Summary

Vol.15 Ch. 198-214

Ch.198

山王 big bad scary wolf

もう喧嘩だなんて

Ch.199

誰だっけ君

切符買っとけよ

晴子 drops the phone just as he says

poor guy

I will say I really loved the ending point in the anime - spoiler alert but they had an invitational-style warmup match before 全国 and then ended. So this is uncharted territory for me now finally

The 緊張 before the storm

I feel their anticipation from here, and relate a little

Ch.200

彦一 belting it out

But what a good guy

Also I just realised it missed 桜木’s gang saving up money to come to Hiroshima (and to help him pay for stuff) which was a really amazing arc in the anime

ポテンシャルしらねー

ナガレカワ - rude

湘北 are used to having people not being able to read their names

Reminds me of 烏野 in Haikyu a bit

Ch.201

ちょんまげ

I had to look this up and wow I think there’s not many things I’d rather be called less

The style looks different already in this match

Ch.202

It feels so chaotic, so much going on

That might be the angriest 桜木 has ever looked

Face filling the page

And さすが he tried too hard and screwed it

Ch.203

安田 finally getting his time in the sun

Good for him, he deserves it

勝負師

功を奏し

切り札 goes along nicely with 秘密兵器

Ch.204

Late respect for魚住

凄さを知った

Wow what a phrase

桜木 finally objectively realised how good 流川 is

Everyone sees how good he is

Ch.205

Liking the mixing in of future tense into everything here

エースキラー goes unimaginably hard

桜木 going out to defend 流川

At least we have a proper villain now

Ch.206

This is getting nasty

南 just going full n villain mode now
