Rec, boytouching, terminology.

Firestarter (1/4) by storyteller. More tenipuri schools AU -- Ryoma at Yamabuki. Da-da-da-dan! Go, read, comment, love.

And, hey, there are lots of schools left. Just saying.

In other news, ep 2 of Gakuen Heaven is out and the insanely gratuitous boytouching has begun. It's all a bit eye-roll-inspiring, but I think I'll have to watch the elbow-licking scene again. And again. Guh. Tall, dark, intense, bespectacled -- even if he weren't voiced by Morikawa, Nakajima would so be my boyfriend.

And the Bell Liberty tennis club captain? Is "captain". Let's compare series with tennis clubs:

Ace wo Nerae: captain
Gakuen Heaven: captain
Prince of Tennis: buchou <-- Why? Why not use captain, since it's a sports club?

For some reason, I have a real bee in my bonnet about this one. You don't need to tell me I'm a freak to think about it so much; I already know that.

ETA: Genius 307. Huh.

I have always thought about the buchou/captain thing, specially when scanlating. It seems so wrong to write "Buchou" as "captain". I thing maybe one of the reasons, in the case of Tezuka, is because he is more the King of the club that the one who leads them in battle, unlike other series. His word is law, and his presence is soothing, but they don't go to him for counsel, nor is he the one who determines victory or defeat, or whose dreams everybody shares.
