This guy.
Scary
I’m sure they are putting in so much effort for me, who is encouraging unity even after my fracture! It’s really moving.
A man who breaks his bones for his friends.
>>2I’m not lying!
I might have been born in the wrong era.
Is there something more to the recorder’s story, or is it just an avoidance of criticism regarding the rules?
>>5Kobori can get on the bench.
>>6I see!
>>5Since the director can’t give instructions, it’s better to remember.
By breaking an arm, the baseball friend who returned is probably trying to reignite their regretful withdrawal.
Generally, Lieutenant Tsurumi
In other words, it’s a thank-you pitch!
Ah, I thought it meant that I’d say I broke a bone when I participated in Koshien!
Were you really planning to break your bones…? Well, that’s why I stopped you.
“If I can go to Koshien, break my bones!”
Aren’t you gaining nothing in Koobori-kun’s career by withdrawing from the main event?
>>14You want to go to Koshien, even though you don’t have it.
>>23The motivation itself is nothing but pure love for baseball, isn’t it, Kobori?
>>56Still, I easily give up on myself, thinking that I can’t become a professional.
>>59In any field, not just baseball, there is a gap in skill that cannot be overcome by mere grit.
>>56I think that even though their thoughts and actions are a bit off, they really do like baseball and their friends.
>>14First of all, I understand that it’s impossible for me, even at a strong school, let alone turning pro.
I don’t think there’s any meaning in accumulating experience or qualifications; I just purely love baseball and want to go to Koshien.
I wonder if Takeda will bring the players or the manager when he talks to the recorder.
>>15There’s no point in bringing new players and managers here…
>>27But since he says he has no intention of being on the bench and that he won’t break Kobori’s bones, I can only think that someone will be brought in to fill the gap…
If breaking a bone means I can go to Koshien, then I’ll break a bone.
A machine that goes to Koshien.
It sounds like the manager’s footsteps are heavy too.
Casually, we made a cruel decision! Stop putting the blame on the whole group.
>>19In this case, I’m doing it with the intention of motivating everyone, so it’s more effective to make it a collective responsibility…
Aren’t you just aiming to break bones?
The key is to make the other person understand how calm and crazy you are.
You can decide which bones to break! It’s just that I’m too determined to go through with it…
Don’t try to make Takeuchi bend.
It even lets you choose which bones to break.
Stay away from the fracture!
Well, the fact that it’s somewhat out of control probably indicates the limits of wisdom, but the truly terrifying part is not that, and this has been disclosed, so it doesn’t come off as charming at all.
Scary
Kobori’s schemes never seem to go well.
>>30I think it’s designed not to become something unpleasant due to the subtle sweetness of the nails.
>>30Well, from a metatextual perspective in manga, it’s more exciting when a strategy works out to some extent and then an unexpected crisis is cleverly tackled on the spot.
It’s the result of a certain accumulation of trust that makes you seriously believe that this guy is not joking.
It’s really kind of them to explain step by step that “Koshien is the national tournament for high school baseball” for readers who are not familiar with high school baseball.
If it’s a choice between a broken dominant arm and food poisoning, the food poisoning looks a lot better.
>>34But maybe this guy will at least get norovirus.
>>34In this case, they might start storing raw meat at room temperature around the semifinals of the preliminaries…
>>34That said, unlike a fracture, food poisoning tends to heal relatively quickly, so I can’t help but wonder if it’s necessary to take him off the bench…
>>34When you are young, you might think that you will recover quickly, but both can be common causes of death, so it might be better to avoid them…
Surprisingly, there are flaws in the plan, so even as a strategist, they are not a genius.
I will cover the missing parts with the determination to sacrifice my bones!
Kobori, you need to be on the bench, but you don’t have to go on stage…
There is indeed a possibility of getting injured.
Saying with a serious face that food poisoning is… is quite impressive.
Inou looks completely normal compared to this madness.
It doesn’t seem like anything being talked about is acted out at all.
Both Takeuchi-kun and Kobori-kun, of course.
Don’t scare Takeuchi-kun…
Until last week, I thought I was ready to sacrifice others.
This week, I have shown a willingness to sacrifice myself even more.
>>47If you have cards, just use them.
“It’s a rare line to be able to choose the bones.”
I thought it was a peaceful sports manga, unlike the previous work, and let my guard down, but here we are.
>>49If you’re feeling complacent after reading up to this point, then your vigilance is dangerously lacking.
From an objective standpoint, it’s a classic story development.
As long as this guy isn’t trying to do anything on his own initiative.
If the team can go to Koshien, I don’t mind not being a member; I’m prepared for that and I like it.
I think Takeuchi-kun would be better off joining the theater club than the baseball team.
>>52Well, even if I fell short of the bench, it can’t be helped if it’s for the team, and there’s no falsehood or acting in that feeling.
You have the qualities of a religious person.
I just did a little mental training.
To put it in gaming terms, Kobori plays baseball games, but it’s more like simulations or something in that realm.
Winning! Winning! Winning! Whether it’s good or bad to say that it collides with Mr.’s passing is up for debate.
>>60Even during hyperinflation, the hype for Yu-Gi-Oh! was super☆fusion in the week the author passed away, so they might be aiming for that.
>>60I think the passing happened after the drawings were completed, but there’s a possibility that the dialogue was changed just before submission.
The intentions of the pitch-blackness are too decided…
Get away from the fracture!
Time
Effort
Friendship
Conscience
Bone
…
No way!
I will break a bone!
I thought Takeuchi-kun was a sudden third-year student, but during the exchange with Kiriyama, I went “It’s you~~~!!!”
You were doing it, weren’t you, author?!
>>69Not all the main members are shaved, but since the director is like that, it’s not a problem…
In terms of the deal, getting Kobori’s arm broken doesn’t gain anything, so this is quite a devil’s bargain…
>>70The reason I’m saying “break a bone” is just because it’s a quick way to get Takeuchi-kun back to the bench, and it’s not that I’m using breaking a bone as a bargaining chip.
>>86Food poisoning would be fine too.
>>86All you have to do is naturally convince those around you that Kobori is leaving.
But I can’t just use eye drops and pretend to cry on the spot.
I realized that there are still new ways to depict baseball manga…
>>76Since 2000, I feel that there are quite a few genres that depict baseball not as a sport but as a subject of management.
However, this feels even more different than before.
>>89It’s more serious than this, but it’s a high school baseball manga like “Sand’s Glory.”
Even I am just a pawn…
I know that I can’t become a professional.
But I want to go to Koshien.
I think it’s quite a relatable feeling for high school baseball players in reality.
>>80Playing baseball at Koshien is the greatest glory.
If you can make it out of the bench in the regional qualifiers, I promise you will be on the bench at Koshien!
There was a significant barrier to understanding that I wanted to lead them to participate in Koshien…
Compared to this guy, Inou is honestly putting in sincere effort and experiencing the youth of baseball.
Well, if I can go to Koshien by sacrificing a bone, then I would do that, right? I think there are a certain number of high school baseball players across the country who feel that way.
>>83But I can’t be on the bench, you know?
“Someone, break a bone and secure our spot in Koshien…!”
>>93Please, get away from the bones.
>>100Just by sharing our impressions of the latest episode, Takeda-kun is increasing more and more.
>>100Was a muscle strain better?
>>93There probably aren’t any high school baseball players who can become like Kobori…
When you actually want to intentionally break a bone, what is the most gentle way to do it?
>>84Bend your finger with pliers.
>>84Insert the hidden pork bone from my sleeve and strike a pose in the Bukuro style.
When I broke my bone, I was probably thinking more about solidarity and such.
That aside, I guess it’s really a token of apology…
Since the baseball talent is only that of a villager.
If I really break a bone, it would create a sense of guilt for Takemura-kun, who knows the situation, and that would negatively affect the play, so that’s also a bad move…
>>90First of all, as a premise, I think Takeuchi-kun doesn’t go out on the field because he’s not good at it.
Even though this friendship is amazing, they say that the nameless one is out of place.
There’s a real possibility that Kobori-kun could get injured during the district tournament finals, and surprisingly, Takeuchi-kun might have to step in from the bench!
Not as a threat to break bones.
Since I made such a terrible request, I’m just promising to put you back on the bench again.
I wouldn’t be talking about bones if I weren’t asked, thinking you wouldn’t agree.
If you ask the director, they’ll fold it nicely for you…
>>102The director has a real concern for the students, so I don’t think he would go out of his way, no matter how much the students ask for it…
>>102Takeuchi said, “Please take this bone!” and imagining Kobori’s bones with the director was not good.
That’s way too crazy, Kobori!
It’s fine to be free!
To be honest, with such a strategist, I feel like there’s a calculation that if you bring up the story of a fracture, Takeuchi will surely become rational.
>>109The fact that it is not that clever is proven by the miscalculation regarding Kiriyama.
…This author is great at balancing things.
It’s a manga that has participation in Koshien as its goal instead of winning, so this kind of development is also possible.
>>111However… what if the public finds out that the captain of a prefectural high school, making its first appearance at Koshien in the fiercely competitive Kanagawa region, broke a bone and is out of the bench before the main game…?
>>118Donations? Support funds? They seem to be increasing.
If you break a bone, we can reignite our determination to work hard together with Takeuchi for Kobori, who got injured during Koshien.
What’s scary about this guy is that he seems to anticipate that if he breaks a bone, Takeuchi will come to stop him.
That being said, it’s really scary where it feels like I might actually break a bone.
Both the readers and Takeuchi-kun think this guy is seriously crazy to think he can break it…
I couldn’t become a regular player at a strong school.
I have become Kobori.
Whether it’s a calculation or a joke, it’s skillful how it makes you think they might really go for it.
This guy could easily break a bone…
>>123When it comes to growth and victory, I can put pressure on others to no end, but it seems obvious that I also include myself in that category.
If anything, it seems like it would be easier to just accept my own sacrifice without feeling guilty.
He’s a man of strong character.
The villagers show their might.
I wonder if they are considering stopping the bone-breaking.
I truly believe that if I can go to Koshien, I want to switch with the bench.
It seems that from Kobori’s side, there is a desire to establish a sense of closure by at least breaking a bone or two.
>>127The goal of going to Koshien as a team involves making a lot of tough decisions.
It seems that Kobori’s personal interests aren’t really involved…
Even professionals get scared by enthusiastic support, and it seems like they are also considering gaining the public’s favor after participating in Koshien.
If the only reason was to have the ability on the bench, Takemura wouldn’t have been able to argue against it.
Making the situation even more brutal with additional explanations is just too cruel…
>>129Showing your belly properly and sharing it is sincere.
>>129So I will show even more cruelty and gruesomeness with additional bones…
I understand your resolve, so leave me alone from the bones…
>>130Food
Why does a character from a baseball manga think like a character from Attack on Titan?
>>134The world of sports is a cruel world…
Somehow, I’m starting to see you as Lieutenant Tsurumi or someone like that.
When it comes to high school baseball,
It’s a self-fracture, right?
>>137I’ve never seen high school baseball like this…
I’ve seen a kid in elementary school baseball who steps on a nail by himself while wearing Sally’s shoes.
The twist that the bone’s statement was a foreshadowing is something that could happen in this manga.
I have my determination as well, but…
“The resolve to be taken off the bench is frightening, as the fracture is merely a means.”
I’m glad this guy isn’t the top of the country.
>>142No way!!
You need to properly obtain the right to run for office first.
Oh no, my acting was too good!
I remembered hyperinflation.
Until now, it would have ended with “a devil,” but to come after my own bones is something that surpasses a devil.
What I’m betting on is my spot on the bench at Koshien.
Kobori might be playing baseball as an alien, but if you think about it normally, he’s the kind of strategist who was born in the wrong era.
It may sound like it’s from a baseball manga, but it’s a waste to let them play baseball.
>>148Once high school baseball is over, I won’t become a pro and will do other things.
I wonder what they’ll do…
Surprisingly, people often misunderstand emotions, so it’s not bothersome.
>>149I expected Kiriyama to say something like this.
It seems that Inou is like that.
What are you laughing at, you weirdo?
>>152If anything, Takemura is the main reason he couldn’t make it to the bench.
>>149But I heard that it’s not about acting, and I thought, “Huh!?” It gave me chills…
>>149Although they are a character who schemes and plots…
Each character is acting based on their own thoughts, so things don’t always go as expected.
I think this area features weapons from the same author as the previous work.
>>154Everyone is clever in their own way and it’s so interesting! That’s the essence of this manga…
>>154When an author is really smart, their work becomes like this.
If we talk about ability, the chances of being on the bench were 0%, so for Takeuchi-kun, there are practical benefits.
It’s a transaction that I can’t say yes to, even though it exists.
I think Takeuchi should be in the stands at Koshien, showcasing a great performance during the inning interviews.
The only outcome that Kobori desires is to participate in Koshien, but this goal is not an ego; above all, it is fundamentally based on self-sacrifice for the team, creating a delicate balance.
The strategy is harsh, but it often misreads people’s intentions.
But generally, I manage to bring it to a good result.
There’s no need to put me on the bench!
No way! I’m going to break a bone!
Takeuchi’s acting was too good! What should I do! I thought that he was a bit loose on the finer details.
It’s a mystery why Ino is laughing.
If we change, we’ll be further away from Koshien.
It’s a farce with acting, but for what it’s worth, I think Kiriyama is cool because he fights on behalf of Takeuchi too!
>>163The exchanges between Takeuchi and Kiriyama are both serious…
Takeuchi is clearly drawn more handsome compared to the other characters.
In stand interviews, if the cheer squad leader is handsome, the support in Koshien increases, making it easier to win.
I wonder why this work hasn’t been a topic of discussion on the bulletin board until now.
>>165You just didn’t notice.
>>165It has been a hot topic for a while, you know!?
>>165Did you take a break from the bulletin board every other week?
>>165A statement like that of a director.
I was saved! Your acting was amazing! I thought for a moment you were going to say, “You were doing it right after that,” right?
Even though the person says it’s okay.
What’s with not giving up on wanting to get a fracture…?
Going to Koshien…! And then breaking bones…!
I can’t help but wonder what this strange obsession with bones is all about.
It’s also not right to say that it’s fine just because Takeuchi allowed it.
The decision here seems likely to lead to more discussions later on.
Takeuchi is kind.
They say they don’t specify which bones to break…
>>175Leave me alone from the fracture!
Terrifying
But this has brought the team together as one.
This is a decision to take my teammates to Koshien, not just for myself, and this guy is a crazy guy who definitely has a strong conscience.
Yō-chan, it’s impressive that you can stay sane after seeing this.
>>179As long as Sho-chan is safe, he should be in his right mind.
How did Kobori look through the loudspeaker?
>>182Slightly armed villager
I wonder if I’ll break it during practice.
I don’t mean to say it like this, but you have a tremendous talent outside of baseball!
There is a reassuring feeling that the part about the fracture will be nicely resolved.
Minecraft is not baseball, but Eikan Nine is baseball…
“You’re not often told that you can choose which bone to break, are you?”
It’s frustrating that Inou hasn’t touched it.
Become more of a victim of the Kobori Theater.
>>190Because people like Ino and Hirose are smart, they can see through the hidden aspects, so that’s no good.
Since Kiryama and Masao are not very smart, they are welcome because they talk honestly and help make the conversation lively.
Release Takeda-kun, who has learned how to break bones, into Koshien!
But Hiro-chan is amazing for noticing Kobori’s intentions.
Inou will just chuckle because he can tell that Kobori is up to something…
The author is really good at casually adding explanations.
Creating a smooth conversation so that even people with zero knowledge of baseball can understand the basic concepts.
It was not just a matter of being prepared to decline.
It’s scary.
When you go to Koshien, there are elements that can still be collected, and the assembly is skillfully done.
Even if we skip the prefectural tournament to some extent, with the density of this story, it seems quite far from Koshien…
It’s true that changing roles without anyone noticing would be hardest to spot, but…
Ino is surprisingly junior-like, so I like that.
Kobori-kun doesn’t seem out of place at the Junket Bank.
