I’ll work on this later, for now, all u need to know is that I love everything about Kou. (if u recognize me, I’m also active on the Genshin Impact wiki.)

* currently being worked on :]*

About me= “You look good under my feet LOLOLOLOL” - Mitsuba

Hiya! Hola! Howdy! Aloha! You can honestly call me whatever, but most people call me shrimp. (I’ve even gotten called “shrimpy” by a friend, haha.)

I am a uncertified (I’ll get there eventually..) Kou enthusiast and lover of all things cute! While I do enjoy wholesome content, there’s nothing like good ol’ cursed AF memes! (especially the damn Tsukasa memes, man.)

im also hella gay and have simped for more chicks than I can name.

Minamoto Kou= since I doubt anyone will see this, I’m probably just gonna go all out and write a fricking essay on Kou when I have the time.))

His personality
“I think it rocks!” Little warning that this does contain slight manga spoilers!

Alrighty, let’s do this.

One thing I absolutely adore about him? His sweetness. Even if you don’t like him, you can’t deny that he isn’t just the sweetest little thing. ''' Kou is generally a sweet guy. It’s stated he will give up his life for anyone, it was what he was taught growing up as an exorcist and a fighter. Those words do not fail his actions, and anyone can see Kou will die for literally anything which is really messed up. He’s 14 for fucks sake. ''' Kou’s loyalty and sweetness is shown many times. From the time he offered to kill himself for Mitsuba, to when in Houkago Shounen Hanako Kun, he selflessly chose Teru instead of himself to have a romantic connection with Nene, who he had a crush on at that time.

 he literally decided he wanted his brother Teru who was there and Nene to have a romantic connection (hence- him saying and I fucking quote, “This will make senpai happy!”) 

Even before he liked Hanako, he still risked his own life to save him. Kou would do anything to keep his friends happy, and I love that about him. He can be goofy and not think stuff through at times, but everyone has their flaws. It’s not even that I simp for him, he’s just so wholesome and he just makes me feel so safe. I don’t really understand it, haha.

His character development
Perhaps I’m biased, but Kou easily has my favorite character development out of everyone in the series. I’m not going to go into too much detail, because I don’t want to spoil the manga too much.

 bruh- chapter 77 hit so hard

like we see kous character shine through

like how he didnt want to become an exorcist

or like how he wished hanako was an evil supernatural so everything would have been easier

like how he doesnt agree with teru but he understands him

like how mitsuba appears and its clear he cares about him so much

and we finally see his mom, and he misses her so much, but understands how he will probably never see her again

but despite all of his friends dying or close to, he is still a sunshine and such a caring boi 

Hanako
Truthfully? I think they might have one of my favorite relationships of the manga/anime.

Kou genuinely cares about Hanako. He’s one of the only people who notice when Hanako is upset. Hell, both Akane and Yashiro were there, and only Kou noticed when he was unusually quiet. While the two do fight, especially over Nene, it’s shown that they’re definitely friends, and they don’t hate each other.

Hanako also plays a big part in Kou’s development. Kou is most definitely open-minded, and during Chap. 10, when Teru comes to exorcise Hanako, Kou has a change of heart and stands up for him, saying how he doesn’t believe he’s truly a bad guy, and, if he does anything suspicious, he’ll exorcise him on the spot. I hope in future chapters we get more interactions between the two, because their relationship is so sweet to me.

Mitsuba
Fuck potatoes. All my homies hate potatoes.

 It’s not the fact that it’s very common in manga like this that there’s the straight couple and then the other two people in the group are automatically paired together- they are so much more than that. They have a deep connection, and both Kou and Mitsuba are somewhat aware of that themselves. Mitsuba is willing to protect Kou from harm- he’s willing to stop him from getting himself hurt for others because Mitsuba cares, and he knows that he’s too reckless and caring and fearless for others in a way that isn’t healthy? 

 ok either aidoro is going to make mitsukou canon (or at least confirm one of them have feelings for the other) or this is the biggest queerbait in history

even motherfucking tsukasa knows

…I think it’s pretty clear on how I feel about the two.

Seriously though, the guy offered to commit suicide just so that they could be together forever. I could just go on and on about these two. You gotta admit their relationship is at least a bit more homo than homie.

Yashiro
I remember when I first started the anime, and it got to the part where you meet Kou, him and Nene had their first interaction, and all I could say was “SIMPPPPPPP”.

In all seriousness, I also think their relationship is really sweet.

 Kou started off with calling Yashiro “Miss” the first time and then stuck with “Senpai”. Never has he went past that.

BUT this is different for Yashiro.

Yashiro has started off calling Kou “Minamoto-kun” and as they grew closer, she has switched to calling him “Kou-kun”! 

At first, Yashiro didn’t seem to like Kou that much, but after awhile, she grew to him (hence “Kou-kun”.), the two typically bond over Hanako; Making donuts for him, trying to discover his past together, stuff like that. As I said at the start, Kou is such a frigging simp for Yashiro. I used to mask it as, “he’s just really sweet, saying how she rocks and how cute she is”, but dude, I don’t remember if he was as big a simp in the anime, but this guy.. yeah, you get it. But, as said before, Kou would do anything to make her happy, even to go as far as to make her and Teru have a romantic connection because “This will make Senpai happy!”.

Honestly though? I think it’s sweet how nice Kou is to her, and wouldn’t mind more interactions between the two.

———— Kou is my biggest comfort character, and, this may sound stupid, but I feel like he’s saved my life. I was in a really bad place when I found the anime, and in a even worse place when I read the manga. But something about Kou just made me feel so much better, so much happier. He helped me gain hope. If it weren’t for Kou, I don’t even think I’d be sitting here typing this.

‘Incomplete! Other characters=

Mitsuba
Mitsuba! I love Mitsi! I feel really bad for him, because honestly, it seems like all he wants is to be human, so that he can have friends. There’s so much more to his character than people label him as, with his recent development and the peak we got to see into his life before his death. However, I feel like there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye. Automatically calling someone a “pervert” when they’re stern with him, calling himself cute, etc. I just hope we learn more about him and his past soon. Also, fuck potatoes.

Shijima
I adore her, and I pity the poor girl. (I’ll go more into detail later, haha..)

Yashiro
I like how she comes off as being stereotypical, but there’s a lot more to her then just your average “princess”. She starts off as constantly searching for and falling in love, but she realizes that she truly doesn’t love them, but who she thought they were. She’s aware of her mistakes, and I really like that about her. I love the development we are getting from her, and hope to see more from this sweetheart in the future,

Hanako
dude I will never get over how BADASS he is. It’s a shame that the fandom sexualizes him so much. He’s a generally interesting and nice guy. Though, I will admit, he is greedy.

Tsukasa
Easily the most interesting character I’ve seen by far. It feels like there’s so much to him, so much we have yet to discover, and, after the latest chapter, it seems like the real Tsukasa isn’t the bad guy here. Also adorable AF.

Tsuchigomori
^ took me forever to remember to damn guys name. In all seriousness, I really like him, and like how he’s almost like a father figure to Amane. I hope we get to know more about him.

He clearly cares about Hanako, even if he doesn’t show it often. He seems to see him as a son, and even now he still looks after him, even if he’s not the type to get involved. Heck, his yoshiro is literally Amane’s moon rock, the thing that seemed most precious to Amane at the time, and was the last thing Tsuchi had received from him before his suicide. Tsuchigomori was so worried he even looked into Amane’s future. So, yeah, I really like him.

‘Incomplete!

Theories
I love theories, especially crack theories. (U should see my journal..)

marking “crack” theories w/ “*”, and stupid theories with “/“.

What is a crack theory?
——- A crack theory is basically a stupid theory you’re joking about, that would definitely never actually happen. Like, Amane secretly being a chick and the reason he killed Tsukasa is because he found out when he walked in on him changing, or something along those lines. Theories= ‘placeholder

Other= *Theories I’m not going into detail about, but suggesting.


 * Shijima and Amane had the same illness.
 * *Tsukasa and Amane are the same person (does that make him a narcissist?)
 * Sakura doesn’t want to be a bad guy.
 * /Maybe Yashiro was so desperate for love, because her parents divorced, and she doesn’t want that to happen to her? (Stupid theory, haha.)
 * /Tsukasa is the most precious thing to Hanako, not because he loves Tsukasa, but because getting rid of his guilt of murdering someone is important to him.
