Personally I found An speech a bit hard to understand at times, how is her Japanese in the original scans ?
In regards to the chapter, man she is such a sweet girl, I wish I had a friend like her to help me get out of a ditch those days were one feels like shit
I fucking love how this chapter is like the stereotypical shonen trope of the MC's group storming the villains' lair and each one of the MC allies stops to fight a different underling
I love Kirishima malicious smile as soon as the other one started bullshitting

I swear this whole plotline should have been solved at the beginning of the manga because it's a dumb premise to begin with. Come to think of it, I feel not even the mangaka liked that plot thread, given how much flirting and the like these two MCs have done in public.
It would make more sense...

Ngl as far as stories where "Cute female boxer road to pro" go, I am way more invested in Maho's than I am on Saotome because for her boxing always felt secondary to her romance with her bf and just in later chapters with the introduction of the police officer did boxing actually become a more...
