#also. usopp never tells them that they're wrong. he just starts being dramatic and saying

[beanghostprincess]

Sanji kisses Usopp while he is still in his Sogeking suit once and when Luffy and Chopper see it they start panicking and yelling furiously at Sanji because they think he's cheating on Usopp

Alright, Alright, public ramblin time cause lol

So... what kind of manga would Nanba enjoy??? and who would his favourite characters be?

(this is a question, not an answer to it)

In Infinite Wealth, one of Nanba's Bingo talks - Nanba hits the books - he says that, as a medical student, he used to read a ton of manga and can tell you about any during that time.

He's 41 during Y7. If we say he went immediately to medical school, he would've been 18 and had to study for 6 years, making him 24 when he finished. So, that would be 1997-2003

He's really vague with it, saying just 'any manga from that period (in the English and Japanese dub)

So... what Manga did he read?

Well, if we take it literally and restrict it to JUST then, he should've read Cowboy Bebop, One Piece, Pokémon Adventures. Hellsing, Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe (all 1997) to kebukuro West Gate Park, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Yotsuba&! (all 2003). Being able to also read JJBA Part 5, (1995 - 1999), 6 (1999 - 2003). Fruits Basket (1999), and (at least) start Ouran High-school Host Club (2002 - 2010).

So there's quite a wide selection to read, even in just a singular year. But then..what could've been Nanba's favourite?

Well, we know he's not opposed to romance (e.g: he's a fan of the shark movie you can watch with him in Yakuza 7), so that doesn't slim it down. He likes comedy and action, also not helping.

I have the feeling, despite being the biggest JJBA fan, he might've read it and enjoyed it at least, but I feel like calling him a fan would be a stretch.

Dragon Ball and One Piece I feel like are the most likely (l am not a massive fan on either of these series, and haven't really read/watched them, so I can't give you an opinion)

Cowboy Bebop is another possible one. It's dramatic and full of action, whilst having a stubborn, laid-back protag. I feel like Nanba might relate to Spike, especially since they both work towards a goal and feel like they can't be loved again unless it's from that one person (love in general - not just romantically) (also, I haven't finished Cowboy Bebop yet so I could be wrong on the Spike front but idk)

Yotsuba&! l've only heard bits about. He definitely would've read it and I feel like it's something he might've read to calm down, especially since there's a lot of stress as a medical student. It's a comedy and a slice-of-life (I read alot of manga in this genre for the same reason)

OHSHC I feel he would only read AFTER he heard about the context behind the writing. In case ya don't know; the Mangaka basically wrote each male character to be based off of different shojo/bl (yeah, both of these) male love interest tropes, since she HATED them and put them together to make fun of them. Also, Haruhi has a really progressive stance on gender and that's based. But even then, he would've read it, and at most, found it funny.

I'm still lingering around the idea of him being a One Piece or Dragon Ball fan. They include action, romance, and comedy (the cornerstones of his favourite things). But... Idk what his favourite character would be? I wanna say he doesn't care if they're a main or side character, as long as they're chill. Maybe he'd like Luffy or Goku best, but idk... I haven't met him yet, but possibly Usopp or Chopper I feel like could be his favourites. For Dragon Ball, maybe Krillin or Yamcha

I feel like if he saw someone else read it or never bought any of the volumes, he'd kick himself knowing that Cowboy Bebop fell out of print (real)

This is the issue with a guy that is specific yet so generic, I hate him /affectionate
