She/HerPersona 3 came into my life at just the right time to bullseye its way into my top games of all time, and its themes, characters and story never left me since. But it's when I played Portable on PSP and discovered FeMC's route that my brain chemistry was forever altered; you could romance Akihiko! Since then, Akiham became my favorite FeMC ship.Aki is such an adorkable sweetheart once you scratch beneath his stoic façade, and that softer, vulnerable side is something FeMC brings out of him in spades. They complete each other so well, and watching Akihiko be so earnestly devoted to his girl melts my heart every time.

She/TheyI first got into Akiham really early in the beginning of my Persona 3 introduction with my P3P playthrough because I absolutely loved their interactions in game and also in combination of fanartists such as Noctilin (I replayed my "first" playthrough of P3P like 3 times because I kept messing up the quest markers and Aki kept not confessing, that's how committed I was to the Akiham grind okay haha). I think that they have such a sweet dynamic together, they have so many layers in their relationship especially near the end game, and honestly also reminded me of my partner and I. But yeah I love Akiham :3!!!!!

Any PronounsAkihiko's awkward charm meshes so well with FeMC's cheerful attitude, and the underlying sadness of both of them makes their relationship so compelling.
