I always love your commentary!! ^^ I think the fandom needs a lot more of it, it's fascinating!! (And good to know that someone does analysis on this level even deeper than I do!)
I've always considered anime!Oishi and manga!Oishi completely different people... possibly this is because I've only started keeping track of the raw geniuses recently and also down't know where to download it. But the difference is amazing, and reading about the different levels of Tezuka's passion is also very interesting. I think in one of the rajipuri everyone was laughing at Kondou because Oishi had "become just like him", which explains the wealth of merchandise sending him up (in dresses)... and it seems to me that manga!Oishi would never be caught dead in a leotard. Which makes me wonder... how much do you factor merchandising, songs and the extra material like rajipuri into your interpretations?

I'd better go find these scanlations because it also breaks my heart that Ryoma is the only one supporting his Oishi-fukubuchou in the Oishi-Tez match. His devious side also fascinates me... we saw a little bit of the sly competitiveness in the bowling episode, but I think I'm one of the few who reads into the filler crack episodes. I've another question too... I'm totally with wonapalei when it comes to Eiji's reaction to that match, something I have a hard time imagining in the anime. Is there a lot of tension in manga!Eiji when it comes to Oishi's unquestionable passion for the club and his role, or is it like the anime where there is hardly any interaction between Tezuka and Eiji at all?

I can't wait to see what everyone else has to say!
