god i just love this volume. the way chihaya pulled through for her team despite getting hurt was quite tear jerking. it still being clear that mashima still has so much room to grow, and the fact that he bet damn near his whole life on his card being called. nishida finally pulling another win and feeling deserving enough to stand with chihaya in class a. this volume was just an absolutely amazing masterpiece. AND THE FINAL HUG. god im cryin. literally cried with chihaya as she was telling arata that HER team is the best in japan.

This match was so intense, I absolutely loved it. Not the biggest fan of the whole "treating a girl awfully because you secretly love her" trope, but since they're minor characters this should be fine, I guess?
