Major 2nd - Ch. 302 - Nishina's fastball

[MangaDex]

When I read Toshiya’s line of, “I think you have no need for breaking balls”, I thought things like, “Well, of course Toshiya would say that”, “That’s a very Toshiya-like thing to say”, and, “Toshiya, you’re way too Nogoro-pilled. No matter how fast you throw, a pitcher can’t survive with just a fastball in this day and age, that’s an irresponsible path you’re sending Nishina down on”, but he managed to sell me in the end. Well, of course, it’s just a fad after all, you’re right, even if it’s like that, it’s just a fad after all, you’re right. (Tragically it’s unfathomably based of Mitsuda to call the current state of pitching “a fad”. Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point). Doesn’t make it any less of a Toshiya-like thing to say though, lol. I’m not complaining, it’s weird for him to act this in-character in this shitty sequel, so I appreciate small moments like this. Overall, this is the rare once-in-a-while decent chapter (who would've thought this would be the case when focusing on actual men's baseball and other sports shonen manga type stuff). (checks watch) I suppose it's time for another six-month intermission before the next game now? No, rather, wasn't this game an intermission in and of itself? Sigh. I hope Nogoro at least makes an appearance, if the manga focused on his retirement that would be nice (until Mitsuda eventually fucks it up).

And I’m not sure if anyone noticed, but this release is slightly lower quality than usual. I downloaded the magazine from the same place I always do so I’m not sure why that’s the case, but it’s what I’ve got to work on

Also Mitsuda did a good job by quietly invalidating Mutsuko and Chiyo-nee by calling breaking balls a "fad" and validating Nishina by calling fastballs the true best weapon in baseball (I don't read this as shonen manga so I honestly forgot about this obvious shonen manga fact for a moment). I'd say he did a good job setting up Nishina for the future in this chapter too but I know high school arc is not going to happen so why bother lol, he'll probably go back to bullying him soon enough. Also the Sawa on the cover is very eroi. That's all I think

"The Junior High Edition has a big theme of "women's baseball", and to me, the main character is Sakura Mutsuko."
Mutsuko and Chiyo-nee needs breaking balls while Nishina just needs his fastball.
Game kept alive by Daigo a few chapters before this one.
Is bailed by Nishina in the end.

I am really enjoying this women's baseball with Sakura Mutsuko as the MC.

I just want to voice my appreciation for the people who bring this manga to us - because I actually enjoy it. Only I don't like viewing the comments section. I am afraid the team will actually stop updating because of negative feedback.

Honestly, the lower quality scans just enhance the "high standards" of this manga.
