My favorite tiny details about TBHK that no one talks about:
(UGGH for some reason tumblr isn’t letting me put in the screenshots so i’ll update this with them attached ASAP)
1. Okay, people do talk about this one, but Nene is taller than Hanako (I love when people remember this in fanart!)
2. Kou is canonically in remedial classes (and he’s failing them. Even art class).
3. In the very first chapter, Teru admits that he’s been in love with someone for a while, but we don’t actually know who it is. He could be lying, or maybe Akane’s suspicions are correct and he likes Aoi. In 2018, while AidaIro was answering fan questions, they were asked if the person Teru likes really does exist and they answered yes. Personally, I think the one he likes is Akane himself, but that’s just my own theory…
4. Nene is strong enough to pick up Hanako. One could argue it doesn’t count because he’s a ghost and can float, but remember she’s ALSO strong enough to pick up Akane.
5. The Minamoto family has a cat.
6. Natsuhiko makes ASMR videos “for kittens only.” Are they good? Probably not, but maybe he has a gift. As a member of the Broadcasting Club, he has access to some recording equipment.
7. When Akane is upset, Nene shows him pictures of Aoi to calm him down.
8. Sousuke was good at cooking when he was alive, but inexplicably lost all ability to when he became a ghost. We know that he was never really hungry in this chapter of ASHK and just wanted to spend time with Kou, so maybe he’s just pretending to be catastrophically bad at cooking.
9. Akane collects books with characters named Aoi in them. Apparently, he’s never read TBHK though, which is too bad because there’s definitely more than the average number of Aois in that one. He would absolutely love it.
10. Satou claimed he almost fell in love with Teru once. Also, both he and Yokoo had crushes on Aoi at one point, but Akane took care of that pretty quickly.
11. Natsuhiko’s necklace is actually a gift from Sakura. Or… so he says.
12. Nene bathes as a fish. I see people all the time wondering how Nene takes baths/showers, but we actually have the answer to this! In one bonus comic, Hanako invites Kou to spy on Nene taking a bath. Kou refuses and freaks out, but it turns out Hanako is just admiring Nene’s adorable fish form as she swims around in a fishbowl.
13. Aoi once walked in on Akane professing his love to another girl. Unbeknownst to her, he was actually just helping out a mokke. And that girl was actually a mechanical doll child.
14. One of my personal favorites: Kou once skipped class by telling everyone he was having labor pains. What makes it even better is that Yokoo and Satou seem to simply accept this explanation.
