She's been hinted at and talked about for such a long time, this hardly counts as a random introduction. Anyway, that last panel was very cutely drawn, great body language.
A manga about kabbadi, now I've seen everything. It's such a bizarre sport so I guess it lends itself perfectly well to manga. Incredibly strange though.
You can practically taste the setup for Rihito to contribute in a big way toward the climax.
Also really love that the manga isn't shy about just slapping character names next to them in every chapter, especially with the new ones.
I mean, I guess this is at least a somewhat reasonable explanation for Eita's motivation, even if it is pretty dumb and completely out of nowhere yet again.
Now Hakamada is being internally inconsistent too. You'd think with this sort of dream he'd have prioritized working with Bungo in the first place instead of working hard with Eita first.
