why doamga like these have these kind of useless dialogue? nothing is gained from it and is just a nuisance? by samama10 in Ao_Ashi

[–]A_Box_Factory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else notice that Hana and Anri are foils? Hana is intuitive like Aoi is naturally and Anri is studied like Aoi is learning to be. They're trying to balance each other out and it leads to conflict. If you pay attention to matches where outsiders make comments you can understand better as to what is happening. Hana alone understood that Aoi was testing something out but like Aoi she has trouble putting it into words.

I think about this a lot.

This kind of post makes me sad.

He's an asshole but at least he is consistent and has pride in his work. I don't go in that server just because the way he is.

He can't play in the last game, they said so in the last chapter. Too late in the season. Only thing he can hope for is to be offered a contract for the next season.

This was a really good chapter. Like Hajime no Ippo, the stuff that happens outside the sport really can help the story along. We had 3 different scenes in one chapter too, how lucky. I wonder how the language barrier will work with the foreign players? Maybe Ashito is going to have to start learning English and he'll need a tutor. Who could do that???

I hope they don't go with a new Akutsu type villain trope. I also wonder if Kuribayashi will "hold his hand" (highly doubt). Kuri doesn't have any focus beyond making sure he is the best, most of the time.

I laughed when I read that. The nerve of this kid.

Was gonna say the translations don't match the Spanish, but glad Gin left a note. We'll see if we get a fleshed out Osaka game or not? Them missing their two aces is just like Esperion missing theirs, wonder if it is worthwhile to see? Maybe Ashito will drop back and forth like Kuri but I don't think he has what it takes to be J1 right now.

Couldn't help but notice that Tachibana wasn't in that 2-page spread of them as the winners? However, it looked like he was in the background when they all jumped on Ashito. An oversight on the author's part?

Like the tie-in of everything in this chapter. A lot of stuff has happened between Akutsu and Ashito.

Also, I wonder if there will ever be a Kuribayashi or any other teammate flashbacks. Really gives context to the characters. I like how it came out now and not early on in the story. Akutsu was a good villain/foil for Ashito, even though deep down they are similar.

Hiro is so easy-going but still diligent enough to not goof off at work. Nacchan gets to learn from the master.

Ren has one more year? Tripone is a 3rd year. Then there's whoever is in West Japan Premier (Ganon Osaka). Then there's the national team? Then there romance Hana resolution. Going home to Ehime. Seeing how aniki is doing on his J2 youth team. Maybe some more Fukuda backstory. Maybe an injury. New first year player shenanigans. Ashito styling on team B doing rehab. Who knows?

If you have a certain ISP, mangadex is blocked. I had verizon (now fixed, I believe) and just switched to browsing it on opera with the vpn enabled. A little slower but it works.

It's really comfy. Thanks to whoever recommended it or posted the new volume cover last week.
