okay i've started reading the manga (available in chinese) after watching the fantastically fabulous capeta anime, and somehow it feels a lot different in the manga than the anime.. like some events happened totally differently (such as capeta joining FSRS instead of Persec) which isn't necessarily a bad thing... but, WTH.

instead of the non-feeling efficient machine Minamoto Naomi is supposed to be, he is....... obviously crushing on monami, OMG. what about nobu?!?!?! and... now in vol. 17, that Hata girl is hitting on Capeta and inviting him to visit the shrine during new year (intimate gesture for japanese) and blushing... capeta is responding likewise.

i can go on and on about the differences (don't get me started on capeta's racing style in manga VS anime), for now however this is the major gripe... gosh. i think we can do without the romance element if the pairings are going to be like this.. -_-

*edit: okay now hata & capeta just held hands = =.... SPARE ME

**edit: GREAT NOW THEY BUMPED INTO NAOMI AND MONAMI...dating secretly. AWKWARD MAX

I'm okay with the romance since there are hints in the Minamoto/Minami scenes now but Capeta seems like the type to go driving crazy ( like Chihaya in Chihaya so dense in everything but karuta) but dating?

I like how in the current chapter, he wants to show up Capeta and crashes(as Minami predicted)... what will happened to your Stella race now?!
