Rukawa & Ayako Appreciation Post
I really, really love their interactions. Their dynamic is easy to overlook because they aren't each other's most prominent bond, but I like how suble yet well-built it is.
We know that Rukawa & Ayako went to the same Junior High, so unless I'm missing something (and I may be), Ayako is the one who has known Rukawa the longest (and vice-versa) at the start of the series. This is shown in various ways, notably in the chapter where Ayako teases Haruko by poking fun at Rukawa.
While Haruko idealizes Rukawa, leading her to project a bunch of stuff that he doesn't actually feel onto him, Ayako is the opposite. She doesn't see him through rose-tinted glasses and even pokes fun at him in order to tease Haruko.
Tumblr media
However, when Haruko feels sorry for Rukawa because of Akagi going all out, Ayako is the one to spell it out for her: it's the opposite! Rukawa is the kind of guy who gets fired up by a challenge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The wording she uses is also very telling, because it shows that Ayako sees through Rukawa's aloof disposition and into the kind of player (of person) he truly is. She knows that while he may look uncaring, in truth he actually does care and he cares a lot.
I liked this exchange a lot. In just a couple of pages, Inoue establishes that Ayako has a well-rounded read of Rukawa. She sees both, the idiot (affectionate) kid and the incredible player. And she knows what makes him tick, too.
This happens once again near the end of the manga. During the tutoring session, Haruko is once again shown trying to understand Rukawa, but she does so by projecting her worries onto him. Just like last time, Ayako is the one shown having actual insight into him.
Tumblr media
This isn't the only that caught my eye about their dynamic, though. My favorite thing would be the familiarity between them.
From the get-go, we're shown that Ayako is prone to teasing Rukawa; a welcome sight considering how serious he usually is. And we're also shown that Rukawa seems pretty used to it, always taking it stride even when Ayako airs his dirty laundry in front of the entire gym lol

He also seems used to how touchy-feely she is, particularly at the start of the manga. He makes no effort to put any distance between them, which to me shows that not only is he used to it, he knows Ayako means no harm by it and is fine letting her be.
In other words, he trusts her.
Tumblr media
This trust he has in Ayako is also shown in the way he respects her. While he may complain when she wants him to play mediator when the others are being idiots, he listens to her most of the time. The biggest example of this for me is during the fight with Mitsui. When Ryota yells at Rukawa to stop, Rukawa doesn't listen. He only stops when Ayako steps in, grabbing his arm and telling him that he'd only make the situation worse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is big, because the manga shows that when it comes to Rukawa, respect is earned. Case in point, it takes him a while to start attaching "senpai" to Mitsui's name. So by the start of the manga, Ayako has already done enough to earn Rukawa's respect.
Their interactions are also super easy-going, once again showing the familiarity and trust there is between them.

So while their dynamic may not get that much attention in the manga, I feel like we see enough of it to get a clear idea of how well they get along.
I think it's really sweet that Rukawa has a reliable senpai in Ayako, even more so because literally every other girl around him is too busy projecting their fantasies onto him lol

slam dunk characters + hygiene
Miyagi
Tumblr media
Tbh I think Ryota is REALLY clean. That boy does not want to smell bad in front of his girl Ayako.
He definitely takes like 1-2 showers each day. Bro would have EXPENSIVE shampoos and conditioners to make sure his hair was looking good. Also LOTSSSS of curl cream, he’d have some in his backpack and everything in case his hair got frizzy during school.
I feel like he’d be the type to have a perfume collection. I doubt hes rich or anything but BEST BELIEVE that boy is going to have Dior Sauvage, Tom Ford, and Chanel perfume.
He’d def be the type to do alot of nail care, like filing them and making sure his nailbeds are clean.
HIM AND AYAKO WOULD DEFFFF GO TO BEAUTY SALONS TOGETHER
Sendoh
Tumblr media
• Whenever I think of the term business casual, THIS MF COMES TO MIND.
• Unlike Ryota, Sendoh isn’t necessarily obsessed with looking good, but I think he puts effort into being clean and presentable. I mean, who else is wearing a mf button up shirt while fishing?!?!
• If there is a type of self-care he’s into though, it’s DEFINITELY haircare. He wouldn’t have expensive asl haircare products like Ryota, but he got CANS AND CANS of hairgel, and he’d wake up early to perfect his hair.
• He’d probably have a fresh smell?? Like he wouldn’t smell musty or sweaty but he also wouldn’t be spraying perfume or cologne all over himself. After games he’d be QUICK to shower, from both wanting to not feel sweaty, and not wanting to smell bad.
• I feel like his hands probably get really dirty and grimy from fishing, but at the end of a fishing session, he gives his hands a DEEP cleanse. I just know his nails are clean asl!
Ayako
Tumblr media
• We all know this girl KNOWS how to take care of her. She probably has even more hair products than Ryota, and she keeps them on HAND. Definitely gets routine haircuts too, I HC that her and Ryota go to the same stylist 😜
• I think that, although Ayako is very pretty, she isn’t necessarily worried about her appearance, and her hygiene is good but it’s to make herself feel good. Like she doesn’t want to smell good because she’s worried about attracting others, but because she wants to feel comfortable yk?
