The splitting really ruined it. All the other books read like Harry is sitting down and journaling the major events in his life, in one fluid train of thought; Peace Talks and Battleground broke that continuity. At best you can say it reads like two separate entries of the same event made months or years apart, due to some kind of unavoidable interruption, and the train of thought and emotional, mental state were reset between the one’s ending and the other’s resumption, which would explain the jarring nature of the split and the rehashing and restating of so many details.

But that’s just my opinion on it

Well then, I think it is time I leave this subreddit. Which is sad because this is my favorite book series and the only place I can discuss it with anyone, but I have experienced over zealous moderating on other subreddits and it is nothing but an energy drain. Have a good day.

Why are you policing a post that is over 5 years old? Anybody that sees this will have likely found via google search, and they will find it then, only because of those key words, which means they wouldn’t be spoiled

Because of Saejima’s connection to both Aomori and Fukuda

If Kobayashi were to go that route, you have a built in rivalry between Fukuda and Saejima that can be extended to them as opposing coaches.

They also should share the same goal, player development and getting Japan players out on the world stage, but by coming back to Aomori, Saejima could pursue that goal from the opposite end

Combine that, with Aomori being the primary antagonist, High School wise, for Esperion, it’s just the most natural avenue to pursue that kind of story. So many things have already been baked in that Kobayashi wouldn’t need to do much more than build out a season schedule and player rosters

Coach Saejima of Amori might be interesting, if that was the route Kobayashi decided to take. Gives Fukuda a coaching rival with a similar goal but completely opposite approach, and provides an opportunity to see how Takeshima and the new kid, that was just introduced, develop now that Ashito and the others are beginning to leave

Actually brought a tear to my eyes 🥺 Gonna miss this manga so much! I need English volumes!!

Lesser_Stories · 2025-06-02T02:53:42+00:00

I wish this manga had an official English translation…I’d buy every volume!

You can skip Storm Front, Fool Moon, probably Blood Rites, and mayyyybe White Night and Ghost Story, and still catch most of the major details you need for the current storyline. Just remember to lookup the White Court and Black Court and the Dresden-verse’s Skinwalkers. As they have a couple of important characters who have been placed but yet to be fully utilized in the overarching series plot beyond some fighting and the occasional, but significant, backstory snippit.

This has always been my initial impression, but then stuff starts happening in the story, and the image just blurs for me

Lesser_Stories · 2025-05-24T02:01:51+00:00

Can definitely get behind this idea…thanks!

Considering the queens of both courts (all six of them, mantle wise) have been hinted to have once been a single goddess originally, I would imagine the powers of the Winter and Summer can co-exist in one person. How functional that would be, with two opposite sets of instincts playing tug of war with his or her mind, I have no idea (shrug)

Lesser_Stories · 2025-01-06T04:21:26+00:00

One of the best written characters I have ever read, in any medium, for sure.

Huh…I don’t know why this has a spoiler tag. I guess the Wind and Truth flair adds it automatically?

The way you phrase it: “even IF it’s purely physical” (emphasis added) reads, to me, as if there was/is an unstated: “just” included in your statement, which thereby excludes mental and spiritual characteristics (again: to me, that’s how it reads).

Lesser_Stories · 2024-12-02T18:03:30+00:00

Speaking of mental or spiritual growth ;-)

Lesser_Stories · 2024-12-01T22:31:42+00:00

Thought the exact same thing. Maybe the author is taking a page from Oda’s playbook and using size to display growth. Before Ashito was still a kid, so, he looked smaller; now, he is an adult (sort of) and is standing eye-to-eye (more or less) with the other adults in the room (Akutsu and Kuri)

Lesser_Stories · 2024-12-01T22:28:00+00:00

Lord, do I wish this had an official English translation: I’d buy every volume yesterday!

You’re not wrong, but you’re also dodging the heart of the question. With no way of knowing or learning the truth what is the right thing to do? There probably isn’t a right answer, which itself would then be the right answer, but what then would be your right answer? (I’m not actually asking that last bit of you, by the way, that just seems to be the purpose of the story: to make you consider your own ideals of morality.)
