I saw what you meant Harry. (kind of)
spoiler for chapter 321:
>female soccer rival for Nana
>could be interesting
>potential for watching girls compete against each other
>aw yiss
>decides to chase after Kakeru instead in hopes of sparking jealousy
>son-i-am-disappoint.jpg
From real potential rival to trashy love rival with no chance of character development, in less than 15 pages.
Dang it, author.
Iwaki should have dragged Mine out into the ocean and drowned her.
Oh, and DAT ASS!!!!
If you want some Nana goodness, you should check out the latest RAW lol.
I checked the RAW out of curiosity and interestingly enough, you're right about her observation from outside the field.
actually, I don't see why Nana can't do so. Unlike the players, she's actually viewing from a comfortable viewing spot, hence she's more able to predict short term from the overall movements of the team.
However, once in-game, it'll not be so easy. (Although she and Suguru-type of players are able to grasp the general flow of the entire field)
btw, I still want more Nana cover.
Seven's super predictive abilities on what's going to happen on the pitch is getting a little much. I understand she's a genius, in a sports manga no less, but holy crap woman dial it down!!
On a serious note, according to a comment below, do we really have to sit through
this manga still lacks the basic stuff needed in a sport manga
What is next? a hollow mask!
@cookieness, you hit the nail on the head with your assessment. I have no doubt if Kakeru didn't have a brother complex and kept at it instead of running away he would've been just as great as his brother in his own right. Now it's just going to take longer to get to that point and we'll just have to suffer through the chest raping until we get there.
As well as your other point with how it tends to bog down so to speak. Sadly, it doesn't get any better since I keep up with the raws. Well one can't claim that this is another Tsubasa knock-off. I could be wrong, but I don't think Kakeru develops anything new either.
Infact just a minor spoiler. He still isn't a starter and we're at chapter 312 already. The author spends far too much time on every other player and not enough on Kakeru. That's what keeps it at just a good manga and not a great one.
Then again look at Kenichi and how pathetic his character has become in HSDK and it's already up in the 500's. Hopefully, Kakeru won't follow that route.
the way it was shown at chapter 112 doesnt really feel right
but looking up chapter 112 made it unbearable to continue reading this. even his facial features changed to the way his big brother looked. it felt like a new kind of trollface...
I usually appreciate unique aspects of a story line in games/manga, but here it just doesn't feel executed well.
So can anyone who can actually read japanese and has been reading the untranslated volumes can pm me and tell me if it gets better and less focused on this "possessed by the brother" storyline?
Which is what's actually happening, see that brazilian dude.
Technically he is possesed by his brothers ghost.
somehow undermines the actual development of the mc himself and instead makes me feel like all the people start seeing his brother in him instead the actual mc.
anyhow the main ch 108 has been released and should be added here soon
