Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Vol. 5 Ch. 55 - Anjou-san Wants to Play Catch

[Miros]

@Arx724 is more a thing about lack of confidence and thinking too much about throwing the ball than just being bad at it

"i have to throw this ball right or they will make fun of me"
"i don't want to look like a looser"

 

[Yukiechi]

How does she wear a mitt and throw with those nails...?

 

[Xystus]

Man can we see her panties already? Stop teasing it.

 

[DirkHardpeck]

So where's those backfill chapters you guys promised

 

[deCarabasHJ]

@gronkle I know, I had to learn it myself. That's why I pointed it out

 

[Kefkabot]

I get that he is not comfortable with physical contact. However, the "why me?" is starting to get old. With everything that happened between them, it's hard to take it seriously. Even if he has self confidence issues

 

[NCDTrad]

Blblblblbl so cute.

 

[Buraindo]

you all realize we're getting the bed scenes all the time disguised as regular kinds of panels right? even if we never get to see those, you can just cut out a bunch of her panels and arrange them juuuust right for a full fledged doujin

 

[Aceathon]

For people who want a legitimate reason to be that bad at throwing a baseball: some people never really make the mind->muscle connection that you throw at the TOP of the arc, and they release whatever they're throwing when their arm points in the direction they want to throw it at: which is always perpendicular and straight into the ground.

 

[gronkle]

@deCarabasHJ Solidarity, bro.

 

[jokerxhisoka]

@fluffybunny645 @organiczero no, having low self-esteem is not to this extreme. He is already reaching the levels of metal issue instead of just low self-esteem.

@Arx724

I have no idea what ages "little league" is, but I feel like you could gather up all the high-schoolers in my city and nobody would throw as bad as this dude.

When I was coaching, Little League was 11 - 13 year olds. From experience, I'd even bet against your speculation as I predict you'd find a handfull of high schoolers who would perform equally as bad. Not everyone has the right amount of eye-to-hand coordination to control where they throw a baseball. Even in the MLB you see an occassional wild pitch (unintentionally hitting the batter or so far outside of the batter's box the catcher can't get it).

Man, that Seto needs to work on his throwing... There's 'being bad' at it, and then there's 'I literally can't throw'. I genuinely don't think I've met a dude under the age of 7 at his level. He just needs a little practice, though. Not a big deal, really.
I'm more concerned with how oblivious he is and his lack of self-esteem. I think people who get too irritated by Seto when reading this may see a reflection of themselves through his insecurity. His mindset is certainly something I think everyone can relate to at times. I just think it's a combination of two things that really makes it stand out: First, his level of insecurity and lack of self-esteem is exceedingly high -- we very rarely see him evaluate himself highly, for anything. Second, he's always in juxtaposition to Anjou who, if we're being real, is next level; almost an ideal partner in every way. It's very easy to be bothered when she makes such a genuine attempt to convey her feelings in all ways besides explicitly saying it. Anyone would desire to be put in the same situation as him.
It's funny, too. In my life I've been very 'intimate' just over a dozen girls, but even still, to this day, I think about when I was young and a few of the girls I knew with certainty liked me, and that I really liked, that I was too insecure to approach and make a move on. I think it's pretty normal for anyone.

 

[TanithG]

Glad that Anjou is working on her Seto improvement plan

 

[Starlordon]

So cute!... Just fuck already !

 

[Arx724]

@FredFriendly

You're comparing throwing it at a 60° angle downward at a 5m distance and not throwing it right next to a person at 15-18m (according to google, EU so not too sure about baseball regulations).

 

[liquidsword]

@Happily_Grim You hit the nail on the head with the self confidence part. Never understood why people get so irritated by a fictional character having self confidence issues when it happens in real life all the time, especially when it’s not that easy to improve and/or get over. I have them myself, so maybe that’s why I’m more understanding when it comes to Seto.

 

[MushroomMan674]

Thanks for an actual prompt upload.

 

[lurker123]

its also a matter of starting with the basics. Throw under handed to get a feel for and used to releasing the ball and directing its path. Then move onto an over hand

 

[urtoast]

Lewd joke in there somewhere about Anjou wanting to catch Seto's balls or something.
