It’s the toilet trio! OMG I miss them so much 😭💕
I found this sorter on X/Twitter and immediately had to try it out. I’d say I’m pretty surprised by the results!
My Top 5 are 100% accurate for me. No. 6 – 10 are pretty interchangeable depending on the day, but I’m actually kinda surprised that Teru made it into my Top 10 while Natsuhiko didn’t. Maybe this sorter knows me better than I know myself lol 😂
Anyway, I’m curious about everyone else’s rankings! Who are your Top 10? You guys should try the sorter too and see if your results surprise you!
The World Elephant Day is celebrated every year on August 12 🐘
Anyway, why do you think Tsukasa likes elephants? I have a little headcanon about it.
We know Amane loves dinosaurs, right? So I've been thinking that maybe Tsukasa's love for elephants started because they were the "opposite" of Amane's favorite thing.
Or maybe... because Amane claimed dinosaurs first.
When they were kids, I can imagine them playing pretend together all the time. Sometimes they would play pretend as animals, and whenever they did, Amane would always insist on being the dinosaur. But he wouldn't let Tsukasa be one too. You know how little kids can be petty sometimes because they don’t want to share their favorite thing? Like one sibling going, "I want to be Blossom, the pink powerpuff girl!" and then the other sibling has no choice but to be Bubbles or Buttercup.
So I can totally imagine little Amane going: "No! I already picked dinosaur! You pick another animal!"
And little Tsukasa probably argued with him for a while before eventually giving in and choosing an elephant instead.
And somehow, it just became his favorite animal forever.
Of course, this is just a silly little headcanon with zero evidence behind it, but I think it's a cute possibility. 😂💕
After six rounds of voting, we've finally reached the end of the tournament!
And now, it's time to reveal the final results!
With a total of 488 votes.
With 168 votes.
Congratulations to both finalists!
Here is the final ranking based on all the rounds:
Thank you to everyone who participated, voted, and joined the discussions throughout every round of this tournament. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone's opinions, reactions, and even the debates over which duos deserved to stay or be eliminated.
Of course, this was just a fun community game and doesn't represent the opinions of the entire TBHK fandom. The final ranking isn't meant to determine which duo is objectively "the best." I only hosted this tournament as a fun way for us to spend time together while waiting for the hiatus to end, and I truly hope all of you enjoyed it as much as I did.
And if your personal favorite didn't win, don't worry, that doesn't mean you have to stop liking them! Everyone has their own personal favorites, and that's completely okay.
Anyway, do you agree with the final ranking?
What are your personal Top 3?

While we're waiting for the new chapter to come out in August, let's have some fun with a new community game!
A few months ago, we played the TBHK Arc Elimination Game, and it was a blast seeing everyone's choices throughout each round. So I thought it'd be fun to start another voting game.
This time, we're deciding the Best Male × Male Duo in TBHK.
TBHK has so many memorable character dynamics. Whether they're friends, rivals, siblings, or unlikely allies, each duo has its own unique chemistry that makes them enjoyable to watch.
Now it's time to see which one comes out on top!
---------------------------------------
>A × B duo has 5 comments with a total of 100 upvotes.
>C × D duo has 14 comments, but only 50 total upvotes.
In this case, A x B duo has the most upvotes, so they will be eliminated.
---------------------------------------
I know there are a lot of duo pairings in this story. But to keep the game shorter, I've only included duos with enough shared screen time and memorable moments to showcase their chemistry and relationship (sorry if your favorite duo didn't make into the list).
So, here's the list of contestants for this game!
💡 PLEASE NOTE: This is a duo tournament, not a ship tournament. Vote for the pair whose dynamic you enjoy the most, whether they're friends, siblings, rivals, or anything in between.
---------------------------------------
I'm really curious to see how this will turn out. After all, every duo here has such a great dynamic in their own way!
So, which duo should be eliminated first? Which pair is your least favorite?
Comment the names of the duos below, and don't forget to upvote existing comments to give them more points!

Slide to see more POVs! ✨
Thanks to Aida's incredible talent, we're able to enjoy illustrations like these. I always, always admire how beautifully she uses color and lighting to bring every scene to life. And honestly, every single character looks absolutely gorgeous in her art.
20 July is International Moon Day, commemorating the anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. 🌙
We didn’t get a new official illustration to celebrate it this year, so here’s the special artwork Aida created for the occasion a few years back.
Anyway, someone needs to tell Amane that making coffee with a Bunsen burner and drinking it from a lab beaker is wildly unethical. I like to headcanon that Tsuchigomori regularly scolds him for it, but of course, Amane never listens.
I miss this trio so much... I hope once we're back in the original timeline, we'll get to see more of their interactions.
Anyway, while we're all excitedly waiting for the next chapter, I wanted to share some wholesome HanaKouNene headcanons. Have fun reading them, and feel free to add more if you have any ❤️
----------------------------------------
1. Hanako likes to wander around the school to eavesdrop on students' gossip and share it with Nene and Kou after school.
2. Sometimes Hanako visits Kou and Nene during class just to mess with them.
3. Kou was the one who gave Hanako the Nintendo he plays in the ASHK anime opening.
4. Hanako loves hearing the final school bell because it means Kou and Nene will come visit him soon.
5. Hanako sometimes whines and begs Kou to make him donuts. Kou always says no but he ends up bringing them the next day anyway.
6. Kou secretly thought genderbent Hanako was cute. He only denied it because he knew it was Hanako.
7. Nene sometimes practices doing makeup on Hanako, while Kou occasionally brings some of his own clothes to dress him up. Hanako complains the whole time, but he never actually tries to escape.
8. Kou and Nene are always curious about what life was like in the 1960s, so they constantly ask Hanako questions about school, trends, and everyday life back then. Hanako will make up the most ridiculous stories just to see if they'll believe him (they always do).
9. On Valentine's Day, Nene gives Hanako a "honmei-choco" (love chocolate) and Kou a "tomo-choco" (friendship chocolate). So for White Day, Hanako and Kou make chocolate together for Nene in the Home Economics room (the same room where Kou and Nene made donuts). Hanako's chocolate, of course, turns out to be a complete disaster, but Nene happily eats it anyway.
10. Whenever Kou or Nene goes somewhere during the holidays, they always bring back a small souvenir for Hanako. He treasures every single one and keeps them safe in his boundary.
I love how their dynamic completely flips when their roles are reversed.
Baby Tsukasa with grown-up Nene is such a calm and wholesome duo. He's surprisingly well-behaved, and their interactions are just so sweet.
While Baby Nene is so much more hyperactive and relentless that she manages to overwhelm Tsukasa of all people 😂
I really wish they had included them in the group photo too. They’re part of the Mystic Messenger universe and are important characters as well. I feel like they could’ve made an exception just this once for the 10th anniversary. :(
OMG, THEY EVEN FRAMED MC'S PICTURE?? 😭💕 Also, everyone looks so cute in this new artwork!

OMG, this is the first time I've seen this chat box! Does V have a love-themed chat box now, or has it always existed? It's been a while since I last played his route, but I don't remember ever seeing this design before.
Also!! If you open a chatroom where it's just you and V, a brand new BGM starts playing! I was completely caught off guard.
Could this be a hint that new content is coming? 👀 Does this mean we're finally getting V and Saeran's Valentine's DLC...?
Now I'm curious to see if Saeran gets a new BGM tomorrow too!
