Could you do an analysis on what Hanako’s life was like when he was human? And his relationship with the “fake” Tsukasa
As in the time gap between Tsukasa jumping in the hole and until he killed Tsukasa because in the 4pm book stacks, when spider face was cleaning up his wounds I see handprints on his wrists which kind of imply Tsukasa (or someone else) did…things
Also do you feel that the manga implies that sort of thing between Amane and Tsukasa too?
I am not very interested in Hanako’s relationship with Tsukasa, so I can't do a 'proper' analysis. But I’ll share some thoughts.
I personally don’t believe there is a ‘fake’ Tsukasa, he has always been weird, he never told anyone that the ‘god’ under the house copied his speech or seem to care much about it, and he didn't show any hint of hesitation or remorse about sacrificing animals to get his wishes, even cats and snakes.
Which was all to grant Amane's wishes, a brother he decided he would die for since four. He has been obsessed with Amane far before learning Amane would eventually kill him.
The only thing the “God” inside Tsukasa seems to have truly done is stunt his growth (he still acts like a child) and give him knowledge a normal human shouldn’t know.
Still, the horror child like framing of this change is the mom's point of view: Amane seems happy.
And Amane’s joy remains for years.
When Nene travels to the past and meets Amane, who appears to be at the very least eight years old, it is heavily implied he didn’t come with his parents, just Tsukasa.
At this point in the story, I don’t think he was being abused, physically or emotionally: He is eager to trust and help Nene, who is a stranger, and he displays a lot of confidence, honesty, and joy. Not being scared even when Nene try to steal his wishing paper.
He doesn’t seem particularly troubled with his family either. He ever implies a member of his family is crazy, or shows intentions of wanting to use his slip to ‘heal’ them, as a kid as sweet as him would likely be inclined to do. He seems a bit lonely cause his bro was focusing on something else that he can't interrupt instead of keeping him company, but that's about it.
And in Shijima's world they are buddies, which would be... weird... if Tsukasa eventually started to hurt him.
But I’ll be honest, considering how old this plot point is, Amane’s injuries are extremely vague. It could be anyone.
Maybe something happened, and Tsukasa got violent, and clingy to the point of being hurtful, maybe his parents snapped and Amane couldn't blame family, maybe is a third party, maybe is a curse, I don’t know, I don't plan to re-read the entire manga to get a better feel on it, but since you asked for my opinion, I personally think this turn for the worst in his life is partially the red house fault, and partially Amane’s own actions.
Let’s rewind a bit.
Tsuchigamori, or spider face, said the only person to alter their own fate was Amane. Not Tsukasa, who was influenced by future Kou, or Nene, who is always seeing the past: Just Amane.
Changing the future is such a big deal it became Tsuchi’s yorishiro, the spider can’t get over it. So I would say it is important to consider this is his ‘normal’ future.
So what changed Amane’s wish? What made him give up?
It wasn’t Tsukasa’s disappearance or reappearance. It was his meeting with Nene.
These slips are a big deal.
We are told they are rumored to make your wish come true in a land of supernaturals where every rumor so far was true. And that it is so hard to get all the five colors, that Yako was never able to, and she is an old spirit.
And the wording Amane used is... Concerning.
As the astronomy teacher was fated to be, Amane would have never met Nene again, and even in the case he was still teaching at by the time she was a student, she would not be an ‘onee-san’ anymore: He have to die before 14 for her to stay an onee-san when they met again more than sixty years later.
I do think the red house and Tsukasa and so on plays a big part in Amane’s fucked up life, but it is strange he only got injured and “gave up going anywhere” after meeting Nene and putting his wish on the Tanabata tree.
We have no info on this part of his life though so it’s anyone’s guess.

Is it funny that you did well on drawing a character from a series you know and then when you draw your own characters is not really good compare to ones you draw from that series?
IIIIIIIIIII’m not sure how to answer that because I am not a drawing artist whatsoever.
But I do see where you are coming from and agree with you. Because it’s easy to write stories about characters from other series in fanfictions because there’s already been an establishment of characterization and the world they live in and their storylines and character arcs. We got the base we can work off of or build from.
But in original stories, you have to basically create these stuff all on your own. Create your own world. Create your own characters. Create your own storylines. Which can maybe or maybe not be as great as the stories you loved (I’m pretty sure it can be; it really falls on the person’s personal interests).
And even then, honestly, when it comes to writing fanfictions, you still have to worry about making sure the characterization is still accurate at least. And just hope people comment you enough that you did a good job doing so.
Have you played or heard of Genshin impact or perhaps played any games that involve with supernatural and spiritual
tbh I heard about it, I even saw crossovers with Hanako and that girl, but I didn't play. I'm honestly not a gamer.
Does Hanako have some qualities?
Oh boy does he. I wonder if you meant to type "good qualities"? I tend to give him a hard time out here or cheer on his difficult traits (mostly because I feel people less often observe that head-on), so maybe you want to know what is positive about him? Apologies if you meant something else, but I'll answer for now as if this said "good qualities"...
Hanako's most incredible quality to me, which no other character has, is his deep endless romanticism... his utter commitment, his devotion, his obsession, the manner of which he thinks of things is I feel ... just more poetic and naturally artful than, anyone else. I think it makes sense that being in love with Hanako winds up making you equally obsessive and sick (Nene and Tsukasa dealing with this both)... I think it's just, impossibly captivating. I really think Hanako's heart is the most elegant here... his love is incredible. To get the chance to be loved by Hanako-- you would not ever want anything else.
And if he didn't love you, you'd just die.
Nene is a childish and crude little poet girl, doing her best to write her feelings out (but naturally following a more trope-y, rather ignorant perspective, starting out)
we love it. Tsukasa does his best with his sincere gestures...
...both are very sweet. Kind of ... innocent naive little things, Nene and Tsukasa.
There's something about how Hanako expresses his heart, in the rare moments we glimpse it... its like a peek at the burning sun..
capable of setting up a telescope to face at a star he feels powerfully about, a metaphor for feelings he has.
a natural sense of incredible poetics, speaking in celestial bodies...
unlike Nene.. I don't think Amane really reads romantic poetry and aches to become such a protagonist. He's not copying anything he's seen or read. This is just the magnitude of which he conceptualizes his own feelings for others-- equating them to the incredible wonders of the sky that have bewitched him since he was a child.
when Amane's love comes out, it wants to express itself in incredible extremes. In intoxicating, delusional epiphanies,
with imperative severity
which is also why he acts possessively and dangerously ... it's all fueled by this-- the beautiful center-- the unbearable, indomitable love he cannot help but be consumed by! Right or wrong, it compels him! He can't help it!
I really think ... that Nene and Tsukasa are both trying to chase down the root of Amane, uncover this thing inside of him... while neither can really seem to confirm confidently his love for them (at least, at one point)....
this is really the most romantic manga I have read ?? sounds crazy. But true. and It's only like that because of the center of it, the title character, being absolutely insane with passion...
Amane would do anything for love .... when he acts dangerously in canon, when he risks his soul, he's doing it for love.
It is a kind of love Nene or Tsukasa could never find anywhere else, never in their damn lives ... I honestly don't think you would see this love even in Akane. Not to be all Me about it but .... I think true love does make you insane.
while Amane needs to learn how to COMMUNICATE WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM!!!!! he does not need to work on or fix his heart, which, I believe, is unbelievably pure.
What the concept of being a bounded spirit in TBHK i mean is in the title so it has be important right? probably more important in it’s original title in Japanese
Yes... the title matters... there is also a hint of "toilet-bound" in English.In Japanese it must be a pun by AidaIro "Jibakurei" means
In English as in the original, it is associated with the place of death. So it's possible that Amane killed Tsukasa in the toiletin school and killed himself as well.
Ok this is kinda for you if you can be a supernatural (any mythology being) who or what will you be besides the 7 mysteries of the school?
Ps: I will really want to be a Ōkami dragon as my avatar
That's a very interesting question… I have my own imaginary OC that is human, haha As for mythology… also a dragon… dragons are my favorite mythological animals, so… name… Mariko^^ So it's nothing original, but hey dragon and they are great mythological animals <3
And your oc is so cute <3
This describes their differences very clearly
:)
She?
But amane a boy right?
Unless you mistyped
What your thoughts on TBHK pilot
I really like the pilot version. Amane is so cute there too! I even like Nene a lot and I really want this version of Nene than in the original. The only thing that hurts me is that Amane hates herself and it shows so much in this version.
Amane's perfection!!!! HE'S PERFECT in every panels and these are my the most favorite
JUST HIM
HIM
Amane is the best in pilot and original story
The pilot version has its place in the original story. For example, Amane vs Kou on the roof, there are references(of course with big changes). The only thing I'm glad they didn't add is "strike" every time Amane decides to withdraw a wish.
