I'm really liking Tou no Chuujou (The Secretary Captain). He's Genji's best friend and is super awesome. When Genji goes off alone to visit his lover in the middle of nowhere, Tou no Chuujou follows him at a distance and waits for him outside to say what comes down to "If I followed you, other people can too. Bring some goddamn bodyguards with you next time, 'kay?"
Of course, I'm pretty sure any brigands who might set upon him would immediately be dazzled by his blinding good looks. Seriously, the dude's so handsome that when he gets a ridiculously high promotion, no-one feels jealous of him -- they're too happy that they get to see him more. :D
I also love Taifu, even if I'm pretty sure we'll never see her again. She's the one female character who's definitely Genji's friend and not his lover.
I've saved the best for last, though. *divine trumpet-blowing* Genji gets an awesome and slightly hilarious moment of Ho Yay with his uncle/father-in-law (his father's young wife's brother, hereafter referred to as His Highness of War.) Well, more like twenty minutes of Ho Yay -- look, I can't do it justice, so I'll just quote it here.
His Highness received Genji when he learned that he was there. Elegant and romantically languorous as His Highness was, Genji speculated privately about the pleasures of his company if he were a woman and, having a double reason to feel close to him, engaged him in intent conversation. His Highness for his part noticed how much more open and easy Genji was than usual, liked his looks a great deal, and, being unaware that Genji was his son-in-law, indulged his roving fancy in the pleasure of imagining him, too, as a woman.
Genji and His Highness of War spend time talking and imagining having sex with each other. Yes.
And we're not even 150 pages in.
