Hamanda

Hamanda is the femslash ship between Amanda O'Neill and Hannah England from the Little Witch Academia fandom.

Canon
It's unclear how Hannah and Amanda's relationship actually looked like since they never had meaningful on-screen interactions with one another up to this point. Although, it can be inferred that they don't have high opinions about each other. Hannah doesn't like Amanda for her rebellious personality and being Luna Nova's resident troublemaker. Amanda in turn, doesn't like Hannah for being a snob. In fact, she dismissed Hannah as nothing more than Diana's lackey as much as Barbara. Such statement later proven half-right because both Hannah and Barbara eventually grew to care to their roommate as a friend at one point, not realizing it until the Cavendish's brief drop out from Luna Nova.

Even so, as shown in the epilogue part of the series' Episode 25, Amanda and Hannah are shown hanging out alongside their friends during what would be Akko's flight party. Lack of interaction aside, the two nonetheless tolerated each other's presence. They also joined the rest of the group celebrating Akko's success of finally floating with her broom at long last. All of these indicated whatever opinions they had toward one another improved somewhat.

In 28th Sub Event of Chamber of Time game, "Hannah's Sweetheart", Hannah is revealed to develop a crush on a boy she saw at Blytonbury and missed the sight of him ever since. Little did she knew the young man in question being in fact, Amanda who disguised herself by using Metamorphosis Magic to transmogrify her clothes for unspecified antics. Akko discovered this when she accidentally dropped one of pictures of crossdressing Amanda in her possession which catches Hannah's attention. Catching the brunette off-guard, she insisted Akko to tell her the identity of the 'boy' in said picture, even after the latter warned her that she won't like the answer. As expected, Hannah is left horror-struck upon learning the truth, and proceeds to state to Akko that she will dispose the picture and threatens her not to tell anyone about it.

It's ambiguous whether Hannah remains true to her word regarding disposing the picture given to the dubious tone of her aforementioned statement to Akko. This doesn't help by the likelihood of her losing the memory pertaining the truth about her crush later on because the Sub Event takes place during one of time loops Akko and co. struggled to escape from throughout the game. Assuming Hannah indeed keeps the picture of disguised Amanda she received from Akko and still is until the conclusion of Horologium Chamber incident which triggered said time loop in the first place, she would have a clue to rediscover her crush's identity in her person. Another matter worth considering is whether Amanda aware about the presence of Hannah and other girls (if any) who fell heads over heels in love with her boy disguise at the time and importantly, her possible reaction about it.

Had the series ran for a whole year as Yō Yoshinari intended and/or Keisuke Satō's manga adaptation of the series didn't stop until third volume, we would likely have more insight about Hannah and Amanda's dynamic in canon works.

Fanon
Hamanda is one of notable rare pairs in Little Witch Academia fandom. The origin of this particular ship is of course, the aforementioned Sub Event of Chamber of Time game.

In addition of ones portrayed them as established couple, many fanworks revolving this ship centered about how Hannah and Amanda working around their differences and developing romantic feelings toward each other along the way. Others pick from where 28th Sub Event of Chamber of Time game, "Hannah's Sweetheart", left off with Hannah confirming Amanda and the boy she had crush on being the same person and subsequently struggling with both the truth and her feelings for the latter. In either cases, Amanda would reciprocate Hannah's feelings for her, usually after finally knowing Hannah in personal level.

Much like Diakko (and notable character ships in Little Witch Academia series in general), this ship comes with interpretations revolving sexuality of characters involved among shippers. Hannah is theorized as being bisexual as hinted from her fawning over Andrew and Amanda's male form/disguise as well as her and Barbara's recurring intimate moments such as holding hands whenever the two terrified or panicked and taking bath together at one point. Amanda on the other hand, widely theorized as being butch lesbian considering how she easily passes as a boy while crossdressing as shown while sneaking into Appleton Academy alongside Akko and has tomboyish personality and appearance to the boot, though for same reasons she is interpreted as a transgender or non-binary.

To the date, the ship has around 180+ fanfics on AO3 and 17 fanfics on FanFiction.net.
