i read your comments in this post and i really like the way you compared Tezuka and Ryoma's personalities :D

i think their attitudes about tennis, about doing things right until the end, and being neither too modest nor too proud but just being honest about their skills.

the only difference i could see is Tezuka is more mature than Ryoma, and that as a Captain, he has to follow a Captain's Code of Ethics.

gah! sorry, sorry... i'm not eloquent enough. but more or less, i'm glad because you were able to put into words what i think about Buchou and Ochibi. :D
