This part went from iffy to really amazing near the end I remember

Summary

Ch.180

I really like the bit of him struggling to open the can

Look of disgust from 桜木 towards 柔道男

Ch.181

桜木 turning into defensive master class

ぬっ

Ch.182

陵南の不安要素でもあるのか?

I really hate Wチーム

小暮ふりーだ!

Ch.183

Good good backstory

What a link to the shot as well

Ch.184

Well I’ve been iffy on lots of this volume so far

But that silent section leading up to 桜木 was amazing

Truly breathtaking

Ch.185

赤木 crying has got me tearing up too

Reversal of roles

Like the りがとうございます in brackets

Throwing おやじ at the ceiling

What an ending

Vol.14 ch.186-197

Ch.186

Bunch of furyou playing pachinko

おめーと同じ

And it’s the 流川 America arc

Ch.187

Why…

Big bad 寛 turns up

Just casually knocks over 桜木 and barely notices - that scene was bette rin the anime

Ch.188

板前 is a way of referring to it I’d never heard before the anime and probably haven’t heard since

彦一 going on his villain arc, I love it
