Circle

The long awaited last match of Nationals. Drama, I-4

Seiichi's smile changed, undiluted pleasure added to the satisfaction. It was the last round of Nationals, and they were ready.

One thing I admire about your writing (other than your excellent grasp of personality and characterization for every character you write), is that you're one of the few writers I know who actually describes tennis, and not only that, you make it interesting. Despite my obsession with a tennis-centered anime and manga...I really find tennis excruciatingly boring, and anyone who can make me lean forward toward my screen in anticipation with it is someone to be saluted! *salutes*

And I have loved, loved, LOVED this entire series, even if sometimes the pairings (and then some) make myself and my muses go "ACKACKACK!!!!", I have still cherished every word.

And YOU are the first person to receive my long-awaited "holiest fucking gods" icon (believe me, this is an achievement)!

And I can't wait for Kirihara-buchou. *little squee* Akaya's my favorite character in the entire series (though very closely followed by Marui and Yukimura and the entire Rikkai team) and the thought of him as team captain makes my heart leap. *bounces*
