The problem is its out of place and put in random.. captain tsubasa had better romance plot than this and the sad part is their scene isnt even that much... while in this the romance is basically shoved into the reader eyes in the most unnatural way to the point it makes you skip the chapter
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.
