These last few chapters have been really disappointing. To think that the manga is building everything around this last confrontation against Tsujidou and will only last about 1 year...
I was really looking forward to a manga about a catcher, and his struggle as a young boy without any natural talent - someone who needs to work hard and struggle to reach others' level, relying on his baseball iq and tactics rather than his physique.
Let's hope that it's the end of these chapters working around some ""pointless"" drama.
The 2nd season of the anime was really great but it looks like the author is too sick and tired to keep the ambitions and stakes at the same height as Major.
I guess that now, at least, we'll get right back to baseball, with this tournament coming. Looking forward !
Thanks a lot for your work, translating this manga !
