Because the first thing you should do before training is a drink a coke.

Ayase is a Queen. She saw that her friend has been in shit place for years and proceeded to leverage her rivalry and cola obsession to start her into a healthier life and a chance out of it.
Mad respect, best girl already

This story is so ass.
Of course a 25 year old who hasn't run since they were what? 17? and has been a shutin that whole time is never going to be able to sprint for shit. Pointless. I feel disgusted just looking at that f***ing loser, that slob, that ungrateful waste of potential.
The author could have done an actually interesting conventional sports manga about highschool athletics instead they made this rubbish with a f***ed up premise.
The author should give up on this garbage story and just draw some H, or else work for an author who knows how to write a story.
Do you realise how bad your writing needs to be to make a comic with such nice art difficult to read? literally almost anything would be decent to read when your art is this good. What an idiot.

Run Chihaya! Run for the cola!

 

[detarameMangadex]

Thanks for the chapter :D

I am beginning to think that Chihaya is a cola addict; just a suspicion though. More seriously, I can relate; sometimes, cola really is one of the few good things in your life.

I have said this every chapter thus far, but Ayase truly is a good friend. She goes the extra mile to help Chihaya and is very sensitive about Chihaya's needs. This chapter hints at some reason for her to want to run again too, even though she is a functioning adult. Just a guess, but perhaps she wants to re-establish friendships like the ones she had during track training?

Chihaya realizing that the sky is blue hits hard, when you remember that it has been a while since she last went outside of her own accord during daytime. I am quite fond of this panel: it says so much with so little.

Lastly, perfection.

they're a troll and do nothing but make incendiary comments and generally stir up shit all over this forum for whatever reason.
Just 'Ignore' them and move on. Engaging with them does nothing but ruin your own day.

The premise is interesting, but I think it would hit more, emotionally speaking, if it was less comedy.

Bro, the divorce was 10 years ago. It was your fault.

Chihaya freaks me out, but because I see so much of who I once was in her.

And while I got out of that mindset and that state of nonliving, I really fantasized about just throwing everything away and cutting myself off from everyone I knew. I eventually left my home behind and moved somewhere where no one knew me, but that romanticizing of just shutting myself in and pushing everyone out was a constant.
It's being able to relate to a character in a very deep & intimate way, in all the worst ways possible, and it's like looking at Younger Me and wanting to both say "you can just not answer your phone, just go back to sleep, it's fine" and "get your ass outside because I promise you, it gets better if you can just push through the tears and pain for now". Don't remember the last time I've been this affected by a character or a story premise.

But yeah - Ayase is the best thing that could happen to Chihaya, and I truly hope that she remains as patient as she seems now, and that Chihaya turns the corner on wanting to simply run away before Ayase's patience runs out. The line she dances in being pushy and being considerate and compassionate is one of the harder ones to walk for any person who cares about another who's suffering, and the way Ayase is being written is almost vicariously cathartic to see, in her attempts to reforge her friend.

That all said though - Seeing the sky and remarking on its color was the gut punch of the chapter. I thought it was big when Chihaya suddenly "found" her form again in the simple act of moving her arms, but that "the sky...is blue" hit hard.
Hopefully that makes another step taken.

Thanks for the TL.

I mean, such behavior often reflects internal unhappiness so post still stands.

Not an argument. Looks like you can't refute my truth bombs so need to deflect with childish insults that are themselves "projecting".
Looks like I win kids

Truth bombs. Holy shit my dude, I'm so sorry, I didn't know I was dealing with fucking Mr. Objective Reality.

My point still stands, your misses left you because you're insufferable. She's not coming back, no amount of cope will change that. Have you tried pushing up daisies instead? Do us all a favor and give it a shot.

Only for BAD manga

 

[alfirizkyr]

How did this manga manage to drop the best spreads for a punchline every chapter. Like. That's goddamn art.

Remarking how blue the sky is had no business being such a fucking gut punch. Ouch. Owie.

Thanks for the peak. We still climbin up this hill, folks.
