Miya⠀﹠⠀Manjiro


First Meeting

In JHS, both Mikey & Miya were on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of "popularity." Mikey despite having the reputation of a deliquent, rarely ever putting effort into her classes, had charisma and personality that made people drawn to her regardless. Although Miya who genuinely believes shi puts hir everything into hir grades and making friends, never seemed to attract people her way and keep friends without them leaving for no apparent reason.

Feeling envious of what Mikey has, the power to have people so drawn to her despite rarely ever trying in school and being a troublemaker, in a fit of obsessive hate Miya without even realizing it continuously watches and follows Mikey to figure out what sort of charm just one person could have. One fateful day after school, a few weeks before toman forms, Mikey catches Miya following him. The next day and school, in class, in the period Miya shared with Mikey and has to sit a few desks away from her, Mikey writes on a gum wrapper "I saw you yesterday :)" and holds it up to Miya. After that, it seems like Mikey had gotten attracted to Miya's "strange presence" and doesnt stop bothering Miya which makes hir pissed off even more.


"Mikey and Mico."
(from this point on i'll just use he / him for mikey. i'll try to include less hcs when writing lore blah blah)

The day toman was officially founded, Mikey had planned to tell Miya immediately after. Meeting at a deserted hill, Miya wasn't impressed to find out Mikey had graduated from a petty deliquent to a petty gang leader, making an offside comment Mikey chose to ignore. Through Mikey's boasting about why Toman was created, is when Miya truly realized why people had liked Mikey so much. Why even when he's acting like a spoild little brat, people stick with him. Instead of seeing Mikey, she saw Manjiro, the Manjiro who would go to the end of the Earth for his friends, who would gladly take their pain from their shoulders and carry it for them with a smile. That was who Manjiro really was.

"And, you're my friend too, Miichii, okay?"
"No we're not..?"
"Yes we are."


As i try to write out everytbing else in the style above: heres a quick (i think) rundown on MaiMiya:

As a result of Miya being insecure of hir identity as a person, Mikey helps hir create 'Princess Mico', Miya's alter ego whose everything shi wants to be. Despite it being a coping mechanism it actually makes things worse ok i'll get into that l8er. from this point foward this is where you start to see Miya get dependent on Mikey Kay

After Shinichiro dies is when Mikey is obvi at his worst right So Moya decides "Since Mikey helped me I should help him back" and basically. never left mikey's side as a way to say "i'll always be here" unfort since shinichiro's death mikey's impulses were at an all time high (person that mostly triggers them is miyan) (hence miya commenting that mikey has been creeping hir out lately) so. mikey would always feel terribly guilty just being near miya despite never being able to pull away from hir

So AFTER takemitchy enters the scene moya is jealous of the fact mikey has been around takemitchy a lot more lately ; Things go kinda 👎🏾 when (middle of mobius arc) miya asks mikey "why arent we as close as we were before" and mikey responds. "it just feels like i can breathe now around takemitchy" (as in his dark impulses arent constantly looming around him as much anymore) miya takes it as "oh so he just doesnt like me anymore" then distances hirself from mikey, rather sticking around baji and chifuyu now Ok!! this lasted until baji was an offical wahalla member
