Who Does Ashito Aoi End Up With in Ao Ashi?

Ao Ashi may be a sports anime, but that did not stop the show from giving the viewers a bit of romance. From one sports anime fan to another, we can’t help but ship Ashito to some of the other female characters in the anime. So, who does Ashito Aoi end up with in Ao Ashi?

Unlike other sports anime that don't place much emphasis on romance, Ao Ashi is unique in that its main character has two potential love interests. There's Hana Ichijo, who always makes meal plans for the team, and Anri Kaido, who talks about everything soccer-related.

So, do you support Hana or Anri? Place your bets!

Yes, Hana Ichijo likes Ashito in Ao Ashi.

After careful consideration of his developing career, she is unable to confess her feelings to Ashito. She only tells Noriko, Ashito's mother, about her feelings for her son.

Hana Ichijo met Ashito for the first time at the youth tryouts. Hana initially has reservations about Ashito's abilities. Ever since her brother-in-law, Fukuda, mentioned the "Kid from Ehime," Hana had high hopes for Ashito's soccer potential.

The good news is that she was not mistaken in placing her trust in Ashito. She became a fan of Ashito the moment she saw his assist, regardless of how Ashito explained that it was only based on instinct.

Hana grew romantically attached to Ashito over time. After all, they are always together, bantering and supporting one another. The question now is whether Ashito feels the same way.

Yes, Anri likes Ashito in Ao Ashi. She even bravely confessed her feelings for Ashito in Chapter 225 of the Ao Ashi manga.

Anri's interest has been piqued due to Ashito's soccer potential. Because Anri aspires to be a coach, Ashito believes that her affection for him stems solely from her admiration for him as a player.

On the other hand, Anri has her sights set on Ashito, even if it is only for soccer. She gets excited whenever Ashito does something cool during a match. Anri gets worked up for Ashito as he improves his skills and abilities, even if she doesn't show it.

The good news is that if they end up together, Anri and Ashito will bond over football analysis and almost everything else. Does Ashito, on the other hand, feel the same way?

In Ao Ashi, Ashito is expected to end up with Hana Ichijo.

Unfortunately, if you're hoping to see them together in the anime, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. The good news is that Ashito is aware of his true feelings for Hana, even if he isn't completely aware of them yet.

When Hana creates a meal plan for Kuribayashi, Ashito is bothered. We know Ashito has feelings for Hana at that precise moment. However, even if Ashito does commit to Hana at the moment, he can only give so much in the relationship because of his initial priorities.

For the time being, Ashito is so focused on his athletic career and making a name for himself that falling in love with the opposite sex is a hassle for the time being. After all, he vowed to change his family's lifestyle by playing his heart out on the field.

In any case, Hana is a wonderful person who understands Ashito. Everything becomes easier for Ashito with her. Aside from motivating Ashito, Hana also cares for him by making healthy meal plans and communicating with him on a much deeper level than the others.
