Confessions are open!

This never gets old <3

Panels like this get overlooked in favor of endless ‘Orihime-bashing’ and “Orihime is useless!’ claims and frankly they’re wrong.

Bleach vol #51 - Chapter 440 ‘Mute Friendship’ Scans from official color manga | scanlations by Ju-Ni

I’ve always liked the Ichigo/Chad/Orihime friendship because there’s just so much gentleness, care, loyalty, support and understanding between them, and it’s a nice change to see Ichigo not acting out a tough-love persona (which is the usual dynamic between him and his other friends). It’s sad that their friendship is severely under-appreciated though :(

I love the startled, wide-eyed look Ichigo gives Orihime whenever she is around him. His tough-guy persona is replaced with a soft, gentle personality. You see a side of him that you don't see with anybody else other than Orihime. This is why I feel that the Ichihime pairing is not one-sided. I feel that Ichigo had feelings for Orihime. He just didn't realize it at the time they were teens. But he's actions clearly shows he felt something romantic with her.

Ichi///rukis are like clowns to me,can you tell

I sometimes think about the good old times and the huge ship wars in the fandom and how I never even imagined that there would be any ship for Ichigo but Orihime. The way Kubo early on hints at Orihime's feelings and the way how Ichigo treats her way differently than anyone else were huge indicators to me that if at all Ichigo ended up with someone, it would be Orihime. Up to this day, I still can't believe how the fandom acted in regards to them, although in my opinion their story is one of the best developed in the shonen genre.

— Orihime saves Ichigo

「Im sorry, Inoue」

For all of Kubo’s declarations that he doesn’t want to focus on romance in Bleach, the very few moments where he does show it we get powerful scenes like this. Methinks he should do more romance ;>

ICHIHIME: PARALLELS (part one)

When I was younger I disliked the scene of Orihime trying to kiss Ichigo while he slept. But now I actually love it and it makes me feel fuzzy when I read it as I understand it better. That girl was only 15 and thought she was going to die so she wanted to do one last thing before that and that was kiss the boy she always loved, the boy she wanted to spend 5 lifetimes with. Even talking about it, makes me love the scene so much more. Ichihime are my comfort couple and I just love every scene of them!

Im alive and it is June my dears, time for some strawberries and for more of my beloved Orihime with her favorite snack ;)
