I can't find the page, but when Akihito leaves Asami a bag with bread & juice hanging on his door. Shows how caring Akihito is. The other is when he is lounging in the jail cell like he's been there a thousand times before. He's just so cute like that.
i also love what happens after that. *smirk
Favorite aspect of Aki's character: His enormous, loving, open, forgiving heart. That he cares not just about his friends and family but about people who have hurt him in the worst possible ways is a beautiful thing.
There are many little examples throughout the series, like the bread-and-juice moment mentioned above. I think that extra fits in before the events in volume three, so before Akihito had developed real feelings for Asami and was still aiming to take him down. And yet, he still cared enough to worry that Asami hadn't eaten.
Another is when he has escaped from Fei Long's men in Hong Kong but Tao finds him and is going on about how wonderful Fei Long is and Aki starts to tell him some hard truths about the man he idolizes and then stops because he just can't hurt this little boy--who hasn't even been particularly nice to him.
A favorite scene is in chapter 41, where he defends the old man against the street thugs in the park. I could actually see Aki sixty years down the road BEING that old man, handing out sweet bread to sad young people and giving them pep talks!
But I think it's his compassion for Fei Long that really shows the capacity of his heart. I know a lot of readers consider it Stockholm Syndrome, but I don't think it is because he doesn't excuse Fei Long and he doesn't ever forget what Fei Long is. But he still has the ability to empathize with him, and it's that compassion that breaks through the spite and anger and need for revenge that Fei Long had been harboring for so many years.
Blah blah, I could go on and on. I just adore him.
I sometimes seem critical of certain things Aki does, so I wanted to take a moment to point out what I like about Aki--and invite you all to do the same.
I really love it when he is daring and defiant, like in this scene:

I like him when he is being stubborn and blaming Asami too:

My very favorite Aki moments are when he starts working with Asami--like this:

and especially this:

What do you all like best about Aki?
