Ordinary people are so frightening…

>>2

Is it that the tsundere behavior is taken at face value, or is it that they are fundamentally innocent…?

What is that hallucination…

I wondered what would happen, but our interests have quite smoothly led us to a confrontation…

This is quite a serious baseball manga…

(Where is the director!?)

>>19

The difference in the range of tactics is entirely different between being able to only get a strike with that pitch and having other types of pitches that can also get a strike.

Kobori and Masumi are scary…

The super slow ball has evolved into a changeup.

Aren’t there more monsters?

Aren’t you basically attacking your allies?

I-I didn’t feel moved by Todoroki’s words or anything!

>>21

Kiriyama not being able to start hasn’t changed anything yet either.

It’s no surprise that Todoroki is amazing, but Masumi is impressive too… I underestimated him, thinking he was just in charge of reactions.

Since it’s a ball that can be easily hit when exposed, the strategizing begins again.

It’s interesting that there isn’t the smartest one who is always predicting everything…

The feeling of being able to set up solid countermeasures right from the chaotic beginning reminds me of hyperinflation.

But being able to throw all the way to home plate is huge.

Kobori’s telepathy-like ability is too terrifying.

>>28

Hyperinflation was probably like that too.

>>28

Manga is always good at its climax!

Wait, are you really going to make us wait a month with this development…?

I was in a state of waiting without swinging, so the change-up worked well and I was able to get a strike.

Perhaps if there was a chance to score, I could have normally hit.

This is where the true value of the change-up is put to the test.

I might have never seen a changeup with such a significant treatment before.

It seems like I’m fighting in what is essentially the strongest part, so it looks like this will turn into a formality match afterwards.

>>35

Please don’t turn into a god in baseball.

>>35

Aren’t you surrounded by darkness and more darkness? Are you okay?

If the director goes wild

Who is going to stop it?

Aren’t there too many characters who grow or awaken in just one match?

Both teams’ catchers are starting to be consumed by madness.

The last page has Tohru becoming like the main character~

Incredible… They’ve succeeded in breaking free from the three-ball limit…

I don’t understand the change-up.

If you don’t snap your straight pitch, is it a change-up?

>>44

It might be faster to watch a video on YouTube than to explain it in writing.

Todoroki and Masumi think they will become teammates after transferring to a new school.

Disposable items are too wasteful.

>>45

In the first place, we can’t do it, but having two catchers would be a waste, right?

>>74

Well, you would want a regular backup just in case the catcher gets injured, right?

Transferring schools under those circumstances is normally impossible according to the rules.

>>87

It may be true in reality, but isn’t it unnecessary in a manga…?

In the first place, there are other positions available.

What is the special edition “Season of Encounters”…?

>>46

How about the meeting between Todoroki and Masumi?

Is that a change-up!?

It felt like there were a ton of pages…

If you want, the next match might be the final for a spot in Koshien!

It has that kind of speed.

I’m worried that maybe Tohru-kun will get hit, but I hope he won’t break.

I thought Kobori was understandably shaken upon realizing that St. Teresa had figured out Kiriyama’s weakness, but this guy is actually excited…

Isn’t this match, even including Koshien, a showdown at the peak despite being just a practice game in the story?

Speaking of which, what’s the difference between a changeup and a slow ball?

>>56

A change-up is when the arm motion is the same as a fastball, but a slower pitch comes instead.

>>56

You can think of it as the same regarding what Kiryuyama threw.

There are various kinds of change-ups, and it can’t be explained in just one sentence.

You probably wouldn’t understand if I said things like high-speed change-up, air bender, or kick change.

I can only throw with full effort for three pitches.

It seems that all future opponents will default to being aware of the situation.

Hey, wait a minute! Change it!

The teacher is not good with dirty jokes, you know!?

>>58

It’s the one being taught, right?

>>58

Is it true that even adults like this have the right to vote?

>>58

Is it really true that even adults like this have human rights?!

If you can get ahead in the count with a changeup, you’re just an ordinary good pitcher.

Isn’t Todoroki’s mental growth amazing?

If Masumi Todoroki joins this team, it will become a team that can win easily, and the story will become flat.

There might start to be conflicts among friends…

>>65

That’s why it’s not allowed by the rules.

>>72

But if it’s Kobori, who is drinking friends with the old guys from the High School Baseball Federation…?

>>72

Since it is not impossible if you exploit the loopholes in the rules, this author might use it.

I think it’s a story that probably doesn’t exist dramatically speaking.

>>94

The loophole in the rules refers to cases where a parent has to transfer due to a job relocation or divorce, but since it’s still within the same district, that wouldn’t be recognized as a reasonable justification.

Is it okay to use this many three-pitch kills!?

I thought so, and then the change-up was mastered; the author is too skilled!

If it’s mixed with a super fast ball, can the skinny ball actually become harder to hit?

>>70

People who use an amazing changeup really have the same arm motion but a difference in speed of about 50 km/h.

First of all, it would probably be impossible due to the rules, but if Masumi Todoroki joins, it would be too much of an overkill in terms of strength…

Masumi can also pitch quietly, so the depth of the pitching staff is amazing.

Stop actively going out to pick fights!

>>127

I laughed a lot.

This time, Sho-chan looks pale all the time.

Aren’t there too many people with Inazuma Eleven brain…?

Amazing! Both the enemy and allies are finished!

>>80

If this is the quality being presented, then there’s nothing that can be done…

There’s also the card where Seirei spreads Kiriyama’s weaknesses to other schools so that we won’t have to face him again in the main battle after this practice match.

It seems like the villagers might turn the school into a deserted one if threatened.

>>81

What’s with the villagers being so overrated…?

I’m just a high school baseball player, you know.

Why is there a special episode at this timing!?

If I can make him hit a fly ball, I feel like with just two more pitches I could find a way to beat him…

But there’s that fork too, so it’s impossible.

Did you suddenly become able to make pitches that induce fly balls?

The more you know about Kiriyama’s full power pitch, the more effective it will be.

Helohelo-bain~

There was some talk in the Major series’ youth arc that changeups are bad for the body… or am I mistaken?

You can do it if you make it a sacred school closure.

If we make it a closed school.

We want to keep it a secret from each other, so we can’t let other teams find out about various things.

The strategist who arranged this practice match is too clever…

I’ve gotten to the point where I can get strikes with my changeup.

Kobori crying hard is scary…

It seems like we might run out of ideas for this practice match, but is that okay?

>>102

This author can make the same material fresh and versatile by using different approaches and variations.

I always think, what is a high-speed changeup?

That’s how it is, I guess.

Kobori is a villager who uses telepathy…

>>104

I’ve mastered a new technique too!

Even though the predictions are off, I’m still excited about it—I’m a true gambler, Kobori.

Don’t use your teammates as a betting target.

I might say, “Why at this timing?” but it would be a shame to cut off any of the recent episodes, so it can’t be helped!

Once you get the counting ball, you’re invincible!

It’s evident that my best friend’s growth in realizing that the monster was actually around stems from how they looked down on others.

>>111

It was a position where no tricks were necessary and not permitted.

>>111

If you run away, you’ll be killed by a sad monster.

Just because Sho-chan is knowledgeable, Yō-chan has always been a hard worker…

It’s a practice match where it doesn’t matter if we lose, but we’re going all out…

>>114

Since it’s a practice match where losing is okay, we can really give it our all.

I was a bit moved by the scene where Kiriyama reunited with the first ball he had remembered.

Reading this manga totally messes with my emotions!

I thought I became invincible by mastering the changeup, but…

If it gets out that there’s only this besides the three balls, it’ll just be a lucky ball.

>>117

If I was bracing for a straightforward approach and even Todoroki couldn’t react, then isn’t it quite usable even if it’s discovered?

Do you know about the brawl!?

What a sense of balance in knowledge you have.

>>118

I just want to do pro wrestling…

Kiriyama is able to read up to 1 or 2 balls with just a bit of observation; even the filthy bandit is smart.

Hey, isn’t Masumi slowly turning into Kobori?

>>120

Did I end up creating this sorrowful monster?!

Since it’s right in the center, if Todoroki changes his mind a bit and comes to attack, it would be an immediate loss, right?

Just because there are three full-force pitches, any number of half-hearted pitches is fine; that’s skillful.

I’m in trouble! What should I do!? While delivering that monologue, the onomatopoeia is exciting. What’s going on with these glasses?

A practice match like the district tournament final.

Straight fork changeup, huh?

If that change comes from the same arm motion, it seems like I could easily build a mountain of ordinary hits.

>>133

It seems like this can be controlled normally this time.

Masumi became a bandit.

In baseball, “yamakuzure” might be a pretty auspicious word.

>>135

Will we eventually become a scattered team…?

>>135

The team that was called bandits is currently tied for last place, but that’s…

>>146

It can’t be that bad for a team that’s only played three games and is in 6th place.

>>159

I’m in 5th place! 5th place!!

Last season, we were in a crushing last place at 6th.

>>166

In the end, it’s tied for 5th place with SoftBank, but it’s actually in last place, isn’t it?

A manga where a protagonist with overly heavy restrictions somehow manages to get by.

I can’t believe it’s like this from the first match, with no comfortable victory and being completely figured out and countered!

Yet, I find it both interesting… and scary…

I think it was a relatively connecting episode, but I was laughing the whole time.

Yeah, it’s interesting.

If you can throw a changeup, it really expands your pitching options.

Don’t put pressure on the pitcher during the first pitch you’re about to take.

It’s more frightening to be around a genius as a person.

What Masumi says makes a lot of sense.

If it were Kobori, he would have been noticed if he had bunted again at Kiryama’s place.

Is this okay? Is it going to turn into a Koshien digest?

>>144

This Manga Koshien is the goal.

>>144

I feel like they might skip important matches where Kiryama doesn’t have a turn, like the first round.

If I were to talk about personal preferences, I would have preferred it if I could only take three pitches to get a strike.

Well, I guess that made it difficult to create a story…

>>147

If it weren’t for the yips, I could actually throw more than three pitches.

The developments are too intense!!!

You were doing boy’s manga, right!!

If the director goes wild in a brawl, there will definitely be casualties!!

If the director goes wild, there’s no one who can stop him…

Ultimately, can you become able to do everything except for giving it your all?

As expected, it wasn’t just three balls all the time… but since Kiriyama is happy, that’s fine.

Kobori has always been a top-class eccentric, and just having this guy around makes things amusing many times.

While Todoroki keeps getting better, the monster…

I feel like I can remember something like Eifas with this.

I love Saint Telemob, who gives a classic tsundere vibe.

I like Todoroki who honestly takes words at face value and gets depressed.

>>160

Love the sorrowful monster too!

It may be a story about Kiriyama-kun reclaiming his youth through baseball.

What was that auditory hallucination…?

>>162

Pressure

I think it’s possible that the prefectural tournament will be a digest of everything except the finals.

Being suddenly made to laugh by a single-page comic reminds me of the previous work’s “The Expert Who Knows About Boys” episode!

It’s like watching a raw movie; don’t shed tears over your own experimental results.

I’m excited!

A brawl, huh?!

A sorrowful monster and terrifying hallucinations…

The opposing team is also growing tremendously…

Well, it is the correct form as a practice match.

I also like the other team’s manager.

There’s no way such an amazing development could continue for three or four matches! And the anxiety that comes with it.

If I keep reading this kind of development for three or four games, I’m worried it will be so interesting that I’ll lose my mind!

Today’s full effort.

Only 2 balls left!!

No, it’s not that I’m glad for Kobori-kun… I mean, I am glad, but… I really wonder if it’s okay to just leave this guy unattended…

Isn’t it really fine to just do all sacrifice bunts?

>>182

If it were the main event.

This is a practice match, so I want to see my Thunder defeat Kiriyama.

It would have been better if Mr. Agawa had been assigned as an advisor for the judo club or something like that.

>>183

In the judo club, we can’t have brawls…

>>189

The baseball club is no good too!

Don’t decide on the plan without consulting your seniors.

Masumi is awakening…

What’s with the darkness in both our teams?

I learned the rule from “Dokaben” about interference in batting, but it turned out that a player can get on base even if the catcher is being attacked.

>>188

It’s not that the catcher is being attacked; it’s that the catcher is interfering with the batter’s swing.

If this is allowed, I can push the mitt forward and prevent the opponent’s swing from hitting the ball.

The goal in the story is not to win the Koshien, but to participate, so it feels like they are using the material at a fast pace.

If we were planning to really go all out at Koshien, we would probably run out of ideas.

Deciding on a strategy without consulting the director… well, I guess it’s fine.

This manga is really interesting as a baseball manga, isn’t it?

The author is too good at establishing characters that make it easy to accept that everyone is smart in different ways, leading to instances of outsmarting each other.

The fact that Tohru is a genius is something that not only his allies but also all his enemies believe!

A director who is all fired up for a brawl is useless…

These glasses are the scariest in so many ways…

In the sense that darkness manipulates the baseball players of light, they might be similar teams…

>>198

Is being manipulated really light? Both?

It seems like the genius might start listening to instructions, and the other party is growing.

It was the same with hyperinflation, but the true essence is revealed once everything is laid bare…

If I had to classify it, I would say it’s in the One-Nuts category.

It felt like Todoroki had been twisted from the very beginning.

A captain like Gresham on our side and a sad monster like Lejatto was born on the enemy side…
