HashiMaki

HashiMaki is the het ship between Hashida Haruka and Kuwana Maki from the Blue Period fandom.

Canon
Haruka and Kuwana are former cram school members and also seem to be on friendly terms.

After Hashida announces that in the summer there would be a contest that would give them a ranking, Yotasuke asks if he wasn't worried about the high-level graduates, to which Hashida shocks his friends when he says that the top scoring applicant in oil painting was a student, which he later introduced as Maki's sister and apparently their whole family had attented to Geidai priorly. Yotasuke follows Hashida's lines about Maki being an elite, but at the same time wonders where Haruka got all of that info from.

During the summer classes, after all the students presented their artworks, Yatora is surprised that Maki had gotten first place, but the latter wasn't happy at all due that, according to her, the one who has gotten first place at the academy wouldn't pass the exam. Hashida agrees at Maki's comment after Yatora told him about her situation, although he was surprised that Yaguchi didn't know about it, since it was famous. When Yatora asks a reason about it, Hashida answers him in an interrogative way while saying that it wasn't like he would ever get first place even if he wanted.

On November, Ooba announces to her class that they were going to rearrange classes, as it was time to ramp up for the exams. Maki and Haruka were placed in the same class, as they were called consecutively. When Hashida takes out Yatora from his thoughts, he asks him if he wasn't glad of being the same class, and before Yaguchi agreed, he gets interrupted as Haruka said that he wasn't talking about himself, but Maki (while pointing at her). Hashida comically blushes as he called her cute and that just watching her would help him distress and work harder.

After the assignment, everyone greets to each other before starting a new painting topic. Maki and Hashida are also included in back-to-back panels.

While searching for the meaning of "bonds", Yatora asks for an opinion about the meaning itself, and between the people, it included Maki and Hashida, which were consecutively asked by him.

The next painting theme assigned was of "drawing something about eating", and after everyone finished, their works were put on shelves so everyone could compare their paintings with other classes. Haruka and Yaguchi take a look of the artworks, and between them, they see Maki's being first place once again, both are a bit shocked but expected for it to happen.

When checking her students profiles, Ooba consecutively checks Kuwana and Hashida's, with Maki describing being all set when it comes from her skills, having a great consistency too, and Hashida described as being the classical type, focusing on knowledge and theory.

Between the students who passed the first exam to Geidai, Maki, Haruka, and Yaguchi were the only ones. Haruka is pleased to pass the first exam as he starts to act strangely, to which Maki notes how he can be really creepy sometimes.

Three days before the second exam, after Ooba's class was dismissed, the three are seen walking back to their respective homes. However, Yaguchi starts feeling bad, and excuses that something got into his eye. He then parts away from Maki and Haruka, leaving them together as they went on their own paths too.

After the second exam, Maki and Haruka are the first ones who arrive at Ooba from their respective exam places feeling tired due to a hard work placed on it. Ooba congratulates both and asks them to draw how their paintings looked like on a paper, which was a nude painting. Haruka and Maki then explain their own progresses and what they tried to add, with Kuwana trying to implement the model's movements into the art, and Hashida trying to fit in with the theme as he also tried to base with historically known nude poses while Ooba happily listens and gives them advices while telling them on having fun with it.

During the brief recess gaven to the applicants on the second day of the second exam, Hashida founds Maki sitting on the stairs while eating a big lunch, which a moment later asks about this one being too big and Maki, in response, salutes him and Hashida greets back saying that he hadn't noticed that both were on the same floor. Maki asks about Yaguchi, Hashida responds that he didn't talk to him, to which Maki answers unamusely that she didn't want to talk to anyone during the exam. She also points that he's too relaxed as she begins relating about the second exam and how Yatora has lost the first day of the second exam. However at first she said her passing didn't have to do with whether Yatora failed or not, but she also understood the pain of making art, and she would never wish for anyone to fail.

Heading outside after Geidai's second exam was over, Yaguchi along with Yotasuke unexpectedly meet with Haruka and Maki, which were seemingly waiting together for them. Hashida indirectly proposes to everyone eating in a ramen store, however he gets rejected as Maki and Yotasuke walked away as they said they didn't want to talk with anyone at the moment.

It's mentioned later that Haruka and Maki had failed Geidai's application exam. Maki decided to dedicate herself to sculpting while Hashida mentioned that he went to another art university (Tama Art University specifically), announcing that they wouldn't meet again for a time.

Moments

 * In one of the Blue Period's artworks, Haruka says that his hair is pretty long if he unties it, and in the background Maki and Yaguchi give their opinion about it, with Maki unamusely telling him to get a haircut.
 * In chapter 14, while Yaguchi tests the fact that they could change the way they feel by controlling their expression (by smiling at his empty canva), Maki and Hashida's reactions can be seen; while Kuwana flinches, Hashida isn't seen affected at all.

Fanon
While the origins of the ship are basically unknown, it is not considered very popular due to both being shipped with other characters and those ships being more popular than HashiMaki, like HaruYaku for Hashida and MomoMaki for Kuwana, and there doesn't seem to be fan arts dedicated to them, however canon artworks tend to oftenly draw them together. However, even if it's not popular, it is thought that it's shipped due of both being side characters and aren't really seen to be shipped with anyone else than with each other, and HashiMaki tends to be shipped along with YatoYota (fandom's most popular ship).

On AO3, there are only two works of the ship as platonic/gen.

Trivia

 * Chapter's 13 cover illustrated Hashida painting it, however the chapter itself focused on Kuwana's past and life.
