I skipped the part where the coaches were talking about furuya.
Blah blah blah i know help ace sama grow right? I get it already. Horrah ace sama. You're the king even when you're injured! Unlike a certain someone who was pretty much abandoned (except by jesu-- i mean chris senpai) when he had the yips because he can get back on his own, yknow? But an injured back that's already certain to recover over time is like hell and needs mental support by the entire team.

Furuya only appeared in a tiny ass box in the last page but I'm like get
Also I see the kanemaru and toujou(?) ship sailing strong. My side babies are finally getting their deserved screen time ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
And I once used to be a sucker for miyuki x sawamura but even when seeing miyuki sitting down and actually not bringing up furuya whenever he talks to sawamura made me feel... nothing. If I have to say something I'd say too late. The wolf boy is coming in between and I've never supported it this much before.

Waaaah! Same here! I was also rooting for the Miyuki x Sawamura battery at first, but Miyuki just keeps treating Sawamura like a second-rate pitcher behind Furuya. Argh! Their setup was super annoying, like, I get it: Furuya is the ace but come on! You made a promise with Eijun, which is why he went to Seidou in the first place.
Jeez, Coach Kataoka and Miyuki get on my nerve!
Tanba: "Whoever is standing on that mound us the ace."
Miyuki & Kataoka: lololol furuya is the ace m8s!
They should honestly stop rubbing the fact in Sawamura's and Kawakami's faces. Not everyone is partial to the tough love approach like Furuya. Gosh.
I segued too far but basically I also prefer other catchers to form a legit battery with Sawamura! Okumura > Ono > Yui > ... > Miyuki. For one, Okumura respects Sawamura's skills and potential so much that he wants to be a member of the first string before catching for Sawamura again. R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Plus, I think that Okumura's 'soothing' quality as a catcher is gonna help Sawamura's tenseness on the mound. hope Okumura gets promoted with Seto to the first string soon ;--;
i can't adopt another child ; - ;
That's what I told myself BUT THEN SHINSUKE CRIED ╥﹏╥
