You're right; it
does
look like...
Spoiler
for
ch.57
:
...the individual tournament is being retconned in.
I wonder if this is being done with an eye towards future anime seasons? It's obviously not practical to put the individual tournament in the manga at this stage (since, at the manga's pace, it would stall further plot development for about another year), so giving it a canon nod is the next best thing. The manga can keep moving and future anime seasons can keep following the manga storyline directly, without worrying about parallel-universe plot conflicts.
At any rate, they're clearly recruiting for some kind of group. They've already got several more-or-less confirmed members (which probably includes Nodoka and Saki). Mikoho's definitely in; the Kazekoshi coach says she was a certainty after winning the individuals the previous week. They go on to debate the merits of some of the others. What was said regarding Momoko was that Saki was able to see just her kan tile for an instant, while Nodoka seemed to be able to see everything... and that might mean Momoko's ability would be ineffective against people like the "Blumenthal sisters" and "Neiman." Is some kind of international tournament coming up?
At any rate, it looks like Fujita plans to show up at the training camp with the Kazekoshi coach and play with everyone from the finals of the team competition, then wrap up the decisions after that. Should add a little extra spice, I guess...
