honestly i feel so happy rn w the way nagi’s development is going? literally all i have been saying when it comes to him is that he doesn’t play football for himself, and his reasoning of being to be the best with reo was only hindering him from truly reaching his full potential.
this is all i have ever wanted, for him to become independent and HE’S DOING IT. this is first time i’ve actually seen someone commit to living for themselves and following their own ideals in a manga where teamwork is also so crucial and i absolutely love it. especially after such a horrid statement like ‘football is only fun when it’s with you.’ i feel like he’s levelling up as a character.
tbh i always felt like nagi was just always that type of person? the type to want to explore and find ways to develop himself moreso when he entered bllk despite his more laid back personality, but bcs all he knew was reo before when it came to football, it led to him centring his love for football around him and not the actual sport. seeing when nagi chose to be on isagi’s team over reo’s but then come back to him in a way that expresses that they ‘need’ to be with eachother to play afterwards explains my whole thought process. but now he doesn’t view reo as the central figure as to why he plays football yk?
i feel like when he thinks back to establish his motivations for playing now, his experiences in bllk override his prior ones established with reo and thats why he is FINALLY being able to take the next step and develop. and like i said, all i have EVER wanted when it comes to nagi.
i am curious as to how reo will react to this new nagi. i don’t think he’ll have a super crazy reaction again and instead he’ll be increasingly more accepting and perhaps even proud of nagi for making this change bcs i think they’re both moving away from the realm of NEEDING eachother to play and developing as individuals which immediately makes them more likeable as characters to me. eyuckk reo praise what is happening to me? i think pigs are starting to fly LOL
i am alsooo really liking this double parallel w/ nagi and bllk as they are both discovering new ways to think about football and their other principles rather than relying on just ego’s ideology in order to progress. very nice.
having no bad words to say which is crazy other than isagi u loser stop taking accountability for rin’s bummy actions. i understand where he’s coming from but no. i honestly feel crazy that the only person w what i think is an appropriate was shidou LOL.
EXCUSSEEEE MEEEE SINCE WHEN WAS THIS GETTING AN ANIME ADAPTATION??? WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL I AM SO HAPPY RNNNN
are we just forgetting that her bf’s original personality is a TRAUMA RESPONSE???????????
he doesn’t confront things even though he wants to because he’s afraid that things will build up into something even more serious & thats why he acted like such a submissive househusband. and this is based on events from his younger life which are not entirely revealed to us in full. this new personality is helping him too yk. to express his true emotions that he has been conditioned to suppress. it has dual benefits for both the mc and her bf.
& i definitely think that this mc is stupid asl but like she’s not openly throwing herself at her ex yk??? it is the bare minimum but e for effort?? LOL
i honestly thought she’d end up running back to her ex too and perhaps having an affair on this trip where her man wouldnt know but after reading the newest chapter and looking at the cover on the actual korean website which is her bf and not her ex, i have more faith in her and am a little more certain that she’ll stay loyal.
if not, my crew, lets burn the place down. bcs her man literally did nothing to deserve it.
This is against his consent and not his explicit choice, why not let him process it in a way he is in more control and and actually chooses
trueee i do think that him first-hand healing from his trauma together with his girlfriend would have been the best course of action but i’m not the author lol.
i can only talk abt the cards i’ve been dealt with. i don’t think he would’ve been able to step out of his comfort zone and develop without a little push tho tbh.
genuinely how long would it take me to finish the novel? i actually cannot be a poser anymore & is there a physical copy out yet? i’m assuming so because its so popular.
actually, the novel is still ongoing ! depending on how fast you read + your schedule, you might complete part 1 before the first chapter of the manhwa adaptation comes out :D
regarding the physical copies, I don't think there's an official release of the physical copies yet, those who own physical copies likely had them handbound or self-printed
THANK YOUUU!! i heard the adaptation comes out june 5th so is this assuming that i start reading today? i do have a lot of work to do but i’m sure i can sacrifice my sleep to read loll ╮(￣▽￣)╭
YES YESS pls start reading it today !! I guarantee you won't be bored at all (hopefully)! The first chapter hooks you instantly, happy reading !!!
just wanted to update you real quick but YOU WERE SO RIGHT??? THIS IS AMAZING AND THE FIRST CHAPTER REALLY DID HAVE ME BUCKLING UP MY SEATBELT.
i really enjoy the characters so far & the early plot twists, i can definitely see this becoming a part of my daily routine so thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg no problem at all !!!! I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU LOVE ITTTT, It deserves more and MORE popularity for real
before i yap, rin slander ≠ rin hate before these little rin fans terminate my life from existence. i still love rin but he acc deserves to get clowned on.
oml i actually might obliterate rin today. i give him a little compliment and defend his little miserable self and then he goes off acting like he’s midorima w/ aim assist on his damn shots.
WHO ARE U FEELING LIKEEE GET OUT BROOOO OMDSSS. HOW DAAAAARREEE YOU MESS UP ISAGIS FLOW STATE. yo i sound like those creepy ahh parasocial fans rn LMFAO BUT I ACTUALLY DONT CAREE.
HE DID ABSOLUTELY JACK ALL GAME AND WANTS TO APPEAR LAST SECOND LIKE THE DAMN GRIM REAPER. MOVEEEE MAN. genuinely what was his little meditation training for. he cannot control himself for SHIT.
‘you dont get to leave me behind’ - famous last words. bro said if i can’t have it, no one can! LIKE GET UR LAME AHH OUT OF MY FACEEEE, OFF THE PITCH AND ON THE BENCH.
icl all will be forgiven if i see him cry in like a pathetic begging snotty nosed type way. his stinky self wont mind a bit of mess anyways
i’m calling a rin slump era where he has to learn to tone down his own ego or some bs but his pride wont let him as we can see with his stink aura so he’ll be benched for time or smth idk w/ a sprinkle of an isagi exploration era, perhaps a development of his own independent ideology or contemplation abt if hugo was right or not in him adopting a supporting role.
omggg character development rin era where he learns tolerance and self-restraint and finally asks for a new pair of boxers???????? LOOOL
OH MY GOSH WAAAIT THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO BRING BACK MY GOAT NAGI???!!?!?!?? STOP ITT
icl if rin does not take accountability for screwing up this goal i will not let him live peacefully bcs u CANNNOTTTTT be so prideful as to not even admit your mistakes and go on living. i’ll drop a couple banana peels where he’s walking every once in a while, a couple fart cushions too to mask the awful smell of his worn out boxers.
this has been a rough few weeks for rin huh. i pray that shidou pisses on him or smth idek
ALSO disrespect to bllk is disrespect to me. how r u gna let that fat head loki call ur match boring and YAWN in ur FAAAACEEE. the day loki dies (metaphorically and hopefully literally) is the day i can rejoice again cause that hurt my soul bruh, i honestly scrolled faster past that panel </33. and u got hugo peace signing on u. genuinely i think i’d shoot the whole place up. no ones leaving alive.
i did predict either a draw or a loss, would’ve been a draw if not for that pesky rin BUT WTVVV.
this loss is REDIRECTION SO WE’RE GOODDD. especially seeing isagi not get pissy about not winning. icl i saw a comment that was like ‘it’s not about winning, it’s about sending a message ahh chapter’ AND I WAS CRYINGGGGGG bcs genuinely isagi stfu aint nobody care about that bs apart from you and the voices in ur head. if ur gna flex about mini battles of ideology at least win the GAME BRUH so we actually care about what ur saying. it just hits harder yk? this wasn’t his fault tho but i digress.
maybe like 15% of people who r watching the actual matches care about this battle of ideologies but i promise u the majority js see u like how the average joe sees ronaldo & messi or smth. just amazing players & role models to emulate and nothing more.
also oh my gosh is gagamaru ever gna save a goal again? i cannot remember the last time he saved smth or we even got an inkling of his thought process in saving a goal LMFAOOO i am actually scared i cant have him descending into fraud territory.
i deleted twitter but i HAVEEE to redownload just to see these memes on rin bruh LOOOL
this is so extremely hyped so i’m highkey excitedddd. i was supposed to read this ages ago but i never got the chance to so i’m feeling majorrrrrr fomooo </3333
this is deadahh if gojo, geto & shoko were in a football timeline LMFAOOOO
love this little trio. also i hopeee there’s no romance
& a bllk reference from chap 1… YEAAH THIS IS GNA BE PEAK
Exactly man, i love them
nahh hugo why is he being all nonchalant. im waiting for the iconic faces of despair to add to my collection after isagi wipes his hands with them. yk like barou when he unintentionally passed that ball.
since i’m not getting it i think there’s gna be another hurdle next chapter ughhhhhh.
anyways i love how quick isagi is to adapt. im proud of u my son
also nagi i miss u wherever you are
and to the people calling isagi their son…. last time i checked the paternity tests he had two parents….. me and dylan o’motherfreaking brian specifically in maze runner. idk where the mix up happened but js clearing that up yk
ok saiki i see you
