Thank you for the explanation. I think it must come down to whether or not you even like/care about Deidara's character, which I don't. To me he was one of 5a half-dozen throw-away Akatsuki villains that came and went within an arc, and had no particular connection to Sakura individually. Also... I didn't find his character at all attractive. I couldn't tell if he was male for female for several chapters.
But, now that question's answered, thanks! I was wondering if there was some Sakura/Deidara exchange or conversation in canon that this was all based on which I somehow forgot, but it doesn't look like it.
Yeah, that probably has a lot to do with it. After Kakashi and Sakura, the Akatsuki is probably my favorite bunch of characters. I have no idea why, although a lot of it probably has to do with the fact that I find them funny. And honestly, I find him more attractive in the anime (Kishimoto sometimes gets really wonky with his character designs). When I first saw pictures of him, I thought he was female, too. It's the hair.
Nope, no such exchange occurred. I don't think they ever directly speak to each other. Like I said, it's total crack.
