Decent chapter just because Shigeno Goro's useless son was out for once in his stupid baka midget life.
People were saying that the sudden shift in Kawaeda's image from strong school that they could lose to-->to easily scoring runs against them was due to Mitsuda losing motivation/being bored, but it's just that his constant, insatiable desire to glaze Fuurin-Oobi leaves him completely unable to write rivals, so the Hanamuras being weaklings is expected. And he’s been out of motivation for a while now, anyway, it’s not something that just popped up in this game. When Kaito got replaced so quickly, I thought for a moment, hm, maybe it's true, maybe he really is getting bored. Well, he's still in the game, so he could come in again to pitch, but that would be sort of convoluted-->the page immediately after. See, I told you (even though it's convoluted). Hm, Mitsuda's expression game has gotten really weak with the years, but also the contrast between papa Hanamura's strong inner words and his calm demeanor on the outside is kind of funny. Who gaf about the magic ball
