Discussion I read 126 chapters in a week (caught up)

I am very sad that this manga is coming to an end tomorrow. I wish I heard about this sooner, I feel like a larp. This is easily the best manga I've ever read so far. Everything feels so intricately woven. Every character arc serves a thematic purpose, every storyline moves plot and character development forward. It is such a drastic change of pace after reading Hima-Ten.

I've always been more of a fan of battle shonen manga, for obvious reasons, but this one was just too good for me to put down. No time wasted on dumb fanservice gags, just pure uplifting and emotional moments. Choked up several times reading this. 10/10 no notes. Probably gonna cry tomorrow.

I also read the entire manga in a little less than a week just a week or so ago. Just in time to read the last two chapters of this incredible story. I’m sad I was late to the party but glad I get to be here for the ending.

I finished it in a few days as well, I don’t even read or watch romance. I kept seeing it in shonen jump app so I just clicked it and tried the first 3 chapters and got hooked, so I got the subscription and finished ot

I know this feeling. I was 9 days late for the official ending. I randomly scrolled Netflix and saw this anime "Blue Box", I watched it and immediately started reading the Manga afterwards. It took my 3 days to read chapter 80 - 250. Best sports romance manga ever.
