*laughs* I know what you mean. I haven't been in the OP fandom for awhile, this doujinshi spree has been the closest I've been in ages, so I do feel a little sad that they don't get much development together in the manga. (Though, they had a really awesome moment at the end of the Thriller Bark arc!) And doujinshi is actually a great way to make up for it because some of the artists just NAIL Oda's style. *__*
There are a lot of complaints you could probably make about REBORN! and Amano's writing, I've certainly been impatient or irritated plenty of times myself. (I think the Millefiore arc did not go as well as it could have and I have not been that enthused with the new crop of characters, unlike how I felt with the Kokuyou and Varia arcs.) But there's a lot to be said for Amano's writing, too, and I really like Gokudera's character a lot. ....and Hibari. Holy shit, I love Hibari and I love how Amano writes him.
(a;lsdfkjaslkj of course they give Kouyuu development once the anime has ended. It's like they're trying to frustrate us sometimes. >:/)
