LThe practice match has been really good. That guy is taking the ball from Haitani and Takami. They need to score goals. Takami tells Haitani that he has a plan.

I didn't expect them to team up this fast, but I guess we can skip the drama as we've already seen the same thing with Sakuragi / Ryukawa and Hinata / Kageyama.
I love this series so far.

i enjoyed this chapter

the double page didn't miss, well done

the 1-2 was a good idea but he was scared for 1 vs 1...
Life's too short for mid anime/manga. Don't like it? Drop it.

KINO! Haitani and Inanaki teaming up to take down this snake that talks like a scene-girl from the mid-2000's is fun as FUCK! That piece where Hatani is all riled up ready to steal the ball, before failing, was superb!

A boring as hell match that is nothing more than a "le typical fast character trope" and I don't think the author really understands football or make it more appealing even if the reader doesn't care about football. The characters are boring/flat and none of them are likable. The author thought that trying to make them look edgy would make readers think they were cool. But in this case it's not at all. They are annoying and insufferable asf. especially that black hair dude with pretty eyebrows.

I gave up on blue lock within the first few chapters because the characters were complete trash that wanted me to ram my fist into their faces one by one. And this series reminded me of it.

If this gets axed I wouldn't be too surprised.

This was an enjoyable chapter. So, in the time between middle and high school Haitani hasn't learned any more about the actual game of soccer. Tatami has great footwork but he lacks finishing skills. These 2 have room to grow and a lot to learn. This match is going to be quite interesting it's time to go snake hunting.

Still feels like Rugby Rumble/Haikyuu mixed to me which is good so far. Haitani feels more like Kinzin (RR) in this chapter with his lack of understanding of the game.

he was cool, Haitani is very surprising and the chemistry between him and Takami starts on a good basis
