I’ve seen a bit of discourse on Twitter, with people calling Nene toxic because she shot 3 Cupid arrows into a sleeping Hanako. It’s… wild. Imagine hating the main character of the entire manga 💀 I could make an essay on why she’s not toxic, but instead I’m gonna go down the other route and say:
If you think Nene is toxic, then oh boy do I have some news for you about Hanako!!
Let’s list Hanako’s toxic behaviours:
Tricked a young girl into swallowing a mermaid scale so he could make her destroy yorishiro’s
Literally admits himself that he didn't plan to care about Nene and was just using her until he caught feelings
Heavily flirted with Nene until she became confused about his intentions, which resulted in her crying
Threatens to turn Nene into a fish when she doesn't bend to his will
Intentionally keeps Nene's lifespan a secret from her, and only reveals it to her after she confronts him about it
Tries to harm Nene's best friend twice! Despite knowing full well she would disapprove (for those who may not remember, along with literally trying to kill her in Nene's stead, Hanako attempts to drop a chandelier on Aoi to lure out the clock keeper he was hunting)
Hanako quite literally locks Nene away, against her own freewill, because he decided it was the best way to save her (despite how much she didn't want to stay there)
Becomes overly possessive and jealous about Nene, to the point that he doesn't even like the idea of anybody saving her life other than himself (there's so many examples I can give on Hanako's possessiveness alone, but just know it's a pretty toxic trait of his)
Constantly thinks he knows what's best for Nene and will act on that interest, never consulting her on anything even though it's about her
Refuses to entertain Nene's desire to die and stay with him, even Tsukasa says he was selfish for that one
Do I even need to mention chapter 71? The entire severance? How Hanako, after realising he wouldn't be able to make Nene forget, decides to try and make her full on hate him and acts cruel towards her Honestly I am certain I am forgetting things, but this is a list of Hanako's toxic behaviors from the top of my head. He isn't innocent by any means!! And sure, I admit Nene has flaws and that's okay, but if you're going to say she's toxic then I'm sorry but you have to include Hanako too because he's far worse. And btw this is just Hanako's toxic behaviors towards Nene, she actually gets off easy, because everyone else gets it far worse from him. Like? Tsukasa anyone?? Murdered younger brother who was abandoned for 2 decades?? The hypocrisy runs deep.
