All Roads Lead to Hibiki + Ren
by Bunnypwn Gold
One thing I have learned about myself over the past couple years is that I enjoy romance stories. One thing that you notice, reading a few, are the different strategies that authors take to convince the audience of or use the romances in question. Some stories begin with the premise of a couple’s romantic interest and then base everything on the drama, with no explanation for the romantic interest. Some stories focus on one of the most time honored pillars of modern romantic myth, that of the lead proving their worth to their beloved and winning their heart. Some stories go with the opposite attracts theory and treat two people who should hate each other as puzzle pieces that match perfectly. I’ve found the most compelling romances try to tell a more balanced story, starting with some common ground and then demonstrating why the potential couple is compatible due to complimentary, not oppositional, qualities. One of the most compelling couples I have found is in the pages of Anne Happy, and it is the pairing of Hibiki and Ren, who actually share in qualities of all four romances I described.
For those who don’t know, Anne Happy: Unhappy Go Lucky is a manga series about high school girls attending Tennomifune Academy. This school is well-renowned in its ability to draw out the fullest potential of all their students. There are three classes for the academic track, three for the athletics track, and one for our main characters, the happiness class. All the students in the happiness class have some form of bad luck, to cartoonish extents, and the goal of the happiness class program is to reverse this misfortune and allow these students to accomplish amazing things in life. To give you an idea of what these students are like, the titular character, who goes by Hanako, seems to warp reality around her to cause accidents for herself, while her friend Botan is so sickly that shaking her hand will fracture her bones.
The people I am here to talk about, Hibiki and Ren, have their own challenges. Hibiki is incredibly proud and ambitious, not settling for anything less than #1; she once tried to lose a game so she could be first worst, because second worst is mediocre. She is always running off half-cocked and full-tilt to prove she’s the best at everything she does. If she makes a mistake, she insists it was on purpose. If she is caught doing something embarrassing, you should feel grateful she took an interest. Ren is quite the opposite. She is incredibly lazy and sleepy and does the bare minimum so she can get the day over with. If she isn’t asleep, she’s figured out the least amount of work needed to call it quits. If she sees Hibiki doing something stupid, she tells her off and then gets dragged along because she isn’t strong enough to fight it. Hibiki is all energy and pretense, and Ren is all sloth and practicality. They have the opposites attract bit down tight.
To be more specific about their relationship, they are best friends, and Hibiki is in love with Ren but hasn’t told her, or anyone, yet. While Hibiki is always trying to show everyone else that she’s the best, at least half her motivation is showing Ren she’s the best. She is constantly trying to improve on her faults to show Ren how far she’s come. She goes out of her way to try to do Ren favors, even though she is frequently incapable of this. Ren will try to talk Hibiki down from doing ridiculous things, but Hibiki usually insists she must, because it means something to her to have accomplished it for Ren. Thus, Hibiki has fully dedicated herself to proving her worth to her beloved.
The two have known each other since they were in pre-school, when Ren’s family moved in next to Hibiki’s. They became friends, and then attended elementary and middle school together. As a result, their romantic tension is prepackaged and used to create drama around them from the beginning. In their earliest major appearance, Hibiki becomes flustered and more excitable from Ren grabbing her hand to lead her along, which is an incredibly familiar situation for her by this point in her life, and is defeated by a challenge where Hibiki is asked to yell the name of her crush.
The fourth layer is completed through a careful demonstration of the source of their quirks. Hibiki’s bad luck is that she has no sense of direction whatsoever. She can look right at someone she needs to talk to and run in the opposite direction. Clearly, she has a lot riding on being first. Her tendency to lie about her shortcomings is to cover up for the parts of herself she thinks are weird, the things she fears she’ll be rejected for. Hibiki is a very skilled artist, for instance, but she always destroys or hides her work because it looks so unusual and creepy. She has a hard time making friends, so she instead chooses people as her “rivals” and becomes invested in their lives that way. And, of course, she hides her feelings for Ren because they’re so “strange” and she’s afraid of homophobic backlash from the world at large. Ren, meanwhile, is a literal chick magnet. Female-bodied people and animals of all stripes go crazy for her and fawn over her constantly, whether she wants them to or not. She doesn’t seem to mind that girls are falling over her, but it’s a lot to deal with, having no peace when she’s in public. That’s why she sleeps all the time, because she can’t be mobbed in her own home; that, and I assume it’s tiring dealing with them. Her blunt, honest, straightforward nature is a result of her trying to carve the easiest path between wherever she is and some place she can be alone.
It’s easy, then, to write off Hibiki’s crush as a result of spending so much time around Ren and her condition, but that would be a mistake. Other girls simply give Ren gifts, treat her overly-nice, and attempt to wrap themselves over her. Hibiki actually takes an interest in Ren’s life and wants to spend time with her as a person. There’s good reason for her level of emotional attachment, too. From the time they met, Ren was an object of Hibiki’s admiration due to the ease with which Ren talked with the other girls in class, something Hibiki was too nervous to do. In kindergarten, Ren was the first person to tell Hibiki that her black magic torture doll art was good and that she should be proud of it. When Hibiki got her hair caught in a gate, Ren cut her own hair short so Hibiki wouldn’t have to be the “weird girl” with short hair. Though Hibiki was likely attracted to her because of her condition for at least a moment, Ren has always been that selfless, caring, affirming person for Hibiki, which inspired Hibiki to do the most important thing she could to make Ren’s life better: be a real friend to her, unlike the other girls whose words mean nothing.
It goes even further, too. Hibiki is too afraid of being rejected to confess her feelings to Ren, but Ren actually proves that she doesn’t have to be afraid. Due to Ren’s condition, large swarms of presumably straight-identifying girls, ladies, and women drool over Ren. Even from afar, these same people hold Ren up as an object of beauty and desire. No one seems to question why this is or what it means for them, as if a girl liking another girl isn’t a big deal; keep in mind that most people have no idea about Ren, they just react to her. And Ren herself, as stated before, doesn’t seem to have particular feelings about it being girls who constantly go after her. Hibiki really has nothing to fear in terms of coming out as being in real-love with Ren, because the world she lives in and Ren herself are totally ok with that. If Ren were to turn Hibiki down, she would know how to give a perfect, “Don’t blame yourself, it’ll be ok,” speech. If she returns Hibiki’s feelings, there’s always the possibility that she wouldn’t just say yes, but that she always assumed they were dating after being together for so long.
No matter how much Hibiki wants to tell Ren how she feels, she never knows how to get where she wants to go (literally and metaphorically). Ren always leads Hibiki, the only girl she wants to spend time with, the only girl who makes her try to do anything, to her destination. Truly, theirs is a fairytale romance, one that captures all the most common and compelling dimensions of romantic storytelling at once.
