Finally parts that do not overlap the original story.

finally something 100% new! i'm glad we're starting to see things we didn't know before.

kunigami and chigiri need to get it together this is insane. AND THE NAGIREO ONE SHOT LETTER CHAPTER??????? i am soo tired of them

[tiaᝰa · Rating 3 out of 5]

The structure of the first match was pretty good, but none of the events really stood out to me. I loved the interactions between Chigiri and Barou, though. I hadn't realized the potential they had as a duo, especially considering their respective titles. Chigiri stepping in as the brains of his stubborn team was also pretty cool to see since we've never seen him take on that type of role before. And I hated that fortune-telling freak, so it was nice to see him frothing on the floor. But, yaaaay, we got to see more of Nagi and Reo's past together!! I don't really feel hyped up for the next match, though. Well, none of these matches are really anything to get hyped up for, anyway.

we got karasu backstory before nagi backstory. they’ll probably save it for the main manga (perhaps during the world cup?) but still

ch 20
more mumbo jumbo pitch talk with this hiiragi guy whom i have no memory of but apparently plays for man city but ig no one gaf bc he's not on that post NEL bus
ok chigiri further evolution

ch 21
who knew barou and chigiri would work together so well, also love how everyone gets nicknames, barou with king and chigiri with princess
ok nagi finally believes in himself whoopdidoo

ch 22
and they take zantetsu
SCREAM KIYORA IS HERE
he literally doesn't care he took nagi's court
listen, i am always gonna love a dribbler, it's one of the reasons i love musiala so much
and then he gets corrected and is like oh okay. maybe that's why he was the epitome of whatever when isagi benched him for hiori
and who KNEW we'd get tabieita in this chapter too? i cannot get over otoya and karasu and kiyora being on one team literally so underrated (otoya's personality plus karasu holding def mid which is one of my fav positions and kiyora being who he is wow) but no seriously i want that panel of them seared into my brain
butt trap otoya??

ch 23
shidou mention as well. episode nagi giving us all the intros to my favs is not what i expected but i love it.
igaguri being a diving striker that's an actor's job not a football player's. he's so annoying he should play for arsenal
barou being constantly angry at nagi do we think he misses him on that bus too cuz i rly need all their thoughts about his whole situation not just reo and isagi
everyone thinking of their loved ones before going to play

ch 24
the tri-panel of otoya/karasu/kiyora is perfection
kiyora: kay. (insert that scene from enchanted where giselle yells at robert like "is that all you say?? no??") -> he literally does whatever is asked maybe is isagi asked nicely he'd get a rly nice pass too but he bet on hiori and kurona instead

[Luana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Volume abbastanza interessante, visto che permette al lettore di conoscere una parte della storia che non si era vista nella serie principale. Seguendo il percorso di Nagi, è possibile tenere traccia anche della situazione di altri personaggi, al di fuori del gruppetto di Yoichi, Bachira e Rin.
Il match 3 Vs 3, per esempio, che vedeva opposti Nagi, Baro e Chgiri contro Niko, Zantetsu e il fan della cartomanzia, permetterà ai primi tre di raggiungere la vittoria sfruttando una maggiore consapevolezza dei loro punti deboli - un approccio un po' particolare, ma che gli permette di superare le difficoltà incontrate a inizio match. Sarà un'occasione importante anche per Seishiro, che, per la prima volta da quando ha iniziato a giocare a calcio, ha iniziato a pensare in maniera indipendente, senza fare riferimento alle figure di Reo e di Isagi. È un cambio netto di atteggiamento, che si nota anche nello scontro 4 Vs 4 con cui si chiude il volume. Anche se qui gli avversari sono di un livello superiore.
In questo volume vediamo anche come se la passano Reo e Kunigami, chiamati a una sfida decisiva contro quel soggetto particolarissimo che risponde al nome di Ryusei Shido e a quell'omuncolo di Igaguri...chissà se questo spin-off ci mostrerà come caspita ha fatto a superare la seconda selezione e soprattutto cosa è successo a Kunigami.
Comunque sia, questi ultimi volumi mi sono piaciuti particolarmente, se non altro danno spazio a una parte di storia completamente nuova.

Nagi - Barou - Chigiri thắng trận 3v3 và chôm Zantetsu. Dù trận này cũng dễ thôi nhưng cũng vui vì được gặp lại Niko và biết thêm Hiiragi (trong truyện gốc không nhắc đến nhiều). Nhưng tiêu điểm chắc là ở trận 4v4, đấu lại team Karasu - Otoya - Kiroya (+ Himizu, một nhân vật phụ nữa mà mình không hề để ý trong truyện gốc).
Mình nhận ra mặc dù truyện được phóng tác dựa vào góc nhìn của Nagi nhưng không vì thế mà đi sai mạch truyện gốc, mặt khác Episode Nagi tuân thủ chính xác các diễn biến trong truyện gốc, đồng thời tận dùng các khoảng trống trong truyện gốc để khắc họa các nhân vật phụ thêm rõ nét. Rất thích sự phát triển này.

Сегодня на БЛ ТВ: Пинаю мячик и думаю О НЁМ.
В других новостях - команда квиров is here, и честно говоря, хотелось бы, чтоб Наги с ними побольше потусил, уж они бы научили его плохому. (И футболу мб тоже немножк). Word.



Извини, если трахнули...

FINALLY KARASU AND OTOYA!!
