It was an alright penultimate episode. I'm glad that Matsutarou has his A-Game ready in sumo wrestling matches since what happened recently.

Well, he is still a bit down and I don't find that surprising. I find the music used during those scenes when he is crying about Reiko to be quite fitting. 1 more episode left :/

Matsutarou's new attitude is cool. He starts to send some money to his family.

He also gave money to them before, didn't he? But yeah, it wasn't regularly like he does now.

Seems like Matsutarou is going on a rampage in the next episode, if you know what I mean xD jk, I actually think that he's gonna get his ass kicked by those tards, le classic plot twist imo.

Just one more episode? Fuuu :/

Another good episode. He didn't just get over his problems, he still has them and is using his sumo wrestling as an escape from it. It's all he has left so he tries to be good at it, as I thought. Very nice.

I'll admit though that it is a little weird that Reiko seems to have legitimate feelings for him... I guess I can understand the longing for a dominant person and all but I didn't see it coming from her character to like that type of man.

Seems it hints at there being more to this story than just this season when Ino-Zeki mentions the higher ups in the Sumo chain... I don't know if it will be able to get another season though. Good episode nonetheless.

Hummm, I wonder if Sumo X and the seniors are the one who were planning to gang up on Matsutarou, so that he doesn't make it to the higher level?


Nice to see Matsutarou being nice this time.

And looks like Reiko really likes Matsutarou after all, too bad Matsutarou doesn't know it yet.

Guys for what I seen, the series doesn't end in the next episode. In Japan they already are in episode 25!
It seems it will end in episode 26! Not 23.

Did the two seaon time skip happen because they're rushing to end it or is it in the manga as well?

I don't know about the manga, but I also felt it was rushed, just like you.

However, I am glad it is over soon.
