Great details from the High Speed novel 2 I believe everyone should know:
• Ikuya calls Natsuya “Natsu-nii”
• Haru and Sousuke had croquets in Haru’s house, played karuta grabbing, and were acquaintances hanging out
• Nao’s perfect trainer image is a fraud. He’s not as amazing as we think*
• Nao is originally an Akido martial artist!!
• Asahi and Rin’s dad are bffs*
• Kisumi envies Asahi because he’s ‘true to himself’ unlike Kisumi who’s only trying to look cool in the outside
(more under the cut! Feel free to add more uwu)
• Young Gou spends her weekends on her grandma, O-Kyou-san’s house so the latter won’t be lonely.
• Asahi’s father visits Rin and Gou’s grandma. He made her watch Asahi and the others’s race.
• Rin always tries to get girls’s attention
• Ikuya is a tantrum-throwing crybaby.
• Ikuya (and Natsuya) has a female bestfriend named Satomi Nii and they dreamt of swimming in the olympics since they were young
• Asahi was known as the guy who peed himself in his SC lol
• Asahi and Ikuya were in the same SC!
• Nao is always likened to a cat uwu since he’s so graceful and 'wastes no energy in every move he makes’
• Makoto and Haru has this female friend they’re close with, Aki-chan and they’re so cute ok!!!
• AsaKisu all the way like when they cheer for each other during their race/match, they both gain energy and power hearing each others’ voice
• Natsuya always runs on the field and girls always gawk at him from the window during lunch time
• Haru is a sassy brat in the novels. He’s so sassy the current Haru can’t even compete
*When Asahi and Rin were kids, their dads taught them how to swim and made them race. Both dads cry when their kids showed intense competitiveness and passion in that young age and it was really touching nngghhh–
* Nao was able to fool Haru and the others that he’s a great senpai and traininer by reading so much swimming theories and visiting and asking tips from senpais who have graduated
