haha yeah, lot of gilbert balls, but what shocks me is how properly they're drawn, in most mangas there just wouldn't be a brand on the ball to begin with.
I was thinking the same about the prop too, a lean prop is not unseen, but a prop that enjoys running ? not in a 100 years haha. But then, the author did spend a lot of time telling us he was one in a kind, and he does have the average prop IQ, so there is def some realism to it.
him being lean might also mean the author has a particular playstyle in mind for him, so can't wait to see that.
