I am not a Kagami hater, but I still wish for Kuroko to shine even brighter than everybody else in the team. He may be a shadow, but that doesn't mean he can't be more than that. Who knows...maybe Akashi stunted his growth cuz he knew Kuroko's potential was way bigger than anybody else in their team. Also, it's titled "Kuroko No Basuke," I was convinced to read it because I thought that this "phantom sixth man" (whose presence is always forgotten) had something even greater to offer. I always had this thing for "do-not-judge-the-book-by-its-cover" story lines. tehee ;)
We want to see kuroko shine brighter not because he's the main character but while reading the story we become kuroko. That's how it works and i see no reason why you guys are going way overboard with this. I mean in the end, the entire basketball match plan is made by kuroko since he's the one who knows Kiseki no sedai the most. I think being the mind is way better than being the body of the game. And i love kagami since he's not the stupid dominant type who would disregard kuroko's intentions and plans. I like kuroko because he never fights for the spotlight and knows and does the best he can in the best way he knows
Lol Kuroko no Basket started off with his way (thoughts and feelings) of basketball and morphed into something totally new. No one's opinions and morals stay the same forever. Plus Kuroko can't just start playing like everyone else, he was never good at basketball to begin with. Everything he capable of now is through hard work. Shadowing is what he does, always will be. For all you Kagami haters, get over it! Lol If you don't like that he's dominating the story that's to bad. At the end of the day Kagami is Kuroko's better half in basketball. They DO balance and piggy back off of each other. It's what works for them. If you are starting to dislike the story and it's potential ending go and write an alternative that will make you happy cause all your complaining in the world ain't gonna change a thing. Lol ^^
