One take I don’t understand is when ppl say romance ruins TBHK or that the manga would be better without it. I think a lot of fans underestimate the importance romance plays in the plot of TBHK, because look at it this way
If Hanako didn’t love Nene, we wouldn’t have gotten the Picture Perfect arc
If Akane didn’t love Aoi, we wouldn’t have gotten the Clock Keepers arc
If Hanako didn’t love Nene, the Severance never would’ve happened, and by extension no Grim Reaper arc, Red House arc, etc.
Every major arc that happens in the story uses romance as a major catalyst. Even many minor arcs like the Misaki Stairs arc, the Mitsuba arc, the Hell of Mirrors arc, and the Nightlife arc have romance as a prominent theme. So without romance, TBHK has no plot. It’s just Nene helping Hanako clean bathrooms while Kou tries to decide if ghosts are good or bad. We wouldn’t even have that much, because without romance Nene never would’ve met Hanako
There are enough mindless action shonens out there, it doesn’t hurt to have one that caters more towards a female audience. Not to mention most shonens don’t write romance well, it’s refreshing to see one that recognizes the importance of those dynamics. Most shonens struggle with romantic and familial relationships and those are the ones TBHK does best, it makes it unique. Many of the platonic dynamics like Teru/Akane and Hanako/Kou are well-written as well, though there are some that need to be fleshed out more (*cough* Aoi and Nene *cough*)
If there were any changes of that nature I’d say it should’ve been a shoujo so that fans wouldn’t be misled about the nature of the series. It’s fine if you like the concept of a haunted high school and wish it had been totally different, but then it wouldn’t be TBHK. Without romance, TBHK has no plot. And I kinda wish more fans would look past their hatred for the ships themselves and acknowledge that
