I like to take my time.😘

Everyone is pushing for Hamayu and Wakamiya agenda, but in truth…

… Hamayu is infatuated with Masuho no Susuki that she’d “marry her in a heartbeat if she were a man.”

She’s only joking/taking a piss you’d say. Perhaps…

But does she really?

Chapter 37

No wonder Hamayu keeps on teasing her ever since they’ve known each other at the Sakura Blossom Palace. That kind of love and hate relationship. From enemies to friends… And somehow, Masuho begins to like her due to her selflessness. Both of them pushing each other to be Wakamiya’s consort. Exalting the other. You know, “Don’t take me, take her! She’s worth it!” “No, not me, take her instead! I am nothing compared to her!” kind of thing.

The thing about Hamayu is that she exudes a masculine energy. In the anime, maybe it is the strength of the voice actor Hiroki Nanami, she can make Asebi red on the face.

Whereas in Chisato Abe’s character correlation chart from the fan book, Hamayu finds Masuho “cute, pretty, adorable (かわいい! かわいい!)”

Masuho, on the other hand, “I hate to admit it, but she’s a good woman. ‘Please be happy, or I won't forgive you!’”

Straight from my shipping heart:

In a way, I don’t think Wakamiya would have an issue with it as he pointed out, “But I will not allow you to complain or to become intimate with any other man.”

Besides, he keeps on leaving Hamayu to search for an adventure, err, to make sure that the inhabitants of Yamauchi are safe, with Yukiya.

I am not sure how far will Masuho practise her becoming a nun in the novel. Nor I don’t know (yet) how far will she be and her amorous adventures in the book series. (There were talks of an unrequited love…) But for the sake of asking a hypothetical question, in Japanese Buddhism, celibacy is a personal choice.

When the Japanese Buddhist Saint Hônen (1133-1212) was asked whether a Buddhist religious person should be celibate or not, he said: «If it is easier for him or her to express faith by reciting the Buddha’s name alone, he or she should be celibate. If it is easier to do that with a spouse, it is better to marry. What is important is only how one expresses one’s faith in reciting the Buddha’s name.»

So, yes, I am not joking. I ship them!

Natsuki-sensei said the endcards will be released as merchandise!! Though I doubt they will reach the West (source).
