Kitamura as a cunning bastard...
Now that would be a plot twist...
So far he looked more like a very transparent character: saying what he thinks or simply acting with little concern for "normal" behavior patterns.
Maybe it's an aftereffect of Hanai, but this is the kind of characters I can relate the most; but what's with this trend of making them into athletes? And super-popular with the ladies to boot!
But it is true that, according to my memories of middle school, extravagant behavior can trigger mass-popularity effect in distant crowds of girls; maybe it has to do with the extravagant behavior causing a gentleman aura, opposed to the normal jerks; and the distance blurring the oddity...
