Herr Mullen Reveiws at Random.

""Am I destined always to be lonely?"" That doesn't sound like the way Daisuke would speak. He'd say something like "I'm I gonna be lonely forever?" or "I can't believe no girl wants any of this!" He is quite arrogant, at times.

He's arrogant around others, but when he's alone, he's down-to-Earth and rather unconfident. Daisuke is not a one-dimensional character. What the writers tried to subtly imply is that Daisuke puts on a persona of arrogance and ignorance in order to live up to stereotypes that his peers would associate with athletes.

I gave two examples for two different interpritations, but I didn't highlight it. There goes a point for my writing score.

I agree, it's an above average peice, and a bit of fun if you're looking for a shorter, less serious series to follow, rather than the many epics we seem to have. I should've said that, really. I didn't put myself across too well, that time. Actually, the last two reveiws have both failed to put across my recommendation. Those two both took me longer to do, so I suppose I must have lost sight of my conclusion, focusing too much on what went right and what went wrong. Ah, well: I'll make sure I give a real, personal impression of the story, next time.
