===Journal===
After finishing the manga I read an essay online about the 'coded references to homosexuality'http://stirring-still.livejournal.com/4687.html in Hikaru no Go and got curious about exactly how prevalent the opinion was (apparently very).
So there's plenty of Hikaru-Akira slash fiction (although I kinda don't like that term), but that shouldn't really be surprising. However, I did read some, and it was quite endearing and fun I admit to see the way people imagine Hikaru and Akira's relationship would go. This was the first I read and by far my favourite. It is not at all explicit and was actually the first time for a while that I've read a character say 'I love you' and been moved by it.
