This is purposefully an incomplete list, as Hop is shipped with many of the other characters. Please add any notable relationships in fanworks if they are missing.
In acronym ship names, Hop is represented with "hp." The acronyms were created by the Japanese side of the fandom mostly on Twitter before being adopted elsewhere. Common portmanteaus also originate from Pixiv unless it uses their English names.
