I confess: I am a huge shipper. Though not exclusive to Beelzebub, I'd say I ship a hell of a lot. I have "near canon" ships, I have crack ships, I have yaoi and yuri ships...I even have a Beelzebub OTP (one true pairing)!
But. But there's only so much pairings talk I can take. Beelzebub isn't really about romance. It's funny, it pokes fun at things we groan about in other manga, and it's well-written. The author loves to throw in romance, but its always for the delicious irony of it all (re: Oga, there should be a limit to how oblivious you can be
). Romance is a perfectly valid topic for discussion, and there's nothing wrong with talking about it the slightest. Its just that, I like to talk about the relationships that exist within Beelzebub in a non-romantic way too.
There are relationships I find pretty darn amusing in Beelzebub, some being:
Hilda and Baby Beel: Hilda's love for Beel has grown so strong she's showing more jealousy towards anyone else who could interfere. First it was Kunieda, and now its Oga! If Toujo ever comes back to school, I'm not entirely sure what she'd do...xD
Kunieda and Hilda's rivalry is so dynamic, I love it. They have a clash of personalities to begin with, and since then it's just become worse and worse. I am already chuckling over what would happen if they had to team-up over something.
Miki and Oga's relationship...it would be nice if Oga could cut him some slack, but considering how Miki's acted before, I don't know anymore.
(I like Miki, I just think his failed attempts at trying to be friendly to Oga really funny.)
On a more serious note, I've always felt that Furuichi acts like Oga's PR. He's always talking to people and gathering information for Oga to use and assess later on. This is kind of apparent during the flashback in chapter 141, where we see Furuichi talking to En's wet nurses about Hilda.
The new arc (ch 143 onwards) seems to be all about expanding Beel's relationships with the Ishiyama Gang, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of funny, ironic, stupid, and moving relationships the manga will bring from now on. What relationships, rivalries, and alliances are interesting to you guys?
