Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another great shoujo series heart

To be honest, I'm not really a big fan of Nobara (sorry [][]hi[][] whee ) Not saying I hate her character. She does have a strong sense of character and personality, but she isn't one of my favorite female leads. But what did draw me to this series was because the theme of girl's volleyball in shoujo was just very eek . There is actually a lot of romance in it too, in my opinion, especially since volume 3.

A good read!!

Not really into the manga, but i have interest in volleyball. I like Nobara for her attitude(or personality) and goal. 3nodding How far has the manga gone?

YUUSHIN!!!!! Lol, I am just really supportive of YuushinxNobara...iono I think they'd be cute.

Anyways, I really like this manga because it's different than usual shoujo and I like the fact that Nobara can be assertive and strive towards a goal but at the same time she's real and has to deal with real life issues like love. I just love her character and the strength that she has as a character.

Oh, I haven't really read any of the later volumes so I wouldn't know about her becoming more feminine, though I also hope that she retains her tomboyishness, since that's one of the reasons that I like her so much.

As for Keisuke...iono, he always seemed a little creepy to me...I guess I just prefer the awkwardness of the interaction between Nobaru and Yuushin. Though, then again I haven't read later volumes so maybe my opinion would change if I read it.

and it's really great that the main character's so good at the sport and ::to be able to play against male volley ball players at the college level and play beach volley ball with the guys and:: you can just see her being able to achieve great things in the sport!!

yeah, they just got past that part in the shojo beat issues. the whole thing with ayako and stuff. though other than tomoyo, her teammates really aren't outstanding volleyball players and even tomoyo probably hasn't returned to a level where people just have to notice her, since their team is smaller than average, their bond is probably also stronger than average. having to deal with the same six people and only those six people really helps them build a bond beyond just plain teammates and you see them become friends too. so other than their need to perform on the court, they've also got that whole thing with wanting to support each other so that keeps them from thinking of themselves only. i think it'd be a more selfish thought if one of them were to say "i can't do this because nobara's out of my league" instead of "i've got to be better so i can really be part of this team with nobara" and ayako got that after her little breakdown. and it's good that she burst out like that towards nobara too, because it just strengthened kanako and kyoka's determination all the more, making them realize that they really want to stick with the team. i swear i could go on and on, but i'll just leave it at that sweatdrop

Crimson Hero is a great manga i love everything about it. It's very insprational and it makes me want to try harder in the things i love to do. I love Nobaras will power and her strenght. I think that Nobara and Yushin make a cute couple biggrin .
