And here I thought Japan got so progressive, they're finally letting boys wear skirts.

 

[Makinya]

Love gave him wings. Suck on that, Red Bull.

Nice chapter but I gotta say, those shorts are weird. Dude looks like he's wearing a skirt in some of those panels.

Tell me you don't see it

Spoiler

That's just how most sport shorts look

Is there any significance to the 7th place or what

the art's always been nice enough in this manga but that last jump from Shunpei was an especially impressive moment, could really feel him applying himself to it after the morale boost from An lol

thanks for the chapter!

Is there any significance to the 7th place or what

So i dig up the raw footage of Chapter 16, and the original badge at Shunpei's record table is 入賞 (Nyūshō)

SO i ask Gemini. Yeah, not the trustworthy source, but this is kinda like a participation award. While the top three spots (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) are called 入賞者 (Nyūshō-sha), the term Nyūshō generally refers to anyone who placed within the scoring range of a competition. You are not a champion, but your effort will not go in vain; you have been better than most of the field.

In a typical Japanese track and field meet:

• Winners: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place (usually receive medals).
• Nyūshō: Usually the top 6 or top 8 finishers.

Since Shunpei placed 7th, he made the "cut-off" to be officially recognized as a prize-winner in the event records (we can recall the dialogue of Azeno students talking about Shunpei's the chance of making top8, maybe this is cutoff list of this high jump competition).

And yeah honestly, 7th and 8th may not be much different in terms of significance, but (just my opinion) the author wants to create a quite good result for the scene. A happy gift for Shunpei's hard work and An's cheerleading, while not seem like he barely got to the last possible slot for the award.

Yeah, because you want to wear aerodynamic clothes. Most other sports don´t need that. For high jump, clothes like in this chapter are normal

yes, you ran track, did you also high jump, though?

 

[Swifft]

Wow.

i did track and field (really just field)all through my school time and i can assure you, those are pretty standard. i hated how flared they can get they are super thin and it feels like you are wearing a thin curtain

 

[Rrrzl]

Man... I'm so sad that the bus driver is not here to see this peak development!
