Seikan Ferry Hakkôda-maru

Having visited the museum ship Mashû-maru in Hakodate, I made sure to see the other preserved train ferry, the Hakkôda-maru, when in Aomori. In fact, it was the very next day! I took a morning boat, and had time to wander in the afternoon.

Like the Mashû-maru, the Hakkôda-maru is permanently moored where it would have docked when in service, out behind Aomori station, with the train tracks continuing only a few hundred metres before reaching the shore. Unfortunately, a big road bridge blocks the view of this layout from the station overpass, but at least we get a close-up of the linkspan, the ramp that was used to roll wagons on and off.

I was somewhat concerned that this ship would offer more of the same, but a lot of more work has been done to the Hakkôda-maru to allow visitors to get around. On this boat, the train deck was accessible, and they have a few wagons on display! The green floor has been added, and normally the rails would protrude, making it a risky place for the public; as mentioned before, passengers would not have been allowed here in service, they would have disembarked their train and boarded the passenger decks directly.

This is the kind of access I was hoping for on the Mashû-maru, and the Hakkôda-maru really scratched the Speyer itch, as the engine rooms and even the funnel can be explored! On the picture at the very top, you can just make out a few people standing on the funnel, now turned into a viewing platform. Going up there among the exhaust pipes was not what I expected, I thought the interior would have been gutted!

Of course, the passenger areas and the bridge are accessible on Hakkôda-maru, and the crew's quarters at the bow have also been preserved. Half of one deck is a local history museum, harking back to the Shôwa era and activities that happened around the Seikan ferry. So overall, the Hakkôda-maru is definitely the superior experience of the two memorial ferries, but if you're in Hakodate, show the Mashû-maru some love too - it's the only one with a horn!

Of course, both ships had a bell, which is still in commission. Giving a gentle ring feels like bringing a bit of life back to the vessel, or paying respect of sorts for its years of service.

These two are ACHING for a Hulk AU. Seiko turns into her big scary monster form just to protect Mikan from bullies?? Yeah!! Yeah yeah yeah yeah y

They definitely share a meek demeanor as a result of being bullied! They could understand each other like almost no one else and encourage each other's growth!

Mikan/Hiyoko

This is a ship that is going to give some people some Squicks. And that's okay! This is not a ship for everyone, and you don't have to force yourself to ship it. None of this is intended to excuse Hiyoko's treatment of Mikan, and should all be taken with a grain of salt. That said, the way their relationship is presented in the manga, specifically, is one of the few genuine looks we get at Hiyoko and why Mikan remained friends with her throughout their time at Hope's Peak.

"Bandage of Reconciliation" from the DR3 Comic Collection by DNA Media is a very sweet look at Hiyoko's difficulty connecting to others, as she blames herself for Mikan skinning her knee. It draws a very clear line between what Hiyoko feels is "acceptable teasing" (as nasty as she wants to be through words) and "crossing the line" (causing physical harm), and it shows Mikan easily navigating that line, showing that she understands Hiyoko and her perspective, even if it often seems cruel. Frankly, I'd love to just post the whole thing, but instead I'll just throw in the very end, because they finish by holding hands and that's cute.

And this is from the more lighthearted "Making Pig Bar" from the anthology by Dengeki comics! Here, Chisa approaches Chiaki to find a solution to Hiyoko's bullying Mikan. Chisa's solution is to make a VR Mikan who's less nervous so Hiyoko can ease into seeing Mikan as a better person, but after seeing the VR version, Hiyoko insists that she likes Mikan as she is, and it just so happens that how she is is very meek and easy to tease. She and Mikan both agree they like their dynamic how it is.
