I like the Soft Boi™ characters like Makoto from Free! and of course Asahi and Yuri from YOI, especially when they’ve got a similar personality trait like I do that isn’t the best thing and they overcome it or at least learn to get better at it. I guess it’s almost kind of like a silly “okay, if they can do it, I can too!” type of deal. Which is super dumb now that I think about it…

It’s not dumb at all! That’s the beauty of imagination and admiring those we find common ground with! I feel a kinship with the older sibling types because I too protect and look out for my friends and want to do my best for them. So characters like Daichi and Kiyoshi are ones I really connect with!
