dearest sunnfish. Let’s mindpalace tashiro akikawa please please please
HI DIRTBRAIN hehehehhe. im not actually sure i have very much to say here. cause their interactions are so limited so far. main juice is from chapter 49 and we've gotten a liiiitle extra in chapter 52 part 1. everybody remember how good shirahama was in chapter 49. this isn't about him i just reread the chapter to get my bearings. hes really cute. anyways. akikawa.
little side note about akikawa: he's most likely the real person behind miyano's favorite bl author akikawa shouko. which is a girl name. we'll all call it a gut instinct just trust us.
SO. Tashiro and akikawa meet and hit it off like. so fast. it is commented on by miyano that that was really fast. they bond over candy. and exchange phone numbers. they also all did a silly little love horoscope fortune thing and Tashiro's said something about how "you're going to have a fateful meeting". which could mean this meeting. (could also be whatever the hell is going on which hanzawa next chapter but we'll go with akikawa for now). (im so good at staying on topic). anyways.
the thing about akikawa. i think. is that he and Tashiro are actually quite similar. they've both got this like. chill charming aura that's just like easy to talk to. put them both in a room and of course they hit it off. and i think tashiro would think akikawa is really Cool. and then in ch 52 we see Tashiro getting really specific reference images of the festival for him. which is cute. and if akikawa is indeed the manga author artist then it'd be super cute if Tashiro would eventually help him out with it Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun style. all the credit to @aranarumei and @dirtbra1n (thats you) for mindpalacing with me about the Nozaki kun parallels. it would be a really really fun setup. and akikawa is so similar to Nozaki in the first place. theyd end up in Some situation where akikawas like Hey help me with this (cutting screentones) and Tashiro gets it down so fast that they just. keep doing it. etc etc go read gekkan shoujo Nozaki kun.
so i guess In Conclusion. i think they'd have a really easy and companionable relationship, romantic or otherwise. and they could also get up to some fun romcom esque situations. peace and love on planet tashikawa. or akishiro. everybody vote now on your phones
