That makes sense. With Shishido, it's more because of the OVA than anything... baby!Gakuto and baby!Shishido seem to have so much chemistry that I can't help think they were together in first year or something. XD;;; Of course, I can't deny Silver Pair, but watching 'Fuun Shounen Atobe" really made me not be able to deny living Shishido with Gakuto, either. XD;;

Don't get me wrong - Oshitari and Gakuto was one of my very first Prince of Tennis ships, and I fought very much against liking anything else, but the writers of the OVAs seem to like to push Gakuto around on other people, and so that kind of broke my "don't read anything but OshiGaku" stance. XD; Still, I definitely agree with all yours points, and I do love the two of them together.
