Sure, go ahead! I'll friend you back. ^_^ I don't have anyone to squee over Dear Boys with.
Ah, Fuse. Like many others (from the mangaka's notes), I started liking him in Act II. He kind of reminds me a bit of Hiyoshi from Prince of Tennis actually, with the stubborness. Anyway, he's not born with natural talent in basketball, but he's extremely good in basketball because he keeps practicing the basics over and over and over again. He says he hates three pointers, but that's partly because he's not good at them and doesn't have natural talent like Touya Takashina, who he teaches the basics to because he sees how much talent Touya has. He sort of wants to be Touya's friend (and they're somewhat rivals), but he's disappointed when Touya stops playing basketball and just disappears. Touya loves teasing Fuse. Fuse absolutely refuses shooting from the three point line, saying that it's impractical and not real basketball. But he realizes that his team is at a disadvantage without them (despite how they are scoring three points with their shooting and getting the other team to foul technique), so he actually makes up his mind to have his senpai come in.
One of the things that makes me like Fuse a lot is how he squabbles with his senpai Kojiro Todoroki. I think those scenes are extremely funny. His teammates back him up entirely in whatever kind of play he wants to do, which shows how deep their friendship goes. Their play has improved a lot during their recent match with Mizuho, and the match between them is so very intense.
That's sort of what was off the top of my head, but yeah, if you want me to, I can go on more about him. XD;;
But yes, Aikawa is much love. He's the main character after all, and the reason reading dear boys was oh so wonderful. Like the characters in the story, I love seeing Aikawa play. ♥
