Don't sweat it too much. It doesn't much matter if the boys hate him, and so far you've only acted weird in front ofone girl ;) You could try being nice to her, she's a forgiving kid. Arisu seemed to be impressed too ;)<br/><br/>I think the nationality is irrelevant, the way he acted in front of Rika would have got him despised by anyone who saw that exchange, whether he'd been Japanese, a rebel with his own agenda or a Martian ;)<br/><br/>I'd be interested to know if Mana saw that little scene though, and if she did, what she thought.<br/><br/>I think you should just play him how you want to play him, and enjoy yourself, I guess there ARE Japanese boys around who despise the system, just like there are everywhere else. He could well know how things are and just be fighting it for his own reasons.<br/><br/>So my advice is keep him Japanese but play him how you like.
