@Shironasu I think it's too early to call it, but I sincerely hope it's not getting axed, this is the sports manga I needed

Very fun character development handled in this chapter, love that the team is already more or less on board with Haitani and not acting all superior to him. Glad we're immediately diving into the meat and potatoes of battling other teams and such too.

It's definitely losing the charm that it had with its first few chapters. The addition of the new characters did not add anything. I would prefer to see him practicing the skills he is weak at rather than studying, practicing is what is going to help him become better. We even see this at the end with him getting their formation incorrect. I wonder if he will regress a little bit in this match. He needs to learn to dribble, pass, and trap the ball.

@Shironasu

I mean timeskip was made to show that Haitani after that secrete training is even more stupid, 4-4-3 formation is impossible in football (soccer), goalkeeper is not counted during formations so this formation would require 12 players not 11 on the field.
Manga recommendation:
- Spy x Family (Ch.128/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.249/? - weekly)
- MARRIAGETOXIN (Ch.156/? - weekly) | MAD (Ch.43/? - biweekly)
- Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ch.110/? - biweekly)
- Monochrome Days (Ch.37/? - biweekly)
Anime recommendation:
- Deca-Dence (Finished) | Wave, Listen to Me! (Finished)
- If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished)
- Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished)

This chapter is actually pretty bad and it seems like the author can't do anything to save it.

Just when I thought this was going to start getting good, they jump ahead again. Have to see the volume sales, obviously, but I seriously doubt this goes for much longer.

Really good to see that they've got good humor in their lockers as well.

Chapter doesn't read well at all. Agree with other comments that this is the chapter where it feels like the writing is on the wall with the upcoming axe really.

A shame as I would've loved a new banger hit from a Soccer/Jump series. & This series had potential. But it looks like the series I'm looking for won't be Embers.
