[Strikeout Pitch] Takeuchi-kun… that’s not going to work.

Otaku Review Image

But, you know, Takeuchi-kun… that’s not good enough.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)19:53

The mind evolves more and more…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:07Yeahx6

>>1Fluffy and floating.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)19:54Yeahx12

Kobori Theater…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)19:55Yeahx27

Takeuchi’s acting skills are amazing…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)19:55Yeahx1

I saw a strategist doing this kind of trick!

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:00Yeahx10

Isn’t this manga’s Kobori the one with the worst personality?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:04Yeahx4

>>5Because I have to be cruel.
It’s originally the director’s job.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:17

>>6So let’s assign numbers in order of strength…

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:04Yeahx2

In the end, Kobori is just a hardworking villager.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:05

Will Takeuchi-kun be able to get paid for this later?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:19

>>8If it’s something Kobori has decided!

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:05Yeahx15

It’s nice to see that Professor Ajawa is trying to take responsibility.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:20Yeahx2

>>9I’m scared of Kobori, who might have read up to the part where he said, “Since it’s what you, whom I respect, have decided, I’ll honestly follow it!”

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:36Yeahx3

>>9I was subtly taking some curry as well.
The sense of security as an adult is amazing.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:08Yeahx3

If the villagers want to become professionals, they need to do at least this much.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:09

Not knowing the aim is really scary.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:18Yeahx20

>>12You, who were chosen for the starting lineup that Takeuchi-kun wanted so desperately that he cried, are…
Aren’t you putting pressure on yourself to try your hardest as if it’s a matter of life and death?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:10Yeahx5

Kobori is just doing everything he can to the best of his ability.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:10Yeahx1

The jersey number may change when it comes to Koshien.
Taking this regret as nourishment, Takeuchi-kun, who has rapidly grown, may also win a uniform.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:10Yeahx8

I was unable to focus because Senpai Takeuchi was talking about something uninteresting in great detail.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:13Yeahx9

You’re properly mourning and struggling, aren’t you?
It’s just about making use of the current situation that can be utilized.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:13

With this, Sho-chan will become even stronger.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:27

>>17The relief is almost zero, so we need to do our best…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:17Yeahx8

Once it’s decided that Inou-kun will join, it’s certain there will be disputes, so I’ll use it for team-building…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:19Yeahx7

Maybe Takemura-kun will have his turn a few times in the cheering section.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:20

>>22Aren’t you the record keeper (manager) on the bench?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:20

What’s scary is that it’s not a lie that I was troubled right up until the moment before.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:20Yeahx6

You can say that I decided it, you know?
It’s really admirable, but no one thinks that they can properly decide on a member…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:20Yeahx6

It’s nice to see Kiryama seemingly feeling the weight of his jersey number.
Thank you, Takeuchi-kun.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:20Yeahx7

It’s too funny that a named player has been left out of the bench after such a long time.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:21Yeahx1

I hope Ino can sense my intentions and tremble in fear.
I wonder if that guy would laugh.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:21Yeahx4

People do have feelings, you know…
If you’re going to do it, do it to the fullest extent.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:21Yeahx1

If ranked by combat power, Kiriyama would be number one, and it seems like a big commotion would occur.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:23

>>31Don’t destroy Shou-chan’s mental state that has just improved a little.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:22

The glasses are strict while the director is lenient!

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:22

Takeuchi-kun will join the drama club.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:22Yeahx6

It’s not surprising to be angry, but I’m just pretending to cry enthusiastically.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:23Yeahx2

It’s scary that Takemura-kun is not angry about this story and just goes along with it.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:24Yeahx8

>>35If it’s what Kobori says…!

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:24

I hope it ends with saying that Takeuchi-kun is a good guy…
But this manga might be difficult…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:24Yeahx16

This time, I’m hiding behind the teacher, Kobori, and Takeuchi-kun, but Yo-chan is really disgusting…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:28Yeahx11

>>39But…
I get carried away easily.
Masaru is also… good.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:24

It’s scary because I don’t understand Kobori’s purpose just this time…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:25Yeahx2

I didn’t know that the jersey number was related to the position.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:26Yeahx2

>>41It doesn’t really matter for a pro.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:29

>>41In the commentary of Power Pro, saying something like 643 double play…
It means that the ball was passed in the order of short, second, and first.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:48

>>41Since I’m a beginner, I understand that the infield positions are numbered 3-4-5 for first base, second base, and third base, but why are the outfield positions numbered 7-8-9 as right, center, and left in the same counterclockwise direction?!? Why are the outfield positions numbered clockwise only?!? It’s confusing!

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:25

How many times has Kobori been through life?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:25Yeahx5

Small
Hori
Play
Place
But
Start
ma
ru

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:26

What does it mean for you, Takeuchi-kun, to become an actor in the Saratto Kobori Theater?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:26Yeahx13

If I were secretly asked to put on a performance for some grand plan, I would honestly be excited…

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:27Yeahx3

Not only can they make harsh judgments, but they also have the trust of others, so the team does not fall apart.
It’s not the way of life for a villager.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:28Yeahx7

It’s a talent to start with “Wahhh, I’m told to cry!”

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:28

Is it Takeuchi-kun the saint?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:29Yeahx1

I suspect the evaluation of the armed villagers by Todoroki might be a blind spot.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:30Yeahx10

>>52I think the armament is right.
The fighting style is like the Viet Cong.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:30Yeahx2

>>52Todoroki can basically only see through things related to sports.
Look at that Minecraft guy.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:30Yeahx5

While my eyes are captivated by Kobori’s cruelty,
I genuinely think it’s amazing that you maintain your practices without missing a single one, are the first to arrive for maintenance, and stay the latest.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:31Yeahx11

>>55This is the Kobori Theatre made possible by this, right?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:32Yeahx5

>>55If you can say this, doesn’t it mean that Takeuchi-kun also comes in second earliest every day and leaves second latest?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:36Yeahx1

>>64You’re trying so hard, yet still not improving…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37

>>77Don’t get a double kill on Kobori and Takeuchi-kun with a single bullet!!

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:31Yeahx5

Takeuchi readily accepts dropping to regular status and goes along with the acting; he’s just too nice…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:34

>>57Although I dropped from the bench members, it seems like there will still be various opportunities to appear, which is concerning.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:35Yeahx2

>>57But I’m a high school boy, you know?
If there were some amazing strategy that only I was taught and it could help everyone, I would probably get excited and perform enthusiastically.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:31Yeahx5

It’s definitely true that glasses are not much of a threat for a baseball player.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:32

It’s to win the championship at Koshien!

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:32

I think Takeuchi-kun has more talent for theater and things like that than for baseball.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:32Yeahx5

I became sad when I thought about why Takeuchi-kun knows that Kobori comes first every morning.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:32

I want to go to Koshien even though I can’t become a professional.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:34

>>63The college baseball club is said to favor those who have appeared in Koshien, so isn’t it something many want to achieve?

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:38Yeahx1

>>63Even if you’re not a professional, there are things like wanting to win a competition in your classes or wanting to win a game tournament, right?
Kobori simply loves baseball.
In addition, participating in Koshien can also serve as an advantageous ticket factor in job interviews and job hunting.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:33

What’s up with Yo-chan’s hairstyle…?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:34

Inoue is not in the starting lineup.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39

>>66That guy is specialized in one area.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:34Yeahx7

Even if there are players better than Kobori, no one doubts or disagrees that Kobori is the captain…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:34Yeahx2

It’s hilarious that it makes me say “not impressive” twice in the same panel.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:35Yeahx6

I’ve come to like Senior Takeuchi, who has been understanding and cooperative from start to finish.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:35Yeahx2

Senpai Takeuchi may engage in various forms of behind-the-scenes work moving forward.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:36

>>73If I become like Kobori’s right-hand man, it seems like I’ll have more chances to appear in the manga than being the 20th regular out of 20.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:35Yeahx1

I don’t understand the aim! The person who keeps saying that.
I guess it was someone who expected Kobori to remove themselves.
They are still not used to this manga.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37

>>74So, do you have any predictions for the next episode?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37Yeahx1

>>74I think of myself as smart for stepping back and looking at things from a broader perspective without making assumptions.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:36Yeahx3

Even though Mr. Agawa shows adults so properly like that…
Kobori-kun is trying to become a filthy adult.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:36Yeahx6

I’m performing energetically, but I still think I’m properly sad during the act as well.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37Yeahx1

>>76I’ve been working hard for three years, and this year is amazing! I might get to play at Koshien!! But that was right in front of me and then it was taken away.
There’s no way I wouldn’t be sad.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:43

>>76He was treated like Tsukishiro in Golden Kamuy.
I feel like those places are the same too.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:36Yeahx5

Despite being said to be unremarkable, my junior still wishes for me to be on the bench.
I guess Takeda-kun is a good senior in aspects other than just being serious.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:36Yeahx6

Today alone, I saw several people mistaking Mr. Ajawa for the 4th in the batting order.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37

Are you not going to become an actor after graduating, Takeuchi-kun?

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37

If genius doesn’t see through Kobori’s true nature, they’ll lose again.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37Yeahx2

So, what number is the director?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:38Yeahx1

>>85In high school baseball, coaches do not have jersey numbers.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39

>>96No way~~~!!

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:43Yeahx2

>>103Some kind of strong and big guy.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37

It’s scary that this outrageous operation is still just a prelude for the theater…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37Yeahx3

They were a person worthy of having the right to vote.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37Yeahx1

I’m glad this talent is being used for nothing other than baseball.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37

In team sports, there are those who say, “I’ll do anything for the team!”
Even without a uniform number, there are definitely those who can push others from behind.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:37

Even though Takeuchi-kun agrees, there might be times when it’s tough if he doesn’t raise his spirits.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:38

This is not within the scope of the director’s job.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:38Yeahx2

Kiryama, who understands Takeuchi-kun’s feelings better than anyone else,
It’s really sad to think that he would be like that if I didn’t come…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39Yeahx4

>>95I feel like this is also within Kobori’s grasp.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

>>106It’s about cornering Kiryama and Inou to aim for a power-up, right?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:41

>>110Everyone on the team is motivated by this.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

>>106In other words, that’s why I’m making Takeuchi-kun perform a little play.
Aiming for a positive influence on determination and motivation, including others besides Kiriyama.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:38

There are many interesting mangas about daily life other than baseball.
A manga that is interesting outside of the baseball games is quite rare.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:38

In short, it’s either a motivator or Takeuchi-kun.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39

However, there are many members in the school’s baseball club in this Reiwa period…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39

I can think of some targets within the realm of my imagination, but…
There is an expectation that this devil may carry double or triple intentions.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39

I see… I guess it won’t work out, huh? But that’s okay! If it’s something Kobori decided, then…
That part really hit me.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

>>102But you see… being ordinary isn’t enough…

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

>>102That’s not good enough.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39

Senior Takeuchi who sees Kobori coming early and staying late more than anyone else…

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:39

This manga is too good at earning character likability, even with few appearances.
I hope the former baseball club captain who was hunted down will make a reappearance.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

Why does Mr. Agawa act like a proper adult in front of Kobori?
Isn’t it usually the other way around?!

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

I wonder who would believe that it was decided by Mr. Agawa’s jersey number…
It’s about the level of Kiryama and Masao-chan.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

Yo-chan is a safe leisure person, so it’s good.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40

Kobori is aiming to become a professional, just so you know.
It’s at a level where I’ll do it if I can.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:40Yeahx3

I believe that the author, who successfully depicted a triple win ending during hyperinflation, will somehow manage to do it again this time.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:41

I don’t know what’s happening now, but wasn’t it possible to exchange in the region, prefecture, Kanto, and nationwide?
Was that from middle school?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:41

I like age-gap relationships, but Ms. Agawa is too proper.
I decided that I wouldn’t have a romantic relationship with a student.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:41

The shorts seem obviously mob-like, but is that okay?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:41Yeahx1

>>120If we’re talking purely about appearances, Kobori looks like a background character too.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:41

It’s important to not only disperse the hate directed at Inou but also to ensure that Kiriyama doesn’t feel any unnecessary burden.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:41

The teacher is really a good teacher, but if they announce the starting lineup, it would be obvious that Kobori thought of it immediately.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44Yeahx3

>>123In case of an emergency, it’s just a matter of me taking full responsibility, right?

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:46Yeahx6

>>134Seeing the student in pain
Just telling me to rely on the teacher.
An incredibly good teacher.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:42Yeahx4

When Dr. Ajawa shows an understanding of such subtleties,
I feel a sense of assurance that the teacher is not just someone who is simply interesting.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:42Yeahx2

If you’ve been reading from volume one, the part where he says, “There’s no way I’m drinking with other high school coaches! It’s a soft drink!” is really funny.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:42Yeahx1

Actually, I didn’t really understand 643 until now…

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:43

I just learned that jersey numbers are basically determined by position.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:45Yeahx1

>>128Reading this manga often makes me realize that I can’t laugh at Mr. Agawa.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:45

>>128It’s not surprising that people may not know about professional baseball and the majors, which are more likely to be featured in the news, as they are not constrained by positions like high school baseball is.
Mr. Ajawa for that explanation.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:43

The ones who play shortstop are often the best fielders.
Even if it seems like a mob, I think that area is quite solid.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:43Yeahx3

If you overschedule, Mr. Agawa is an incredibly good teacher.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44

In Koshien, the bench capacity increases.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44

>>132Ah… I see.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44Yeahx1

>>132Shirason

152: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:48

>>132I want to encourage Takeuchi-kun to sit on the bench, right?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44

This guy isn’t exceptionally smart or exceptionally good at baseball.
A villager with the ability to make ruthless judgments and a high skill in manipulating people’s hearts and communication.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44Yeahx1

There are probably many people in this thread with knowledge at the level of Director Ajawa, so it would be just right to explain it carefully.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:45

>>135I understand the rough rules and batting order, but I have no idea about the meaning of jersey numbers at all…

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44

Kobori will definitely become a big shot in the future, so it’s definitely not a mistake to get close to him now.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:44

I have the feeling that the series has been continuing for quite a while, but isn’t it strange that they’ve only had one practice match so far?

144: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:45

>>138In this manga, there’s no change of generations, so it doesn’t bother me particularly.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:46

>>138At this point, just playing the match makes it a top-notch sports manga.
It’s said that the manga that hasn’t been done smells of cancellation.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:49Yeahx2

>>147No, it’s not that I’m dissatisfied, but it’s surprising that it feels like things are advancing so much and yet there’s still this much left!? I’m sorry for being unclear.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:45Yeahx1

The advisor who has no knowledge of baseball may not be able to decide on positions, but they should be able to decide whether to put a lackluster third-year student or a first-year student playing Minecraft on the bench.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:46

When the ball is thrown from short to light, does it become erotic…?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:46Yeahx2

>>146First of all, that kind of scene doesn’t exist!

149: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:47

At first, there were predictions that Kobori would exclude himself.
In the Holy Telé battle, there’s narration, but it’s quietly active, and it’s not like the gameplay is bad at all.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:47

I really think it’s impressive how the theme of “the strongest pitcher who can only throw three pitches” is so captivating even for someone who has almost no knowledge of baseball.
“No reader would think, ‘There’s no way someone can be a pitcher if they can only throw three pitches!'”

153: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:48

>>150So then, pretending to be the strongest for just one at-bat, “Three pitches? One pitch is enough.” That’s thrilling!

151: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:48

The local bench had 20 players at Koshien two years ago, and before that, it should have been 18 players…

155: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:49

The strongest pitcher who can only throw three pitches
The serious man who feels guilty about being in the starting lineup even though he can only throw three pitches, that’s the storyline the author delved into, right?

157: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:49

It’s rare for a strategist character not to be an intellectual character.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:49

In this manga, they explicitly state that if they’re aiming for Koshien, it’s only this year.
Just remembering a few names of the ones currently appearing and those expected to appear in the future will be enough to keep up with the conversation.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:50

If we’re going to Koshien, we’ll probably come up with an additional warrior slot.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:50Yeahx2

That teacher, even though he doesn’t know anything about baseball, starts to show concern just because he heard that the third-year students might fail.
It’s not about whether it gets found out or not; I like how adults can ultimately answer that they should take on this responsibility purely.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52Yeahx2

>>160You know that I fully understand that you’ll be caught saying that, right?

161: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:50

It seems like the teacher’s uniform has the number casually added.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:51

>>161It’s number 375 (Minako)…

173: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52

>>164The one that the team mascot does.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:50Yeahx1

It’s great how Masachan is the first to worry about Takeuchi-kun…

170: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52

>>162Yo-chan’s response

175: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52

>>170Kobori said that it’s Masaru who is kind to his friends.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:51

Even though Taketuchi-kun is a mob character, he’s so handsome that he seems likely to be popular.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:51

The author’s skill in incorporating a story that is difficult to read each time, while ensuring that readers without knowledge of baseball can properly understand it, is truly impressive.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52Yeahx1

>>165I was able to utilize my experience of drawing a comic that made the majority of readers, who have no experience with counterfeiting, understand currency counterfeiting…

179: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:53

>>174Don’t write as if there are only a few readers with experience in forgery.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:51

When I was in youth baseball, the coaches and managers were in their late 20s to 30s, but was that only in youth baseball?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:51Yeahx1

There are predecessors who have tested various ideas in baseball manga.
The subject where the author’s seasoning is questioned on where to bring out freshness.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:54

>>167It’s surprising to see that even after reading baseball manga from the last 20 years, there are still so many things that can be depicted.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52

I think it’s tough to develop the characters of the starting nine in a baseball manga from the beginning.
Well, if it’s this author, it should be fine… so I’m reading it.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52Yeahx4

Hirose’s discomfort is leaking to Inou…

172: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52

By making Kiriyama cry, are you cutting off his escape route?

176: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52

It’s about whether to include this in the bench, so there’s absolutely no way to exclude Kobori…
Well, there might be some treatment like a manager.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:52

I think it’s interesting to quickly switch scenes and only show the necessary parts before moving on to the next.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:53Yeahx2

It feels good that this author is properly teaching, even though their perspective and conversations are just strange.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:54

I can’t think of any other baseball manga that depicts the order of jersey numbers.
At third base, I was saying something like “There’s no way the number 3 would be at third base.”

181: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:54

I think there might not be any members who feel resentment towards Kiriyama, not just because he is strong but also because he is sincere.
Sho-chan is fueled by a competitive spirit, but it’s healthy.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:55

>>181I wonder if Sho-chan is the one who hasn’t formed the strongest friendship with Kiriyama.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:59

>>186We had a showdown in Struck Out and ate curry together, so our friendship is definitely strong, right?
I trust Kiriyama with Todoroki because I have faith in his abilities.
It’s just a matter of whether my possessiveness over Yo-chan exceeds that.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:54Yeahx2

Since Kiriyama came, I’ve just been pressing the accelerator, and the third-year students have already been with Kobori for two years.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:54

Is it true that coaches don’t have jersey numbers!? I googled it and found out it’s really true…
Shiraso…

185: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:55

The unity and inspiration of all team members.
Perhaps it’s to make the somewhat superficial Inou a serious player.
Is it an unimaginable and sinister plot?
I can’t read it at all.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:55

Why is it interesting that they distribute the assigned jersey numbers in this manga?

188: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:56

In “Ookiku Furikabutte,” there was a story about a second-year pitcher with the number 10 from the opposing high school, but they were saying that he is essentially the ace.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:57

>>188It’s quite common in baseball manga that the player with the higher jersey number…

189: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:56Yeahx1

Even though Mr. Agawa is a drinker, he doesn’t drink in front of his students and can take responsibility when necessary. Isn’t he a really great teacher?

190: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:57

I was there.

New club members!? And they’re third years!? Buzz buzz.

New club members!? And they're third years!? Buzz buzz.I was there.

It’s not decided that he’s a bad guy yet—hey, Inou!! Why are you on the bench!? Are you planning to play in the match!? Did you get proper permission from Captain Kobori? This guy is up to something!!

I was there.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:57

Most baseball manga are written under the assumption that readers have some knowledge of baseball, so it’s refreshing to see a baseball manga that includes explanations and details even for readers with zero knowledge.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:58

>>191It’s probably the only sport that is fairly understandable without any explanation at all.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:57

The show “Champions” from back in the day had a lot of detailed explanations.
A sacrifice fly does not affect the batting average.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:58

Kirishima, Sei-chan, and the other members are united by Takeda’s tears, which have boosted their morale.
Inno will later secretly say, “Wow, Kobori-senpai, that was an impressive script.”

195: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:58

It’s common to have a backup main event, right?

198: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)20:59

It’s nice to see this mob stop being a mob.
