Happy Valentine's day my bickering duo."My Sheila". My roman empire. It is saddening that the fandom is pretty much dead . Every Ayapin post is mostly up to 2018 . I'm very late to this fandom. I'm also very late to Tumblr I believe. I wish I could meet all the people who love this ship. 2024 release of the anime made me aware of it's existence and I became a fan. A supporting character's story was very impactful and bittersweet. But I loved it very much. I read it all at once. So I can't truly relate how every other person had to wait for days weeks ,months or years for this ship's update. But trust me I still feel very empty, desperate and frustrated . I don't have enough people to chat about this with. Most people won't even agree with me. But the way Pin and Ayane is written is very intelligent of the writer I believe. They always had childish bickering and gave us comedic moments. It's painful and tragic when the realization happens that no matter how much you like their moments, shipping them is considered problematic. It is also beautiful that Pin who is always unserious about everything becomes the mature one while dealing with a sensitive issue like this. He gently rejects Ayane but he also waits a whole day for her and remembered giving her eraser. He also gives her encouragement. It is named "reaching you" and it can be applied to everyone in the story. Probably Pin also goes through some character developments and we can see a caring, sweet side of him. Pin is sweet with Sawako too but it is different with Ayane. The irony that Ayane is always forced to be mature in her friend group and Pin is the immature one but when they cross each other's paths their roles are reversed. Pin brings out her youthful childishness and Ayane makes him a mature thoughtful person. The fact that most people misunderstand Ayane is really sad. Most people judge her due to her appearances and she has been a victim several times. Pin has knowingly unknowingly protected Ayane several times. He also never took advantage of a vulnerable person . Pin always saw Ayane as a person unlike others who lusted after her.Pin respected her. It is fascinating seeing someone like Pin who behaves like a pervert mostly to be a different person when it comes to Ayane. He was clear about not liking someone young and but you can see that his feelings are very much pure and genuine. It is based on kindness, admiration and respect.I hope they end up together in the future.

How supportive 😂

I guess it didn't just happen out of nowhere. Ayane did act like she hated Pin a lot because of his childishness. If someone said that they like Pin she would find it funny but underneath she cared about him. And her care might have reached Pin too. Her giving him things to eat like chocolates and everything influenced Pin . This opened the opportunity for him to get involved in her matters. If Ayane was always cold and distant towards Pin he might have cared less. Ayane really doesn't let others interfere in her matters. But she unknowingly did that for Pin. Kento might have took stand for Ayane which I am very grateful for but he was forcing Ayane. He could have cared without getting romantically involved. Even his words like let me lend you shoulder did not do much. He was always doing this even with Sawako. But Pin makes it special because he genuinely cared about Ayane later on. He motivated Ayane. He brought a towel and bag to cover her in the rain. He tried to check if she was actually sick being concerned about her health. Pin also protected Ayane from people hitting on her. And whenever she looked down on herself he encouraged Ayane to not think like that. It was not forced. He also waited a whole day to know her result.He wanted the best for her career. It's kinda hard to know how Pin saw Ayane but subconsciously he thought she was beautiful at least when he wasn't aware it was her. But even if he did he won't make moves on her which is the best part. Pin is protective of Ayane unlike Kento ( I hate to mention that scene but when Kento kinda forced Ayane on bed I disliked it). People always treat Ayane poorly because of her attractiveness. Even Kento said that she was attractive initially. Kento might have been a lot better than the people before him but he was still wrong. What makes Pin better in my judgement is that Pin respects Ayane. He also adores her. Pin is also close with Sawako but you can see how different it is with Ayane and it affects Pin gradually. I would love to believe that when Joe tells Ayane to kiss him for misfortune Pin becomes furious due to his jealousy and protectiveness.

By the way he also happily says see you tomorrow. You know Pin has a beautiful smile. Not the proud grin he makes like you know whenever he's actually smiling. He's smile sometimes looks like he's sad too the same smile when he made while rejecting Ayane.

I am really fascinated by Kimi ni todoke. I love how it portrays romance between different pairs. The shy and awkward Kazehaya and Sawako, the friendship between Chizuru and Ryu. The way it gradually changes from being friends to lovers. People's focus shifted from Sawakaze to ChizuRyu for the complexity of the situation. I love anime or manga with Summer vacation, School festivals , Christmas Valentine's, birthday , dating etc. I love the feeling of teenage love and the restlessness that we see from eye contacts to , holding hands to kisses. I love how the writer showed us two couples with all this. I was laughing a lot too while watching the anime. I was sad and shocked to know when Kento and Ayane broke up. But the Pin and Ayane dynamics just hit different. I don't know how the writer wants us to interpret about them. But I learned a lot from Ayane's character and this unusual pair.It teached me that you don't need to see two characters hold hands, kiss and act lovey dovey to experience love.Pin and Ayane were barely a couple. I was laughing at their scenes. They're my favorite comic duo. But the way Pin just ends up saving her multiple times from bad people and Ayane gives him chocolates and snacks to return his kindness moved me. Pin also motivated her. As a mature acting teenage Ayane who fails to understand herself Pin brought the childishness in her. Have you seen how she blushes and smiles due to Pin? Have you seen how pretty she looks? Isn't it amusing how she pretty much appears that she hates Pin but one head pat makes her go crazy. I was so sad when Pin said "this is my Christmas gift to her" when Kento fought for Ayane. I loved their bickering. I love every duo that bickers like this and also blushes. Acts of service and words of encouragement are really my favorite love language. The way Pin gives her poly bags so she doesn't get wet in rain ughhh. Then also when he checks Ayane's temperature and is concerned if anything is bothering Ayane. It was deep. In the last Christmas Ayane ends up walking with Pin and buying him coffee. They were not dating but that was also beautiful. When Pin waited a whole day to know about Ayane's result and also brought an eraser for her was so beautiful. We see that lately Pin is behaving differently for Ayane. He also got mad at Joe for asking Ayane kisses.He was jealous for Ayane!!!They didn't do any couple things but I felt love. Another thing that I learned is you don't owe people love. If someone treats you nicely you can treat them with kindness while rejecting them. But it is necessary for you to love them too. You need to truly love someone with your whole heart. Don't do it because someone is nice to you . I have seen people calling Ayane ungrateful for rejecting Kento. But you have to understand her perspective too. You shouldn't force your feelings on someone. Kento also taught me to not force my emotions on someone and also to choose someone I actually love. I hope Ayane reunites with Pin someday. Also I love that Pin helps Ayane to know her goals. I really love it if the ml encourages the fl to pursue their career. As her teacher it is expected of Pin but still in other dynamics I would still want it. I also love how he is unconsciously attracted to her but won't make moves or take advantage of her. We know how he actually respects her by the end of the series. Always cheering for this unusual bickering couple #ayapin
