change that"

Nene

"He's not my type" → "Not that the type matters"

"A charming prince will fall from the sky and save me" → "No, not like this" x6

Kou

"I'll find and exorcise Hanako" → "Not all supernaturals are evil"

"I don't remember Mitsuba transferring from my class" → "I can't stand to lose him any more"

Mitsuba the ghost

"I only take photos of people that are important to me" → "Something important to me"

Mitsuba the Tsukasa's creation

"I'm not ready to pass on... not while I have not achieved anything" → "I'm a monster and I want to die"

"He has a knife! How can I possibly win?" → "The one who kills most fish wins"

"Who the hell is that guy?" → "I'm glad that I've encountered you and not Teru"

Secondary characters

Nope

CHAPTER 115 OF TBHK BROKE ME >:(

the one time he gets to grow up and nene isn’t by his side…he probably remembered her too but never got to see her or hold her before he eventually forgot!!!! AIDAIRO STOP THIS MADNESS :(

Life would've been so much better

life would’ve been so funny if this panel got animated

SIDESTORY!

NOT A SPOILER!

JSHK CHAPTER 55.5

I-

I just realized the reason Hanako touches his forehead is because he remembers this?!

hananene and mitsukou parallel part 2(72538272) (maybe this one lowkey a stretch but ykw hell yeah)

wyd if your crush tells you they're okay with dying

threaten them

btw this was nene's reaction to hanako confessing that

hummmmmmm and mitsuba doesn't know (yet) about kou (and his whole complex) so what conclusion would he possibly make hummmmm

maybe someone pointed this out already but this hananene and mitsukou parallel goes insanely hard

maybe someone pointed this out already but this hananene and mitsukou parallel goes insanely hard

milgram t3 spoilers!!

"Mahiru died. Right before my eyes..."

0206 as that hananene scene

had to post it before I stare at it too much and start hating it

ive been seeing a lot of tbhk ship analysis' and ive come to the conclusion that almost every single tbhk ship has something wrong it. something fucked up

These scenes being a cinematic parallel is so funny to me because the Hanako and Nene scene is like: "Let's be together in the real world!! <3" and then the Mitsuba and Kou scene is "do you want me to KILL MYSELF for you? :D"

OMG!?!? WTF THIS IS SO PRETTY??!!! (oh wait you guys think I mean Hanako too, right? Nope, just Nene. Hanako old smelly fart/j)

🌙He wanted go to the moon

⚡He wanted be stronger

❤️She wanted someone who loves her

Translation:

(Yashiro is in class)

Hanako: Hey, Yashiro

Hanako:Yashirooo~

Yashiro: What?!

Hanako: Today you look very pretty ♡
