It was an ok chapter, but still getting tired of seeing the spotlight passed around like a hooker in Vegas. Sadly it doesn't stop, ever.
So playing with man-to-man marking and a Libero isn't all that outdated, but playmaking Liberos like Beckenbauer are definetly outdated. Todays Liberos are all just for sweeping when everything else failed.
I just wish they would continue doing a new season of its anime counterpart. I'd like to see the development of Kakeru more on-screen. Not to mention his relationship with Seven
As for the chapter. It's probably the main thing I dislike about the story. Suguru this Suguru that. Pele's statement only infuriates me even more. Suguru is not in his body pal! No matter how much that quack doctor and you think or hope he is. Suguru isn't Patrick Swayze and this isn't Ghost.
I think the way some of them keep harping on that only diminishes the hard work Kakeru himself has put into his own soccer. Let alone the huge ass shadow he's trying to get out from under. Well the chest raping he does at times doesn't help either I suppose.
Looks like things will get messy with that sleazy reporter. Should be fun. Thanks for the new chapter S2S!
I think this one chases way to many story-arcs at the same time.
That insane doctor-chick is annoying and actually unnecessary, you could potray the "I have the heart of my brother" conflict without her. And though I like Nana-chan her own games don't do anything for the story (not mentioning she is dominating play against grown women, right...). Also after all these chapters and several moments of worrying about her having a BF, Kakeru could at least try to make a move on her lol.
There are countless football-players out there who have just one strong foot and the other one can't do much more than standing around and simple passes. Wouldn't Kakeru have scored goals with his right foot instead?
I know it's just the setting so he isn't on the team at the beginning but seriously...have a better idea than that.
