Hi! I'm curious. It's rare to see a Haibara fan not ship CoAi. Is there any reason for you to ship Shiho with other characters and not Conan/Shinichi?
Hi! You're right, it is pretty rare and if you've gone through my blog you'd find most of my opinions and ships downright controversial but these are just my opinions 😂
Anyways, onto my thoughts on CoAi. I am both CoAi and not CoAi at the same time. I know this sounds confusing so I'll explain.
I love the Conan Haibara dynamic as FRIENDS. They've come a long way and their friendship development throughout the show is goals. Haibara and Conan's friendship have come a long way that they always each look out for each other. He looks after her physical and mental safety when there is a BO threat and she covers for him during investigations, whenever he's with Ran and consistently reminds him to not draw too much attention to himself to protect his identity.
Also, can we just appreciate their mum and dad vibes when it comes to looking after the three menaces aka the Defective boys (love them but they always up to no good😂).

Throwback to one of the funniest moments😂👀
Now, why don't I ship CoAi romantically? The answer is veryyyy simple... I am a ShinRan shipper 😂🥰
And besides that, I have other reasons for not shipping CoAi romantically.
Let's be honest, Shinichi is head over heels for Ran and he's oblivious to any romantic advances from any female other than Ran. Not just Haibara, but he also declined his senapi in school before because he only sees Ran.
And while I understand why so many people ship CoAi romantically, I just like them more as friends than lovers. I don't see a spark between them apart from the fact that they share wit, intelligence and their current circumstances
Now I'm gonna say something that might be controversial😗 but I don't want any CoAi fans to be offended or attack me. Please.🥺👉🏼👈🏼
Regarding her feelings for Shinichi, in my opinion it was just a crush. The way I see it, she has escaped a dark, cold past from the BO and Conan was the first person she met who was in the same situation as her. Not only that, but after a while, he warmed up to her, trusted her and showed her the good parts of life.
So I don't blame her for developing feelings for him. I think anyone who had such a traumatic past and manages to escape that then meets someone as warm as Shinichi, you'll definitely have feelings for them since you never experienced that in your past.
Right now, I think Haibara no longer likes Conan romantically anymore. And even if she does, she has accepted his relationship with Ran and even supports them. And anyone who'll say "No she's always reluctant to give him the pill to meet Ran because she still likes him," well, I disagree. The reason she's like that is because that man is reckless and alwaysss brings unnecessary attention to himself.
Also she's constantly warned him that the antidote is a prototype and she's unsure of any side effects so if anything, she's worried about his safety. But other than that, I think she's been very graceful and respectful of his relationship with Ran.
So yeah, bottom line is, I find CoAi friendship goals. But in honour of CoAi fans, I will compile my favourite CoAi moments (funniest canon and non-canon) in other posts.
So stay tuned 💛
