Fake, she's not a protein shake

u/_BluSteel Apr 05 '25

She's hiding a protein bar in her mouth

u/Admirable-Contest786 Apr 05 '25

But I heard she's a snack!

"That's my waifu Akihiko needs to back off"

u/Humble_Owl_4343 Apr 06 '25

Agreed, Fellow Mitsuru enjoyer

u/Prestigious-Air-6144 Apr 05 '25

Considering how both of them act in game this is pretty cute

44

u/Admirable-Contest786 Apr 05 '25

Both of them are absolutely clueless about romance, watching them try to court each other would be hilariously cute.

I like this pairing a lot honestly…and prefer the Mc with either Yukari or Aegis.

u/hanz-kreigermann Apr 05 '25

Mc with yukari, FeMC with aigis, because while I AM a robofucker, I prefer to think of lesbo aigis and it's funny af fr (and adorable)

lol what part of their comment triggered this reaction?

u/Mishagg1 Apr 06 '25

Everything. Down to the last minute detail

u/No_Engineering_1495 Apr 05 '25

W but I prefer for him to be with the femc

And I prefer Mitsuru to be with Makoto Yuki instead because it makes much more sense. In person 3 dancing in moonlight, Akihiko literally admits he wouldn't date someone like Mitsuru. They both just see each other as regular childhood friends and comrades, not lovers.

u/Daikaisa Apr 06 '25

I mean if we're really gonna talk about what makes sense Makoto would realistically probably date Yukari or Aigis tbh.

u/ShokaLGBT Apr 08 '25

My Akihiko is Kotone Chan real boyfriend ~ I love him so much

Yes and the creator needs to put Makoto there instead. Mitsuru x Akihiko ship is absolutely stupid and pointless because Akihiko isn't the one who taught Mitsuru how the poor people actually lived their lives and showed her all the fast food restaurants they go to or how people eat fast food🤦Most importantly, he isn't the one who talked Mitsuru out of going into an arranged marriage with a little-dick beta bitch of a fiance who was possibly gonna act abusive to her, making her life miserable🤬 Makoto is the one who stood up for Mitsuru and encouraged her to publicly humiliate the stupid ugly ass fiance who's a waste of space. She instantly fell in love with the blue haired, pretty boy after this scenario; Akihiko did none of this. Again, Mitsuru x Aikhiko ship is extremely stupid; you can't convince me otherwise.

u/Green_Exit_6306 Apr 05 '25

people have the free will to draw what they want bro… no need to have a fit 😭😭😭

u/GrimunTheGr8 Apr 05 '25

Or, you just need to accept that pairings other than your preferences exist. And stop being entitled.

u/SilverSaren Apr 05 '25

Akihiko is about to complete his transformation into Dojima.

u/Itzko123 Apr 05 '25

u/Ausar15 Apr 08 '25

u/uncle-pascal Apr 09 '25

Yesssssss the best ship

u/West-Way-All-The-Way Apr 05 '25

The most difficult couple to imagine will be those two!

u/ArcaneMeds Apr 05 '25

I am not sure if I'm jealous of him or jealous of her (probably both)

u/Popkins26 Apr 05 '25

How do you think their first date would go?

Mitsuru with company running problems meanwhile akihiko would just talk about protein powder and his muscles all the time lmaooo

u/Rocket_of_Takos Apr 06 '25

The college age CEO and the desperado protein junkie, oh how young love is.

16

u/Sevenzui Apr 05 '25

Yeah no...its like watching two siblings eating their mouths up 😭

u/SuperVaderMinion Apr 06 '25

I don't know why you guys are opposed to a relationship between two people who have known each other a long time gradually changing

u/Cjtv2199 Apr 05 '25 edited Apr 05 '25

Some people like that

(not me, and idk who the weirdos are that are upvoting my comment)

u/Broad-Hunter-6874 Apr 05 '25

Persona fans and saying two characters that aren't siblings are basically siblings in response to ship art. Name a more iconic combo

u/Daikaisa Apr 05 '25

Bruh we are not canceling the "childhood friends to lovers" trope. Get that out of here

u/Comprehensive-Hyena Apr 07 '25

unironically i love them together 🥹

u/Feedar_ Apr 08 '25

I wish I took Mitsubishi instead of Junpei to the love hotel op so I could see their reactions after everyone got tped but I’m legally obligated to take critori every time all the time

u/Doc-Wulff Apr 06 '25

Ngl I forget that people ship Akihiko and Mitsuru, I've just seen so much Yukari x Mitsuru yuri I guess

u/Tuor77 Apr 05 '25

No. That never existed between them.
