i don’t know what is up with 80s teenage anime males getting sexualized but it is unhealthy and worrying. I say this because both shotaro kaneda’s (akira and the other anime i can’t remember the name of so sorry) have been victims for shotacons and it makes me want to puke. mind you the first kaneda is fifteen the second one is TWELVE. i don’t want to hear any excuses if you’re sexualizing a child whether it is animated or something else you’re fucking weird.
It wasn’t easy for Hanamichi to accept he was in rehab, after all he was the loose bolt of Shoukoku. He was the fiery red hair who caused trouble on first day; now he was stuck with a spinal injury and hopeless dreams of ever being more successful than ever.
but as Hanamichi played with his bland hospital food, he couldn’t resist but to think how far he has gotten. Hell, he didn’t even know shit about basketball in the first place until he met Haruko. Now he stands here, but did he do it all because of her?
No, he did it because he’s a basketball player.
He did it because there’s no other sport that will ever replace the adrenaline he feels when the crowd roars over because of a point. The sweat-drenched uniforms at the end of games and practices. And all of those tedious basics that he did before he could even attend a game. Would he do it again? Yes.
Hanamichi suddenly felt unhungry and bothered with his thoughts. He decided to go out and see the coast from his rehabilitation home.
The sea’s salinity reached his nose, and the slight sprinkles in the air slightly pecked his face. He still fell horrible, but remembered his train of thoughts. He did well, and he would come back on the court again. He would prove to all that even when he fell low, he is going to stand up again to prove them all.
Hanamichi didn’t even notice how long he’s been outside until a staff member came out to tell him it’s time. With a smirk to his face, he knew he’s going to prove them all wrong.
And to all of them who guided him, he will say thank you.

Redraw note: The front part of the bike was reshaped, and a line was added to Kaneda's raised hand.
