My best girl is Hanamaru. When I was first introduced to Aqours, it was through my girlfriend's chorus group. She was taking Yoshiko, and she wanted me to be Hanamaru because my voice fit her the best, and she had a feeling Yohamaru would become a more popular ship at the time. I really didn't know anything about Aqours, since I was ignoring it due to the ending of μ's, so I went with her advice. She was my best girl by default because I didn't really know any other girls. When the anime started, I watched the first episodes on my own and watched the fourth over rabb.it with my girlfriend and our friend. She'd already watched the episode, but still wanted to watch it with us. She kept insisting Hanamaru reminded her of me a lot, and she was right. Hanamaru was terrible with athletics and didn't believe in herself at all. And not the 'I'm terrible at this I'm so sad'. But the sort of lack of belief in which she just automatically accepted the fact that she couldn't do it. Then was her love for Ruby. She had no doubts putting her in front of herself, in order to make Ruby happy and for her dreams to come true. Her biggest dream was for Ruby's dream to come true. My girlfriend and I broke up for about six months, and in that time, I had the same thoughts Hanamaru had: "As long as her dreams come true, then I'm happy". I told myself that constantly. I started drifting away from Hanamaru, due to the pain and memories I felt from her, as I associated her with my girlfriend. After that six months, we got back together after a step of courage and the admittance of being too prideful or thinking the other one had moved on and was happy. My love for Hanamaru started again.

But, that is not who I am submitting as my best girl. For this thread, my best girl is Y̶o̶s̶h̶i̶k̶o̶ Yohane. This is my girlfriend's best girl in Aqours, and has been since day one. I mean, she lives in Japan so she could more easily get one of these without this, but sentimentality and plus she's going moving to California soon. She's told me Yoshiko reminds her of her younger self "execpt cute and not embarassing". In case she ever sees this, I can't exactly say why, but you can probably guess. Despite her passion and stability Yoshiko feels from Yohane, she still forces herself to throw it all away to be accepted by others and to finally 'grow up' and move on. Even when Chika and the others told her she was alright, she still had doubts about herself, but in the end, she returned to her smiling self.

I hope that my passion for both of these girls will reach out to you!
