Kobori and this kid might actually be quite similar; they don’t have baseball talent, but they have abilities in other areas and can contribute to the team through that.

Usually, my eyes should be dry and rough because of dry eye.
The tears that come after pulling back once are real, aren’t they…

As expected.
Which one will you break?

I’ve decided to act, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still frustrating.

It’s a scary manga…

I didn’t notice it in a baseball player style, but when I look closely, he’s really handsome.

Today we made a cruel decision.
It’s not like that.

This isn’t acting, and that’s good, right?

It’s really kind of you to start with an explanation of Koshien and then explain things step by step.

High school baseball… or rather, baseball stories generally proceed on the assumption that the readers already have a good understanding of baseball, so aside from beginner’s guides or manga that explain everything in detail, it feels quite rare to find something like that.

It seems like they’ve switched to a stance where they express their emotions more openly, as if they are interpreting and embodying the performance.

It’s funny how Taketuchi has ended up breaking Kobori without realizing it.

Of course there was trust in Kobori, but that one word from Kiriyama connecting to this refreshing sense of understanding is nice.

It seems likely that Kobori could actually break a bone during the match while pretending it was just a joke.

As expected, if everything went according to Kobori’s intentions, it would have become a sarcastic development, so it was good that it took a detour and landed nicely instead.

The author is too skilled at unfolding the story! You must have done this before, right!?

Amazing performance!!
Break my bones!!

It’s nice that the teacher seems quite worried too.

In addition to acting skills, his face is a classic handsome type, so he seems likely to succeed as an actor.

In the epilogue, it seems like the genius heading to the majors and Kiriyama who has become a pro might be overshadowed by someone winning an Oscar.

It seems that the goodness of Professor Ajawa is becoming known…

The teacher has a thick bone structure, you know.

The right to choose bones and the right to break bones are not bargaining chips for an ordinary person at all.

I wonder which bone is the easiest to break, easiest to heal, and has the least inconvenience during the healing period.
Which rib?

Kobori wants to be a professional, but he doesn’t stand on the big stage at Koshien.
Well, someone who scouts like Kobori seems to be able to pick up even those who are dedicated to supporting roles…

Even if you try to break the teacher’s bones, my arm might break instead.

If this guy has decided… it’s scary to make such unreasonable deals based on that trust.

That kind of improvisation towards Kiryama can’t be done without acting talent.

For Koshien!
For Koshien!

It’s funny that using eye drops was actually Takeda’s own idea.

Kobori wouldn’t surprise me even if he were the owner of some baseball team.

In place of not being able to go to Koshien, I made a sacred promise to break Kobori’s bones.

It’s interesting that even Kobori can’t gauge Kiryama.

This is the first manga I’ve seen explaining that Koshien is a national tournament.

I’m really glad that Kiriyama got his number.
You probably thought you would never be able to participate in a competition again.

(The captain still intends to break bones)

After the scene where I can’t go out, you coming into the bench is just a shortened way of saying “break my bones!”

The author is kind to both baseball beginners and economic destruction beginners…

It will be a bone-breaking but ironclad joke.

Gradually, this guy seems to be the most sensible one.

Why does Kobori think that Takeuchi has a desire to break someone’s bones?

I thought it wouldn’t look like that, but it’s quite different…

It was a good episode where everyone was determined in various directions, and even those who seemed like mere background characters were incredibly motivated.

This guy is doing various things, but he’s calculating them.

Kobori seems like he might get caught up in some major behind-the-scenes trouble somewhere.
From the fact that I couldn’t read Takeuchi’s true feelings…

Unconventional strategies are also the result of persistent effort…

I remembered someone asking if cheering from the bench meant anything…
It feels like being in the same club together.

I understand that you’re offering various things, but… bones…

Kobori is ruthless, but the people around him surpass his calculations and expectations, which is just amazing.

Stop using your dominant hand, Bulgaria.

Although it didn’t bear fruit, it’s a comfort to think that my efforts and enthusiasm have become a strength for someone.

…give

Because of wanting to stand out, I ended up being wary of enemies.
As a strategist, Kobori is one step ahead.

Since the inflation period, there have been few sluggish developments that make the storyline tedious, so it’s easy to read.
This time, we united without excessively pushing back against Kobori’s judgment.

Takeuchi-kun’s acting was too good!!

Kobori breaking his bones and not being able to participate in Koshien will further buff his teammates…

The proposal for Kobori’s injury is a story that comes after their participation in Koshien has already been decided, so it makes sense in that context. However, if we turn it around, it means that until their participation in Koshien is confirmed, Kobori must do their best as a player, which makes an injury during the game truly despairing.

Decide where you want to break my dominant arm, Takeuchi-kun.
You have that right.

Don’t underestimate people! Even though I said that, it’s nice to bend because I’m captivated by your determination.

We made a cruel decision!

The small rock here looks scary like Fujiko F. Fujio’s characters.

Waiting another two weeks is tough…

Kobori seems like they might send a LINE message asking if I’ve decided where to break soon, and I don’t like that.

It’s not that I don’t care about what happens after Koshien, right?
That’s why putting in the effort becomes a testament to one’s resolve and sincerity.

It seems like you will become an actor in the future.

“Don’t break my bones!”

If I can’t go to Koshien because of a broken bone, it seems like I won’t get called for the draft either.
It’s better to go to Koshien.

The teacher is really being a teacher.
Well, this guy doesn’t have the ability to decide on the bench.

It’s probably a conversation about determination, but an injury to avoid participating in the match doesn’t have to be a fracture, and it doesn’t have to be to the dominant arm either…

It’s commendable that you’re doing a great job as an educator, teacher.
Sometimes, but only occasionally.

It’s obvious, but Kobori is also attached to Koshien, so I understand how he feels.

If Kobori decides, everyone agrees without complaints, so it’s like we’ve all decided together.

You know, deciding regulars in baseball manga!
Let’s do more matches like the red and white games!!
Isn’t it about the junior protagonist being recognized by a senior and earning a regular spot?
