SK8 the Infinity/Ships

= Hiromi x Manager x Oka =  Hiromi x Manager x Oka is the poly ship between Hiromi Higa, Shokichi Oka and Florist Shop Manager from the SK8 the Infinity fandom.

Hiromi & Oka
From the beginning, Oka and Shadow don't interact, but he might had a bad impression on Hiromi, since he was the one who had broke Reki's skateboard, and leave him some injuries which ones worried Oka. However, at the end credits of the 12th episode of the anime, Hiromi is seen in his normal look giving Oka flowers inside a pot, which Oka seemed on hesitating about the gift. Moments later he's seen with the flowers that Hiromi had offered to him before.

Florist Shop Manager & Hiromi
Since the Florist Shop Manager's introduction, Hiromi is seen having romantic feelings towards his boss (the manager), but the Manager isn't aware of them. Hiromi works at the same place as her, probably for long time, in a Flower Shop. Hiromi is seen in his normal look while working as he hides the fact that he's a skater to the Manager. Hiromi used to do his best for the manager, and everytime she praised him, he would look really excited at it. In the credits scene, Hiromi is decided on confessing his feelings to the Manager and probably date her, but a moment later he saw that the Manager already had someone else whom she was dating/married to. After contemplating the scene, Hiromi is seen in shock and in the next scene he's seen crying while skating as Shadow.

Florist Shop Manager & Shokichi Oka
Both never met, but the two had a good bond with Hiromi (atleast only with the Florist Shop Manager), and both were managers of their own works (with Oka working at Dope Sketch, which is a skateboard shop, and the Manager working at a Flower Shop along with Hiromi).

Fanon
Not a popular ship, or atleast not really known in the fandom. However, there are some fans that can't pick between shipping Hiromi with Oka or with the Florist Shop Manager (which name is still unknown nowadays), making this ship a reality. Although it's a rarepair, it's loved by those who like seeing Hiromi in a relationship with both managers, and joking about that Higa's type of person are always managers.

Though, there can be fans who would prefer shipping Hiromi with Oka rather than with the Florist Shop Manager, since his feelings weren't requited, which disappointed a lot of fans but weren't too surprised about it, saying that Hiromi deserved better. With the Florist Shop Manager being still unknown, it could be common confusing the ship name with Hiromi and Manager Oka.

It doesn't have any fan art created at the moment, but it does currently have a couple fics added on AO3.

Behind the Scenes
Hiroko Utsumi, the director of SK8 the Infinity, confirmed that Joe and Cherry were attracted to Adam in high school. She mentions that the show makes it seem like Cherry was the only one attracted to Adam, but Joe was actually attracted to Adam too.

Fanon
MatchaLove isn't a very popular pairing within its fandom due to ships like MatchaBlossom, TadaAi and even Love Blossom being more popular. Adam's unpopular rate in the fandom also contributes to MatchaLove's unpopularity. Despite Joe's former feelings being confirmed, some choose to ignore Joe's feelings and pretend that he was pining over Cherry, who also had confirmed former feelings for Adam.
