Honestly Manami is one of my favorite characters from YP too. Like he terrified me at first (he’s kind of a demon child tbh) but he’s so precious??? Like at the end of the In High, how he tries his hardest for his team???? Best boy, 10/10. And Idk if you got to the HakoGaku part of New Generation yet, but Manami just… I love him. And Ashikiba is so cute, omg. Giraffe child.

More spoilers here for those who have not watched Yowamushi Pedal (please do and then come back here and scream about it with us because it’s amazing!)

LOL, demon child with wings, he’s so precious. I have seen a bit of him in New Generation and yes, his battle at the end was amazing. 

And yes the giraffe, he is so awkward and weird but endearing, like, let me hug you, you tol softie. 

I….love….Teshima in New Generation. Like, when I first saw him and Aoyagi it was like, “Back off my first years” but THEN Teshima shows up to help Onoda during the camp after he’s injured and is so encouraging and strong in his support of the team throughout the Inter High. 

Then when he’s made captain, I swooned because HE’S SO PERFECT for it. Just, the way they wrote that whole arch of them getting ready for the Inter High again was beautiful. 

AND AND AND, I SCREAMED out loud when Arakita and Kinjo ended up at the same university on the same team, like PLEASE give me more third years in university! Like that moment was so great!!!
