We don’t condone harassment of any other pairings— We wish not people to come here to shit on other ships, or for people to shit on this one.
I am also well aware that this ship is both not popular and not hinted at, well, at all. But we’re still here to have a good time, nonetheless!
Welcome to Klugami! It’s a blog dedicated to the ship between Klug and Amitie from Puyo Pop Fever! I write fanfiction, draw pictures, and sometimes share other stuff regarding the pairing! Feel free to stay here and check out my main blog @redamity
The ship is also known as “Amiklug” or “24manzaishipping”. More likely the former. However, the pixiv tag is “クルアミ” (as in, “KuruAmi”, so the blog name is that!

Hello everyone, welcome back to KlugAmi, the blog where I sometimes poop out content. Today, I’m writing an essay, since I believe some may be confused. After all: why ship this? There are better options for both of them, same sex, different sex, in school, and out of school. And even if we multiship, there’s not much these two have. In such an expansive cast, this could feel like the ‘Durr, Girl and Boy were classmates!’ that someone made up in Fever 1 that they stubbornly refuse to let go of.
Well, for starters, awesome, I like other Klug and Amitie pairings too, because that’s just natural. Secondly, I mean, there is SOME stuff these guys have. Some. These two have. That’s why we’re here! I guess we could call it “Why I like this pairing”.
As You may have gathered, “KuruAmi”, otherwise known as “KlugAmi”, “AmiKlug”, “AmiKuru”, or “24manzaishipping”, is a pairing that features Klug and Amitie from Puyo Puyo Fever. When we go to their debut, it seems pretty promising— he’s the only male who’s of a similar size to Amitie, and he interacts with her in a funny cutscene (though arguably the Raffina version is funnier) so it’d be pretty easy to go “Hey, I can work with this!” And work people did, as even as early as 2010. But wait! Didn’t Puyo Puyo Fever 2 release by then? And you’re right! It did! By that point, so did 7. But Fever 2 is important.
How, you may ask? Why, it gave us a whole extra interaction!! Multiple, in fact. If you will, Amitie is the only person to immediately (kind of) tell that Klug isn’t himself. By something minuscule. And from Klug’s end, he specifically wanted her to battle him again after his possession. So what does this mean for us? It means that Klug wanted (to beat up) Amitie. Ok, that’s not a good start. But they share a classs! That’s something!!
“Ehh? This is just a history lesson!!” You may ask. That it is! But if I listed every interaction we’d get really bored so we’re going to say that they’re canonically friends. That doesn’t say a lot for Amitie but it says a lot for Klug who is generally repulsive (affectionate)
So naturally, their dynamic is of an energetic if airheaded girl and a serious but almost foolish boy. Really, Klug has his moments where he is stupid, and Amitie has her moments of brilliance. By cranking it upward, you can almost craft a romantic dynamic out of this: if you wanted to, you could read Klug as “Tsundere”, and the Girl of Love incident helped matters none. And Amitie, being Amitie, is the type of person someone like the serious Klug would end up falling for.
Now that we’re out of canon, we can dip our toes into Fanon some more. Recall our friend Klug is a bit serious. He wouldn’t let his emotions show if it didn’t make him look good. And what would make him look lamer than being in love with Amitie? Precisely! He must hide it. Like a Moron. What of Amitie? As usual, she’s usually oblivious, but other times, the Magazine Incident side of her is brought up, being a sort of “Teasing Type”. You’ll find work where she’s the butt of the joke at times, so this can really go either way. Sometimes, fanfiction takes the approach of Amitie’s antics softening the boy up, be it intentionally or otherwise. Either way, it is his feelings that come first.
Now one must consider this fact: back in the day, there were fans of this pairing. Well, more fans than today I mean! If you search it up, you’ll get most results being OLD, with the first picture on Pixiv being 2009, and the first novel in 2010. That’s older than some Puyo fans as of today, and that’s not even counting anything sold at conventions back in the day that could predate Pixiv itself (2007). Of course, given that a majority of it is in Japanese, it’s very hard to make big gauges- in fact, of the fanfiction there is, my info is sourced from maybe… less than five of them! Well that’s why there are drawings, which have a similar idea- Lame Boy Klug! (Affectionate)
You may notice this section is rather short! That’s pretty easy. Let’s briefly mention that searching this pairing up may result in an unwanted, sinister option— that being Ayakuruami: the pairing of the Crimson Demon and Amitie (usually her 20th alt costume). This makes searching up difficult, especially if you’re using the JP name. However, if you brave yourself, you’ll find the normal works soon, so don’t give up yet!
As you know… this is a Klugami blog hell yeah!! We <3 KuruAmi!!! But I never really mention the exact dynamics I like… well, it’s complicated!
To start with, I think KuruAmi is most interesting to think about when it’s unrequited Klug → Amitie. This isn’t the most “canon” outlook, fuck, there’s no canon outlook, but I think the appeal is best to have a Klug go through the motions of romance while Amitie has no idea. Maybe she’d make fun of him, but she does not reciprocate.
This leads into my next favorite idea: KuruAmi becomes “real” when they’re older. What does this mean? As it is on the tin! Once they grow out of being dumb little tykes, we can then use their changing responsibilities (and the potential Tragedy that is Klug’s own Downfall) to really get into the juice of things.
We can go beyond the silly childhood romance we must get into the romance that would be overt. Imagine the Klug getting more desperate to become the greatest because he’s getting more aware of his inferiority because Amitie is just so cool. What if it’s because he wants to be on her Level. Do you know how crazy that’d be alongside the romantic baggage.
Amitie trying to become even closer, she already can tell when something is wrong, so what’ll happen if she realizes that Klug’s worsening himself because of his feelings for her? Even if she knows it’s mutual affection because she too loves him, what if this alone can’t save him? What if she would try anything to deter Klug from his tendency to draw ever closer to the End? Beautiful. Perfect.
But even ignoring the tragedy, this can still be fun. Amitie’s still Amitie, and she’d probably be excited about the idea, but once they actually go out, she would have no idea. In a way, Klug’s the same, but he’d put on a brave face. This can be at any time! So cool! Two inexperienced people who have their cards to their chest, but while Klug would play it off as if he’s got a good hand, Amitie is playing Go Fish. I guess that’s the metaphor.
What? Why should you ship it? You don’t have to, but it is quite funny. If nothing else, I urge you to give this pairing a spin- maybe one drawing, one Drabble, one thought in your head. If you don’t like it, that’s alright! There are probably more ships that are more interesting, or maybe you just don’t like these characters, or maybe you think they have a more platonic dynamic. Which is pretty cool, too, I think they could be funny friends if Klug did not tragically die in Los Vegas.
Whatever the case, I wanted to get my thoughts out. Uhm. This wasn’t. Really a conclusion.
There are plenty of rarepairs I enjoy but I absolutely ADORE KlugAmi aka Klug x Amitie.
I love the potential they could have together along with their interactions which sometimes cracks me up. (Like the magazine scene in Fever 2)
I could make a list as to why I do love this ship to make this short and sweet my favourite moments with them: In he 20th Anniversary Klug did confide in Amitie about his insecurities, (under the influence of the potion granted).
Amitie recognised that Klug was possessed by the Book Demon and he in turn gave her the Sun Bookmark as a way to thank her and the whole thing in Puyo Puyo on Stage with them together.
Also Puyo Puyo Fever 4Koma King had Amitie kiss Klug on the cheek, that was so popping cute!
Klug does stationary shopping mostly to get more pens or notebooks that runs out pretty quickly from how much studying he does.
One time he remembered that he saw Amitie was lacking some school essentials in school and feeling a bit generous for once, decided to get a notebook and some pens. Only because he wanted to be a good classmate, how can she get any studying done if she doesn't have the right equipment for it, right?
Of course Amitie was thankful for the gift, even if she thought it unlike him but she appreciated that he was looking out for her in his own Klug way.
Bonus points that he went for a cute themed stationary because it made him think of her not that he would ever admit that out loud of course.
