Again, dark-haired girls are being portrayed as if they need the help of others to overcome their problems while the blonde girls in the previous chapters were portrayed as if they were ready-made successful and able. They weren't portrayed as if they needed this half-baked sports-psychology.
And stop using lame flashbacks to big up your blonde girls even when it's two dark-haired girls playing, you obsessed nutcase. Get us back to the action.
"Coach, what's gotten into you all of a sudden." Or in the real world: "What are you talking about? I'm in the middle of a game. I've got about two minutes before I go on the court again."
After two good chapters the writer went back to his old tricks and the only good thing in thing in this chapter was Yuika telling her coach that she is no banal misogynist sad story about some unrealistic melancholy dark-haired girl. Because she always knew with every choice she made that it was the right one.
A dissapointing chapter to say the least. Instead of the amazing art from the last two chapters we got lame action-shots and an ever more lame flashback series. And the writer completely went fast-forward through the entire second set while all sets were so eeeeeendlessly drawn out when it was a game with one of his blonde girls in it..
But something I am missing that also didn't appear in the other chapters was Yuika taking pleasure in drawing Ayano out. That was foreshadowed way back when they first met at that training center and it's what I've been waiting for this entire time. I hope the writer remembered to take his meds by the time he wrote the next chapter, so we finally see these two players shine.
