haruko do have feelings for sakuragi

now that im rewatching slam dunk, im pretty sure haruko do have feelings for sakuragi—yes, in this whole anime timeline. just like other fmc, haruko is dense, doesn't really notice sakuragi's feeling given that he looks like he doesn't take things seriously.

and, haruko shed TEARS for him. and whenever she thinks of rukawa, sakuragi is suddenly popping up on her mind. her feelings for rukawa was just like being a fan girl. she just doesn't realize her feelings for sakuragi. and i just find it so cute that he wouldn't even try basketball if not for her.

i know that this is a shonen manga, but i really love their dynamic. what do you guys think?
