History Manga / CleanFreakAoyamakun

This leads to him playing football in a unique way: avoiding any and all physical contact with other players and the ball (except with his feet), and even outside of football. However, he's still wanted by many talent scouts and is widely admired in spite of his eccentric personality.

* EasilyImpressed: Aoyama's fanclub is impressed with anything he does, including how clean his fingertips are and him cleaning the class board and windows, calling him cool for it.

* {{Foil}}: Kaoru is HotBlooded regarding football and puts lots of effort into it, unlike the naturally talented stoic Aoyama. However, they both love winning.

** Zigzagged and parodied. The anime's entire premise is that he '''really''' hates physical contact and avoids it like the plague, even rejecting his teammates' attempts at hugging him after winning a match. And if he absolutely has to touch something/someone, he wears gloves. However, for some unexplained reason, Odagiri is the sole exception, as he willingly goes to her and touches her even without gloves.

* RomanticFalseLead: Odagiri is introduced as the better candidate for winning Aoyama's heart than Moka, who watches silently as the two mesh very well and have sweet moments together that make all the students think they're dating.

* VisibleOdor: Aoyama's pork miso soup has a visible but good smell that can reach a different classroom and have them finish the food in minutes.

->''In order to stay out of touching distance from other players, Aoyama's movements are frighteningly precise, and that's consistently true from start to finish. If defenders come near him, he dribbles right through them. Or he hits a telling one-touch pass. [...] This is the playing style Aoyama arrived at after considering all of the things he can't do. The germophobe's absolute domain.

** One time he tried to shake hands with Sayaka, he {{faint|ing}}ed afterward, and he's bewildered as to why.

* WrongAssumption: The football's club dim-witted trio jump to the conclusion that Tsubasa, who has an obvious crush on Moka, is only helping her confess to Aoyama, so the latter would reject her advances and she'd come heartbroken to him and he'll "make her his own" by consoling her. None of this is true, and Tsubasa is supporting her for pure motives.

He's absolutely okay with starving over eating food made by someone else because of this.

He treats her favorably than others by allowing her to touch him, asks Odagiri to come watch his football match and goes out of his way to high five her after literally refusing hugs from his teammates in celebration as if she's his girlfriend.
