I think I might have the worst notes for this volume out of any of them
I don’t quite remember why
Although this game was good, but it’s just long and split across so many volumes

Summary

Ch.153

Poor 桜木, I feel your pain

Ch.154

Ch.155

吠えた

桜木’s facial expressions this game, even compared to normal, are a thing to behold

魚住’s eyes popping out of his big ol head

Ch.156

人間じゃないんだから

Now they just move into straight out boxing match

Ch.157

Ch.158

He’s just turned into that marvel big head flying robot guy

Modok or whatever his name is

Some really amazing spreads in this volume

Ch.159

I don’t really like fuku and his backstory as much as most of the others

Never really known why

Ch.160

定石 as opposed to 常識

Ok this bit of backstory is better

Ch.161

Lot of blood

悔しさで震えてる

Monsieurette Mitrac, if you do get time to put up more threads at some point, I’m about 40 chapters ahead of this one at the moment and will probably finish the series within this year hopefully
But I have a big notes files for everything so no rush, will keep as long as necessary

Chapter 153

Not the steal from behind :sob:

OUCH, Sakuragi you will be remembered fondly :pensive_face::folded_hands:

Chapter 154

Ahh, poor Akagi :((

Chapter 155

Man, poor Akagi :pensive_face: I can only imagine how an injury would scare you afterwards. I wonder if they will have to change him out? At least temporarily, if he won’t be able to stop worrying about it

Chapter 158

HAHA why is he running like that :sob: And I love the way it takes two of them to match Uozomi’s height hahaha

Oooh, nice pass Rukawa!!!

Chapter 159

Poor Fukuda, his little face looks so sad when he’s like 「交代は嫌だ…」
