Awesome set up chapter. It's really nice to see these moments between the two. The hug was precious, but man Orihara seems to be harboring some potentially unhealthy feelings about this rivalry.

It sucks that there will be a three week break after this, but this is lining up for there to be potentially something really nice on Christmas...

Ch. 140 -> Nov 27th
Ch. 141 -> Dec 11th
Ch. 142 -> Christmas chapter!

Chapter 142 would be a nice number for a confession, eh? That's my prediction for now. Let's go Nanashi, cook up a gourmet meal for us to close out the year.

The wholesomeness is through the roof, and I'm all here for it.

 

[GastrointestinalLot]

Soreayu and Nagatoro both finally reached the final battles

 

[CrazyAceking]

I know the chance is low, but I'm hoping Nagatoro wins this. Would be nice.

 

[ColdEnviousOne]

The author's been dragging this out for so long already. Come on!

That was such a cute hug and wholesome moment :3

 

[Greg_no_Gregory]

Maybe it’s just me, but her witnessing them together twice without them noticing makes it seem like she is a bit of a stalker.

 

[Random_Passer-by]

I see Nagatoro's not the only one having to battle her insecurities…

 

[Maplefield]

Damn... where did I put my insulin again?

 

[ocsibrm]

[HellShade]

i kinda want orihara to pummel nagatoro into the ground

 

[exo_connor]

That embrace might be one of the cutest things I've ever seen oh my god

 

[Stonecoool]

I feel like nagataro will also lose and they both will either keep dragging things out or will just move on to dating finally(which I prefer obviously)

but man Orihara seems to be harboring some potentially unhealthy feelings about this rivalry.

could be jealousy. Orihara sacrificed probably quite a lot of free time and "youth" to get where she is.

but now Nagatoro, after a lengthy break, seems to have trained just a little bit and seems to be already be equal to her AND got a boyfriend AND a large group of friends who support her.
meanwhile Orihara is mostly shown alone. of course her team members congratulate her, give her pats on the back etc. but she is rarely shown in a group of friends.

so my assumption is that Orihara gets herself dragged down psychologically and loses to Nagatoro, after she disolves into a puddle of tears but gets lifted up again by Nagatoro and gets added to the friend group permanently.

Thank you for the chapter!

What is that look in Orihara's eyes? Love for Nagatoro? Has she realized that Nagatoro has something else she loves more than judo and that's why Nagatoro probably won't become a professional? She won't face Nagatoro in the future, which depresses her.
