Sakuragi would have never chased love for so long if he knew it was going to feel like this.

I was unable to find any video tribute for these two that covers their canon relationship. So.. I made one ! Very unlikely anyone will see, but it's one of my favourite pairings ever, so I decided to post it here.

Sakuragi using the tsundere headlock cause he got caught caring

NEW DESERT COVER LETSGOOO THE BABIES ARE GETTING MARRIED TRUSTTTT

Looks like I cannot update my YYH fanfic yet because I'm getting deeper and deeper into Slam Dunk. I'm now into the manga and LOOK AT THIS. WHY IS RUHANA SO MUCH GAYER IN THE MANGA THAN BOTH THE TV SERIES AND THE MOVIE???? Manga ending Hanamichi confesses his love FOR BASKETBALL in front of Haruko and before that, he's acknowledging that Rukawa's basketball is beautiful. DID HANAMICHI FALL IN LOVE WITH BASKETBALL BECAUSE OF RUKAWA'S PLAY?? Are you kidding me? This wasn't animated but goddamn, the manga is just one queer bombshell after another.

Rukawa was cheering for Sakuragi when Sakuragi wasn't looking. These gay idiots are so annoying. 😭
