it's important to remember that Fukuda is Team A's coach, not theirs... the nudging he's giving Aoi is p much special attention. so at this point in the manga, we cant judge his quality. but his one really fat blemish is, of course, REALLY bad. the way he handled Aoi's recruitment is extremely ick. he essentially trapped him. "I kept my intentions hidden so you'd join" is such a red flag lmao... I'm very curious to see how he is as a coach on Team A. i get the impression the author does want us to question Fukuda, so i'm hoping something comes of that later. anyway, Tatsumi best manager/coach yatta
