@DLSanma I get your point, at least the ojou is there as a side plot for a female coach (still not happy that she's used as romantic interest, but she's probably gonna end with Togashi, they could have done that without making her swon for Aoi)
I kind of like/hate Hana, she's there for the side that he doesn't need to have only football for life, and she's gonna study something sport related. Buuut her huge brocon thing kind of irks me and sometimes feels like they have a kind of toxic relationship with Aoi (although it could be the youth inexperience too for that)
