It's how he gets away with missing so much school, he simply does not need as much time studying as his peers. However living in isolation he has become so caught up in his own delusions that almost all of his potential goes to waste. What he needs is someone to help guide him back from the brink, not by telling him he's crazy, but by being a friend and introducing him back to a world outside his fortified bedroom.

That's my interpretation as well, and the way I've taken things, the person who is doing that (believe it or not) is Hanako.. When Akira and Lilly made the first trip to Scotland, she had a difficult time with her birthday, and took to drinking heavily. I had her drink with Kenji, and he came to the conclusion that Hanako is "a pretty cool dude, for a chick". For plot-related reasons, she and Lilly never become drinking buddies and she continues to drink with Kenji when she's not drinking with Akira or the main characters in my story. Once he does poke his head back into the world, other characters realize his potential and start working with him, but it's Hanako's unintentional intervention that gets him out of the room in the first place.

It is also my headcanon that Hanako has a crush on Akira, and if Hisao isn't there in the right place at the right time, that's who she ends up with.

Akira has a more Western view of mental health management, and doesn't look down on Hanako for managing her anxieties with the help of legitimate pharmaceuticals. She herself maintains an addiction to legal (in Japan) stimulants like ephedra, so she can be a wide-awake drunk. Coffee and energy drinks will do in a pinch. If anyone in this universe would be a 4loko (old school with caffeine) drinker, it would be her.

Every time Emi takes Rin back to her house, Meiko makes sure to do laundry so Rin can hump the washing machine while it vibrates.

Miki likes Vegemite. Suzu does not.

Big one: Hisao's parents adore Iwanako and will continue to ship them whenever possible, to the point of disapproving of whatever girl he does end up with just because she's not Iwanako. This won't stop until they either get together, or one of them marries someone else.

I'd go further than this. Akira actually researched quite a bit of Western ideas and views on things when she was younger just so she could act less Japanese.

Part of this comes from the fact that she was picked on when she was younger for not fitting in, so she decided if she's not going to fit in, she's really going to go for it.

So... Akira is the world's sexiest westaboo?

Mmm... (Actually my headcanon that Meiko ships Emi and Rin.)

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Well, why not?

Our headcanon's gone so deep we have headcanon about the headcanon KS's characters have

WE MUST GO DEEPER

WE MUST GO DEEPER

Hisao's headcanon is that if he writes back to Iwanako and Iwanako actually replies, he'll use up his second chance and die on the spot.
This is the real reason why he can't bring himself to reply, and if he does, he lives in perpetual fear that she'll write a second time.

The power of handwritten symbols is well documented. Emails don't count, and neither do texts by phone.

So you think Hanako writes fan-fiction about people writing fan-fiction about her witting fan-fiction?

Because theres an off-chance this chain of thought could become confusing.

HERE'S THE BIG SECRET:

'After The Dream' was actually written by a committee co-chaired by Hanako Ikezawa and Natsume Ooe; 'brythain' is just the pen-name that Lilly Satou picked from a list of alternatives proposed by Naomi Inoue. Other participants (as you will find) include Akio Mutou and Rika Katayama. Heck, everyone got involved because they got so bored with school life and that interminable ticking clock that seems to hurry them from scene to scene. So they imagined Hisao and his adventures just to have something to entertain themselves while having lunch together on the roof.

Munchenhausen wrote:Her own mother? Really?

...Yeah. Who else?

Kenta. (How did that name become the forums' collective headcanon for the track captain anyway?)

Really, Kenta ships Emi with everyone that isn't him, though, just because he's sick of her trying to get in his pants.

Headcanon: Emi's suggested using a strap-on with Kenta. He was not amused.

Honestly, I'm not too sure that he'd be too against it
But yeah, that would be annoying

If Hisao ever finds himself in one of the rooms in the girls dorm with two drunk girls making out on the bed who invite him to join them, he'll do the sensible things and decline, knowing how they'll regret it in the morning.

Yes, this happened to me in my first year of Uni and I also declined. I was living in the same flat as the girls in question and I knew that it would make the rest of the year awkward. Besides, one of the girls was Irish and had a boyfriend called Paddy. You don’t fuck about with an Irishman called Paddy.
