Hitosuke

Hitosuke is the het ship between Hitomi Tadano and Shousuke Komi from the Komi Can't Communicate fandom.

Canon
Though the two have yet to interact in the anime they have already met in the manga. They met in chapter 133 when Hitomi attempts to greet him. He ignores her to which she forcefully puts her in a position where he can't ignore her. He continues to ignore her. She starts asking him a series of questions ranging from "What's your favourite food?" to "Where do you live?". He still ignores her so Hitomi assumes he has a communication disorder and Shousuke plays along.

During the class introduction Hitomi introduces herself with ease and Shousuke chooses to stay silent. It is then revealed that Hitomi is a talented ventriloquist and speaks for Shousuke. Throughout the same school day many people attempt to go up to Shousuke and speak with him and he ignores them all, Hitomi talks to each one of them saying that Shousuke has a sick stomach though he doesn't. Afterwards Shousuke gives her a look which supposedly scared people away but Hitomi was unphased. Hitomi asks him once again what his favourite food was while leaning slightly closer to him. She then asks many more questions similar to the beginning of the chapter. Shousuke ignores her once again and turns around to walk away. Right as Shousuke is about to leave he states that his favourite food is mackerel. It seems like the chapter gets a sweet end, but right afterwards Hitomi states how mackerel is just a ingredient and goes on and on criticizing his choice in food.

There are 2 bonus panels. In one it shows Shousuke looking more tired than normal due to Hitomi and in the other Hitomi giggling at the memory with text saying she thinks back to it often.

Chapter 144 Hitomi and Shousuke's family coincidently go camping at the same park and greet each other. Hitomi mentions how she's good friends with Shousuke and that they sit beside each other in class. Hitomi's mother gets on her hands and knees and states how her daughter couldn't be happier and is glad she knows such a cute boy and is glad she's in his care but Hitomi tells her that its more of her taking care of Shousuke. Shousuke tries to escape but he is dragged back by Hitomi. Najimi, Shouko, Hitohito, Shousuke and Hitomi attempt a climbing course, when it comes to Shousuke's turn he stands still for a little hoping to skip it but does it anyway and Hitomi cheers him on. When he arrives at the other side Shouko gives her younger brother a knowing look assuming that they have some romantic relationship going on. Shousuke attempts to escape again through the 'Give Up Exit' but Hitomi once again drags him back.

While camping in the cabin Hitomi suspects that their parents are still drinkning outside and asks to check outside and demands Shousuke to come with her mentioning she's a girl and it'll be dangerous for her to go alone at night. Shousuke obligeds and leaves the cabin with her as they hold hands. Shouko looks at the pair once again assuming they have a romantic relationship. When Shouko and Hitohito get caught in rain while attempting to stargaze they stay in a small shelter having a nice moment inturrupted by Hitomi and Shousuke, mainly by Hitomi and it's assumed that Shousuke was once again dragged along in whatever Hitomi wanted to do.

Chapter 244 titled 'Little Brother's Cultural Festival' Shousuke wakes up to Hitomi spamming him on a texting app she somehow downloaded. He deleted the app and tried to go back to sleep but Hitomi burst through the door in his room and forced him to go to the school cultural festival. She proceeds to show him his entire day planned by people in his class. He is dragged by Hitomi to school and many students watch. Throughout the day on multiple occasions Shousuke tries to leave but is always dragged back to socially interact with classmates.

In Chapter Chapter 344 titled 'Class Change', the opening page is Hitomi taking a photo of Shousuke with him doing the iconic 'sore neck pose' as she blushes furiously. When Shouske is on his way to school he is tackled by a hug from Hitomi and background characters complement the interaction calling it nice. Ai is furious and plans to ruin their relationship since Hitomi is far closer and touchier to Shousuke than she is. Ai suspects that the two have some sort of relationship other than just friends but Hitomi explains that by their siblings dating she wants to get closer to Shousuke. Ai doesn't really believe her but lets it slide. Hitomi attempts to hug Shousuke but he blocked her. She successfully hugs him in the next panel and in the one after that she's lying down with her head on his lap. Ai convinces herself once again that she must remove Hitomi from the picture. When Shousuke comes home he staggers and drags himself up the stairs, all his energy was drained by Hitomi.

Fanon
The ship is known and has fanfictions, but it has a relatively small amount of works on AO3 and it rivals with ShosuAi. Hitosuke is normally shipped alongside TadaKomi, the ship between their siblings. Also some people just see them as a sibling relationship since both haven’t got any particular romantical moments and Hitomi stated that Shousuke is like his older brother.
