I really like Kanji, but I wish they had been more clear about him. I'm all for subtlety and complex characters, but video games don't have the best track record and it would be nice if they just said he was gay, end of story, accept it.
As it is, I can read Kanji three ways: homosexual, bisexual, or straight but getting messages from society that something must be wrong with him because he likes traditionally feminine hobbies.

And now I want to talk about some (what I think are) misreadings of Naoto, but I'll wait until after Laceblade gets that far.
