KNB 30 DAYS CHALLENGE (DAYS 1-5)
The full challenge: HERE
DAY 1 - Favorite Male Character
:Kiyoshi Teppei
UGH I hate to pick favorites cuz I love them all, but when it comes to their characters specifically, I already had my options down to two: Kise and Kiyoshi. And I picked Kiyoshi over Kise as I overall preferred his personality.
Anyways, I LOVE Kiyoshi so much🥹. I love the role he plays in Seirin’s team as well as his dynamics with the other members. With the underclassmen he’s an older mentor/brother figure, and with Hyuga, he’s brought down ti earth more, plus their banter is SO ENTERTAININGGGG
Of course my fave moments of him are in the Kirisaki Dai Ichi game. I HATED that match, but for the Seirin backstory and Kiyoshi and Hyuga development, I’ll cut it some slack.
DAY 2 - Favorite Female Character
:Aida Riko
AGAIN. Hate to pick favorites. I LOVE both her and Momoi to DEATH. But in some ways I do like her more… I think. Honestly, it really is a close call between her and Momoi and I love them both. My answer honestly depends on the day. T^T…
Anyways, about Riko herself, LOVE her. Queen always speaks her mind, and always puts her boys in place as she should. My favorite moments of her are her more emotional ones like crying after the Seirin vs. Seiho and Kirisaki games. It so sweet to see that the team really matters to her too as their coach and at that point she honestly feels like another teammate rather than their coach/manager. She’s great <333
DAY 3 - Least Favorite Male Character
:Hanamiya Makoto
>:(
Despite the fact that on the surface I may actually dislike Haizaki more, my least favorite is Hanamiya. It’s not just because of the fact that HE INJURED KIYOSHI (forever holding that against him even as someone who basically never holds grudges), but also because of his attitude and personality.
The only time I’ve seen a faker person is when I look in the mirror gosh. He’s also just frustrating in that he’s also very smart.
Love to see him get knocked down a peg tho. Mainly through Imayoshi and Kiyoshi just getting under his skin SO EASILY. It’s so funny to watch. I hate him ^u^
DAY 4 - Least Favorite Female Character
:Araki Masako
This day is interesting cuz its not like I dislike any of the girl characters; in fact, I like all of them, but if I had to pick, it’d be coach Araki, but mainly cuz:
Her lack of screentime I guess. We only ever get to see her briefly during the Yosen game, and she also only appears briefly in the light novels, appearing every once in a while, but at least Alex had a small chapter to shine with her and her students so I wish Araki had gotten something similar:
Maybe something talking about they days when she knew the other coaches and we got to see her relationship with them in more detail like with actual conversations. Just my thoughts. But I do still like her and her girlboss attitude <33
Day 5 - Your OTP
:Hyuga x Riko
My parents T^T Had a hard time choosing which of my KnB ships I would consider my “OTP” especially since I’m a multishipper and ship everything but they’re just SO CUTE🥹
I love their tiny moments across the series and how Hyuga really does want to show her his support. They great for each other and I love them sm🥹
Here’s a bonus:
Don’t worry Junpei, you’ll get there someday… Probably by confessing naked 😙
