Merci for thread mitrac!

Been a while since I read this but reading the notes I really liked this one.

Summary

Ch.63

The scene of 桜木’s eyes as he’s getting punched… Wow. Chills. Might just be my favorite manga spread yet

この体育館には2度と来ないと言え

Ch.64

Where 木暮 grows into it… The sheer face of disappointment towards 三井

Ch.65

And the reveal as the cliffhanger of the volume…

Next volume 66-80

Ch.66

ミッチ doesn’t even look like the same person

I guess that’s the point

10 classes in a year?? Crazy

Ch.67

全国制覇…

と思わねー

桜木 being the one getting annoyed in retrospect about ミッチ calling himself a 天才. Pot, kettle

Even ゴリ getting annoyed at the story making him look bad!

Ch.68

ミッチ’s jealousy coming to the forefront

Ch.69

The injury.. just as it seemed like mentally he was back on track

最後まで…希望を捨てちゃいかん

Ch.70

And in a tale as old as time… Coming back from injury too soon

Ch.71

And even ミッチ’s goons are realizing what the reality is

主人公なのに… well he’s not wrong

夢見させるようなことを言うな… what a line

I love this bit so much.

バスケがしたいです…

Had me crying a little

三井: 「I can prove myself, I can win this! I can crush Akagi!」
赤木: 「I barely even know you, stand in your place lmao」

Chapter 71

…and that’s how villains are born btw xddd
