Alternative Ships in Aggretskuo

Hey Nerds!

I’m here with some more Aggretsuko content! In the show we’re heavily invested in Retsuko’s relationships. We see in season 4 she might just give Haida a chance. So I thought it would be cool to think of other potential ships in the series and here are my choices! Also, I’m basing these ships off of personality and behavior and not their animal species. As I’m sure it would be difficult for some of these matches if that was taken into account. And I’m not gonna lie I really enjoyed making their relationship nicknames! Okay let’s get into it!

Tadano/Gori = Tadori


I have a soft spot for Tadano! Although he wasn’t the right one for Retsuko I still really enjoyed seeing him in Season 2. I thought that this connection with him and Gori was so cute and natural! He took an interest in her app when her friends weren’t as interested. And she loved that he knew how to make it work. I think this could be the power couple the show is missing. Now Gori might want to get married but she could be the one to change Tadano’s mind. There are guys out there that change their tune on marriage. And who knows maybe Gori won’t mind not getting married. Either way, I think they would work well together even if it didn’t last forever.

Anai/Tsunoda = Tsunai

Okay okay, first I can feel the side-eye so give me a chance to explain 😂. And this would obviously be in a scenario where Anai didn’t have a girlfriend. I think these two would work. Tsunoda loves attention, but she goes about it the wrong way. I could initially see them hating each other until Tsunoda sees Anai in his obsessive mode. She might think he actually has a backbone and will do what he needs to do to keep his position. He would see her as annoying as she tries to insert herself wherever he is, but then they happen to have an “a-ha” moment. He sees her kindness to others and she sees his need for love and then bam! Instant love connection! And come on you guys Tsunoda would LOVE to have someone like Anai obsess over her. And he would know how to keep her entertained and feeling special. This one is definitely an enemies to lovers ship but it can work!

Inui/Tadano = Inudano


Yes, there’s another Tadano ship, I told y’all I really liked him. So this one would probably be facilitated through Haida. Overnight when Haida and Tadano are hanging out they run into Inui. It’s awkward with Haida but he manages to introduce her to Tadano. Inui not letting the awkwardness deter her from a potential relationship, chats with Tadano. Haida sensing he’s becoming a third wheel tells Tadano he’ll see him later. He also silently thanks him for taking the lead in talking to Inui. Tadano thinking he’s just doing this for Haida keeps talking to Inui, impressed by her way with words. Soon they exchange numbers and the rest is history. Tadano would have a conversation with Haida to make sure he’s cool with it before continuing to pursue Inui. And Inui won’t make the same mistake twice. She makes her intentions known as does Tadano. I don’t think Inui would have a problem not getting married and she seems independent enough for when Tadano has to leave on business trips. I think they would work because they would discuss what they want upfront. Inui tried doing this with Haida, but he didn’t know what he wanted. Tadano is very sure of his wants and desires so this was a welcome change for Inui. I also think they would do well making each other better.

Fenneko/Ookami = Fennekami

So I had to think of who Fenneko could be with, and this was kind of hard. Especially since she’s not really seen with too many guys throughout the series. And while many of you might not even remember this guy Ookami he’s the other fox which is in appearance only because he’s actually a maned wolf. And no I didn’t pick him because he looked like a fox. Whenever I saw Ookami he’s always come across as laid back. He wasn’t high strung but he also wasn’t a dud like Resasuke. He does seem to have a personal spending problem but I don’t think that would be enough to drive Fenneko away. I think Fenneko would like a laid-back guy like Ookami. And she would enjoy helping him plan the after-work drinking parties. I also think Ookami would like to see Fenneko’s friendship with Haida, although he could get a tiny bit jealous at the start of their relationship. This is probably one of the most normal matches that I thought could work. They work in the same department and have mutual friends, it’s just a matter of time before sparks fly.

Komiya/Manaka = Kominaka

Haha 😂 okay, so this ship. I really like this one if only because Komiya is a closeted Idol girl fanatic. I think this would be the dream relationship for him especially if OTMGirls really blow up. I could see Komiya accompanying her at her gigs and supporting her in the crowd. She would also come to him when the group needs help marketing. He may even handle their marketing needs part-time. And he would of course give authentic reviews of the music and shows which would tick Manaka off if he was too honest. Overall I think these two could work. Komiya would have to tone down the fanboying long enough for Manaka to see him as an option. It would take a bit for Manaka to come around, but once she sees and feels his dedication, she’ll be head over heels. I think it would be nice to see Komiya in a different kind of setting than the normal one of him kissing up to Director Ton.

Hyoudou/Washimi = Washimi wouldn’t be here for nicknames lol

This is the most serious out of everyone. But this ship would absolutely sail, know why? Because neither of them takes no ish from nobody! Washimi has worked her way up and takes her position seriously in the company. She’s the one that keeps the CEO in check with his frivolous spending. And you know what she needs? She needs a hard-working man who can hang with her. And who else works harder than Hyoudou? Nobody y’all absolutely no one works harder than Hyoudou. He’s managing an underground idol group and doing manual labor to help pay for the costs? He’s definitely a man’s man and he’d be able to handle Washimi. I think Washimi would appreciate how hard-working and dedicated he is even though she might not be into the idol scene. I think their first dates would definitely be awkward as neither of them is used to dating, but then Hyoudou would say something kind but gruffly. Washimi knowing she can come across the same way would know his intent. Hyoudou also seems secure enough in himself, that he wouldn’t feel threatened by Washimi’s independence or her ambition. I think this pairing is solid but it works definitely be a very slow burn with lots of encouragement from Gori, Retsuko, and the OTMGirls.

Those are all my ships from Aggretsuko! What’s your ship? Do you disagree with any of mine? Let me know in the comments below and keep nerding out!
