Idk, ive seen worse? And once again, its freshman kids. Lol, its clunky and awkward and feels so damn dramatic for no reason, and that just reminds me of highschool.
though i havent read Captain Tsubasa, I usually read Adachis works, and this feels very similar to some of them. Not as elegant, because adachi usually has a more mature idealistic tone (despite the pervy comedy). Ill try tsubasa and maybe ill change my mind.
Like i know people get frustrated with it. But I actually like the way Hana and Aoi are. Its very simple and seems more dramatic than it is, and isnt that how romance is at that age?
And I think the whole point, is that ANYONE could have been his first fan. Thats the point. Its an immature simple infatuation. And I feel like thats why its also not being pursued. Its not bad to find comfort, but both of them also are pursuing their own goals.
I enjoy seeing Aoi act his age. Having conversations with Hana bring him back down to where normal people are, and its a nice break from intensity.
Though, Slam Dunk is one of my all time favorites, so maybe i just like my sports manga with at least a lil romance. The cheesier the better.
