hanamaru's birthday is here!! seeing all the love for her really warms my heart <3

hanamaru is incredibly important to me! she didn't actually become my #1 best girl until around the 4th center elections – seeing everyone come together for her made me realise how much she really means to me, too.

maru is such an amazing, inspiring character. she's probably not the type you'd typically expect to be an idol, she doesn't think very highly of herself either, but she works so hard, and she manages to shine the brightest out of all of Aqours 🌟

im not very good at conveying my feelings through text; there's a thousand things i want to tell maru, but i can't even begin to put it into words. just... she genuinely means the entire world to me. her character has done so much for me!! im proud of how far her and kinchan have come.

to use her own quote against her (lol), Like meeting wonderful books is fate, meeting Hanamaru was a great piece of fate too. 💛

happy birthday, zuramaru!! 💮
