I hope this manga doesn't normalize the type of bullying and bullshit toxic masculinity all too common in youth sports. Akutsu is a sociopath. Fuck the redemption arc, the coaches should kick him off the team.
but i kinda like this akutsu, even he's a sociopath, he really is a serious and focused guy, unlike that stupid simpleton aoi who thinks everything should be done in a funny way
i get that akutsu is serious about this, but that's excuse to bully others, he's a hypocrite who purposes hurt aoi before, he has no right to shit-talk others when he's being such a petty bitch about this
