Huh, I did predict that Sarama would live back in chapter 9 or so. Good to see I got this one right.

Huh, one learns a new thing every day. This prompted me to check and the truth is a little more nuanced. It turns out that a team can insist on having a libero be the captain - deciding on strategy, holding meetings, doing paperwork, relaying the coach's instructions etc. But only a front-row...

I've said it before, but Gaku is totally gonna be the captain when he's a third-year. In two days, he managed to turn Shou from a curmudgeon who thought of him as a nepobaby into a sworn brother. I frankly don't know how the inter-high and the nationals will play out. Winning the inter-high...

That's Uruya, Teriya's bro-com psycho gangster brother.

He's gonna meet his brother alright.

@jadesillay Did you perhaps skip chapter 9.3, or did you merge it with 9.2 in the English version? I cannot check because 9.3 is paywalled in Japanese.

So now he only needs to make his analysis become instinctive. And Kyougoku's first true smile on the series suggests he's found someone worth mentoring!

So now it's down to who wakes up first? And it's gonna be Harley and Rassha against Hana and Dr Heo? Rassha has no chance against Hana in a frontal attack, and why does Harley think he can mess with Dr Heo after being injected with some weird stuff by him? Or was it a bluff after all?

Why not try P2P video sharing, or just rent outdoors screens in busy crossings of major cities?

Yeah, but this time the news will reach Sumiyama, who won't dismiss it. My point being that the cat will be out of the bag very soon.

An ironic thing about Sumiyama's reasoning is that the perfect match of the numbers of marks and people missing is a coincidence: the Kumada siblings were sent to hell in one go, so they only left one mark; but the police don't know Teriya is missing yet, so his mark makes up for the lack of one...

You know, there's something eerie about Wanan's art for this kind of series. It has this clean cartoonish style but at the same time that makes it rather disturbing when we have a bloody vicious scene out of the blue. In a sense, the way Harley's injuries were drawn on this kind of art felt...

Whoa, whoa, you don't even know whether my taste overlap with yours! So, to be clear: the reason I like The Days of Diamond is the same as I liked The Boxer. They're not really sports manga, they're psychodramas masquerading as sports manga. The sport is completely secondary, it's just a...

Mysterious gap between the last page and the one before it. Other than that, I totally get why Rassha was popular among readers when the series came out in Korea. He's such a crazy balancing act between chaotic evil and chaotic neutral. Also, is Dr Heo keeping Harley on a tight leash by...

@sssr I did consider the possibility that this was a quack transplant. I still think that Japan would have "better quack doctors", since the clients are probably even higher-profile than the examples you gave seeing as they can get a donor of a top advanced country. Then again, I didn't...
