I really like how this series has handled both relationships and racism. It's those not-the-actual-focus-of-the-manga things that elevate a sports manga above its competitors, not unlike Cross Game.

wait, did you all misread "disappointing" as disappointed?
because hana isn't saying she's disappointed.
the feelings that she has for ashito will disappoint him as it would get in the way of his dream.
she thinks her feelings for him are disappointing/shameful/pathetic (情けない). she's not disappointed.
