TL for ch. 95 is out.
Mai Ball!
>Mouyes getting wrecked in my Chinese scrolls.
Nice desu ne.
A somewhat expected solution, can't say I'm not hyped, though.
But that's a compliment.
It's hard to tell where everyone is right now, but seems they've put the forwards at the back again? Is Kunimitsu, dare I say it, the greatest tactical mind of our generation?
I figured from the start the 'tactic' would just be moving everyone around again, yet I'm still disappointed. It'll be utterly retarded if Kijinan somehow end up throwing this away.
>A great coach like Pep
>Even Mourinho
I'm not so sure about that.
>>Even Mourinho could probably do something in this situation
I can go both ways now that I reread it, I think.
>Micchi enthusiastic about defense
>Yoko at the forefront w/ Best Girl
The wait's gonna feel longer.
More or less, Kunimitsu is just putting them himself down anyway. Hardly surprising considering his coaching style is just winging it and hoping Mai tricks herself into being useful. So he's Wenger basically.
Mitsu (and others) have carried this team to the final, they deserve better than to be let down by shitters like Youko.
time for some involuntary lewd kissing sequence
This team is a fucking joke.
The defense suck at their jobs. Bringing them forward will only help.
Yoko's midfield.
Don't lump Yoko w/ the useless defense.
Yuika, Saki and Youko are useless in general. Mitsu has already shown how good she is from deep though and her combining with Chidori should be great. I did want Mai Miyanogoals to finally fucking score though.
Saki at least has some potential because she's naturally athletic. The other two on the other hand will be probably the bench players when they finally expand their roster.
>will be probably the bench players
will probably be bench players*
Whoa no idea what happened there
Saki did pretty well against Franklin. I'd say Yuika is the only useless one.
>when they finally expand their roster
I'm not even sure if there's more after Kijinan. If Inoue's gonna extend it, it's w/ a world cup, or atleast vs a foreign team, w/ an all-star team like other manga where the weaker ones will get culled.
>If Inoue's gonna extend it
Is this manga even doing well?
And that's why we love them so much
Saki did show some improvement a little while ago so she isn't irredeemable. Her and Rinka are the only players in their quarter of the pitch to get anything resembling development though. Even the author couldn't care less about Yuika.
That scene is strange because not long after Kunimitsu says he'll take them to nationals anyway. So either they beat Kijinan to qualify then disband (retarded) or they win the nationals with nine players (also retarded)
There's also the possibility that they lose. It's pretty common for sports manga to have the heroes lose in their first tournament. And then, it's probably some Reika family drama but I'm not sure if it will go on.
It was moved to another magazine instead of being gone forever, so I'd say it still has life to it.
That's actually what I want to happen honestly, Reika really needs taking down a peg or two before she can get any better. Cliche as that may be.
Mostly I'm just hoping Mai Ball continues on a while yet, it's legitimately the manga I enjoy reading the most right now.
>recruitment match v Mai
>1v10
>futsal
She has her fair share of being BTFO'd.
So, I bought myself some of those "Halftime" artbooks Inoue has put out for Comiket and similar events. But I don't feel like gutting them to make decent scans. Should I just put out some shitty scans anyways or leave it be and hope somebody else will ever do the job appropriately?
Where did you find them? I need these so bad. I wouldn't want to gut them either but any scans you can give would be a godsend.
Put the scans, then wait till someone does a better one. Better than having nothing at all.
They go up on Yahoo Auctions every once in a while. They are also listed on Mandarake but sold out a long time ago. (However, thanks to that there are some scattered pages here and there already scanned as samples. Pic related.)
Alright, I'll make scans then. I guess I could also photograph them instead but I suspect that would look even worse. Uploading to panda for maximum exposure? Some of these books have been out for a long time, but seemingly nobody ever cared to scan them, wich is why I'm afraid nobody will ever take up the slack and bought them myself in the first place. And I don't have all of them either, only Halftime 2 and 3 (out of 4) and the Summer 2015 rakugaki book.
Have an exclusive preview. That's about the quality you can expect from my scanner. Although I wonder if there is any point to scanning Halftime 2 when it consists almost completely of spreads, this here being one of two pages who are the exception. Spreads are gonna look terrible when I scan them like this.
Anime when? Sports really benefits from animation.
What this guy said.
How many chapters can they fit in 12-13 episodes? Ending the anime in the middle of this tournament would suck.
Never. The only way for sports series to get adapted these days anymore is when it's fujobait.
The Franklin and Kuryuin matches really would be great animated, wasting the hype of a World Cup year like this is a huge blunder.
Please just give me animated best girl already Japan.
bampu
Mai is top cute.
You're doing God's work user.
nice art
Reika looks so small here.
A number 9 large butt
I have no idea why it goes very much unnoticed, there's virtually no fanart of it. Most art is from the author himself.
.
I still love Mai Ball but I miss the sexier times.
As a real man Kunimitsu understands that football is more important than girls.
Maybe it's the perspective but holy shit.
Reika's ok but she's no Mitsu.
Yeah, she's better.
>imfuckingplying
Mitsu is not only cuter and sexier she is also the better player. She deserves more than dragging a bunch of nobodies to the nationals.
>picking on an injured player
wew
Anyone have the volume raws?
Chidori hasn't done much this match, but since they just put her center stage I hope we get to see her shine for awhile.
Kuni stated that Kijinan has done some research so she's probably marked well.
It's not like Youko will do anything given it's the second half so Chidori will probably have to die again. Hopefully Mitsu playing her in from deep will let her score, she deserves it.
I'm glad the girls are finally getting btfo'd by a team that actually prepares properly, shame they may yet just fluke their way from 3-0 down.
>none of this girls will ever sit on your face.
I would pay all of my money.
specially after a match.
Just. Imagine.
What I wouldn't give to live between these thighs.
Silly Reika, the ball needs to be closer so Kuni's line of sight will follow.
She's so lovely!
closer to your body*
god I want to fuck their butts
What a beautiful sentiment. Their butts must be so nice and firm too.
Mai Balls are for impregnation, not wasting seed by shooting it up the poop chute
looks like fun, picked up.
Don't die on me just yet, thread
I keep forgetting what color everyone's hair is. For some reason I keep thinking Reika is blonde.
