I love good backstory and this is probably the best backstory section in the whole manga

Summary

Ch.189

One of the single best backstory chapters in the whole series with 安西先生 and 相沢. No more notes than that it’s just great.

Ch.190

流川 locked in

Yet another banger of a chapter with 流川 going up another level, 晴子 et al

Ch.191

実力もねーのに

Sweat contest

桜木 in a permanent state of enlarged head because of 流川

流川 seriously locked in

鬼気迫る indeed

Ch.192

I see the condensed form of 聞く in that icon, don’t see もんがまえ like that so much

ゴリ also locked in

放心状態

Ch.193

And here we go with the manga trope of studying to be allowed to play the tournament

赤点王

身の程知らずめ

このくらいの角度

Melon

Ch.194

晴子 get your mind out the gutter

One of my favorite parts, here comes the 特訓!!!

ケツアゲ

肉がゆれてる

ドーン

Ch.195

Video analysis

I used to do a lot of form analysis when rowing

Memories

認めん

下手糞の上級者への道のりは己が下手さを知りては一歩目

Nice

I hope 安西先生 said ニヤリ

容赦なく!

Ch.196

体が疲れてきたときこそリズムを思い出して

Eating like it as well

I’ve never seen people eat as much as rowers

One guy I lived with used to eat a whole bag of pasta for dinner

500g of dry pasta by weight cooked with pesto

Insanity

Using 桜木 as motivation, I like it

And opposite

Ch.197

Full black spread, oh my god

デート…のよーなもの…

はかない人には売れないね

And here comes 店長 backstory

百円

And off to 全国…

What a volume. I love the good backstory stuff and this one might be one of the best

Constantly smiling
