Discussion Guidelines

Spoiler Courtesy

If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.

1. Any potential spoiler for this volume need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture still fall into this category. It helps to include a label of what chapter / page you’re on.
2. Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled.
3. Any information from later volumes, anime and film needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections.

Instructions for Spoiler Tags

Click the cog above the text box and use either the “Hide Details” or “Blur Spoiler” options. The text which says “This text will be hidden” should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of “Hide Details”, the section in the brackets that is labelled “Summary” can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=”Chapter 1, Pg. 1”]).

Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:

Example

This is an example of the “Hide Details” option.

The “Blur Spoiler” option will simply blur the text it surrounds.

Posting Advice

• When asking for help, please mention the page number, and check before posting that your question hasn’t already been asked. As the threads get longer, it becomes more convenient to use the Search function, which is located in the upper right corner of the forum. It is the magnifying glass which is near your profile picture! The best way to search is usually to type part of the sentence you are confused about, and select “in this topic”. This will show you all posts within the current thread which has that string of text.
• Be sure to join the conversation! It’s fun, and it’s what keeps these book clubs lively! There’s no such thing as a stupid question! We are all learning here, and if the question has crossed your mind, there’s a very good chance it has crossed somebody else’s also! Asking and answering questions is a great learning opportunity for everyone involved, so never hesitate to do so!

I have been slowly reading this volume, just haven’t posted yet!!
Still loving ittt

Chapter 135

Ahh, the cover art for this one is great! I love it haha

I also love anytime there’s any close-up shots/detailed drawings with Mitsui, because you can see his scar haha

Chapter 136

AWWWWWW NOO POOR SAKURAGI HAHAHA, of course the ball even landed in Haruko’s hands of all people hahaha

Sakuragi putting his fingers in his ears whenever Mitsui is actually trying to help He will NOT be swayed or tricked by the enemy lol

Ahh, the 先輩 did end up winning!!

Chapter 137

Look at Sakuragi go!!! I love this, he’s working so hard! :')

Chapter 138

When everyone was freaking out about Sakuragi not being there, I thought maybe he actually wasn’t showing up. Like on purpose, if he was still feeling guilty over losing the last game?? But no, he just fell asleep HAHAHA, poor dumb boy. But it’s because he’s been practicing so hard!! He takes his basketball seriously now :') He’s gonna become a powerhouse pretty soon

Chapter 139

Ooh, a fully shaded chapter!!

HAHA, when Kiyota goes for the alley-oop dunk and fails, but it still makes it in

Haha, that powerful dap the coaches did, raw power

Ooh, out of everyone I think I’m most excited to see Fuku play!!

Chapter 140

OOOOh, that alley-oop was clean!! Everyone else’s reactions were great too. It was even more cool and surprising because it’s so early in the game!!

Chapter 141

Ohhh, Kiyota was so close to making that one!! The 「お前ら本当にこの陵南相手に1てんさだったのか？」 from Mitsui was funny, as they’re all sweating haha

Chapter 142

Haha this was funny, that poor boy couldn’t take it anymore after a whole year :’))
I like that added detail to his character tho!! That he’s more sensitive, and that he does really want to be complimented haha. So then Sendou saying 「ナイス！」was really sweet

HAHAHA SAKURAGI STOP, he’s arguing with this random man and stepping on like five people in the process

Haha, the little Sakuragi

Go Kiyota!!! That’s the move he was trying to do earlier right?? He did it!!

Chapter 143

Haha everyone’s leaving, Sakuragi started it!! Everyone feels like the next match will rely on them!! Hopefully that means they’ll all equally bring their A-game lol

And that’s it for this chunk of chapters!! I’m glad my volume continues since it’s in the middle of the match hehehe
