In a way, the ending never had to be more than this. The manga was never one continuous story with one consistent goal at the end - it was a bunch of situations, which differed each time to offer a new aspect of ethics, and the ending showed that it will continue this cycle.

you mean to tell me mr 'dominate future Bundesliga and J-League MVP' decides to become a teacher instead of going pro?

crazy-ass time skip. they should've at least let us see his first win coming back after the loss 😭

So so shocked to hear the manga is ending after the Barca match. As an avid football lover, this manga has been the best imo to portray the game and I'm glad I got to read this. At the same time, I feel there is so much more to explore with Aoi's story. The fact we don't even get to see him make...

great manga and a good ending, but I hate hate hate how Mario is just wandering alone in the end. I know he's happy and satisfied, but was it so hard for him to end up with Setsuko or even Ririko?

honestly, I'm happy to see I wasn't the only one hella confused for a lot of this manga. The plot was somewhat followable however certain characters were very ambiguous and at some points, I really couldn't tell what side they were on. I enjoyed this manga at times, but it will definitely test...

wanted more of an anti-hero, but the mc is really just a straight up villain. also a bit repetitive, but take that with a pinch of salt as I dropped it very early on.

It's such a unique perspective from a sports manga similar to 'The Boxer' where the MC is actually too talented to a fault. Unlike most mangas where the mc has developments and arcs to improve, the MC is, from the very start, quite literally the best pitcher in the world for his age. This allows...

a lot more layered than I thought it would be in terms of the story with it talking about philosophy and ethics. very enjoyable read, but it's glaringly obvious the manhwa was stopped mid-way for some reason.

final chapter???

huh?

this manga will never gaslight me into thinking she ever loved him. saw an opportunity to be an actress and dropped my boy like nothing.

I especially like this manga a lot even compared to some of the best sports mangas/anime (Blue Lock, Diamond No Ace, Haikyuu etc) due to one niche detail - the story and teams are not based in a school. Ao Ashi actually focuses on actual professional teams and their youth academy and does so in...

Satisfying sequel to Crows. I think I understood what the author were going for this time with the focus being around the actual warfare and relationships between groups other than Suzuran, however it did slightly annoy me how little Hana was actually in the manga. Think his own story and rise...
