IT'S OUT!

Thanks Stephen & Co. for delivering so fast! I was about to jump on a plane and feared I'd miss it.

Spoiler for #158 a.k.a. ROLLERCOASTER:

Wow! All that in just a single chapter!? I can't believe how fast it went! He "dumped" Mishima in one chapter, after such a long time spent on the match, that is so weird! And what a last couple of pages! Very close to previous Adachi series yet it had its own flavor as well. Congratulations to Junpei and Ichiyō.

I have to give it some time but right now my first impression is that the four ball idea was a great one. Not only is it fair on Mishima, I find the idea of not knowing for sure whether he hit 160 excellent. I also wondered how Adachi would deal with the game if Mishima went on base, but it was dealt perfectly, since everyone knew how it would end.

I love Kō's lie. I was expecting the exact opposite (him lying that he did not love her) and therefore I wondered how he came to mention the promise of hitting 160km/h. I really think the "never knowing for sure about 160" is great. It makes for a very interesting situation regarding Aoba and Kō. Can't wait to see how they close it down. After-match + epilogue? or two parts epilogue? Time jump?

Great chapter! Great manga!
