Wow, what a conversation. I hope Eiichirou can learn more from it coming from a pro but it sucks to also know that injuries can take a toll on athletes.

Certainly is something he needed to hear. It's not that Aoi is saying he has to go pro or even that he should. It's just that if he keeps lying to himself, he's the one that is going to suffer over it. And it's good to use his notes in that sense. His reflections of the match weren't those of someone who was done. They were ones from someone who wanted to take the next step.

That doesn't mean this will be smooth and easy. Even if he recognizes that he doesn't want to give up....he's going to have to break that promise. He's going to have to make a push despite it going back on what he said he'd do. And it's not going to be easy. Though ironically I could see his mother making the swap and being on his side after seeing him in that tournament.

Next chapter should be a time for him to re-evaluate and think about what he truly wants.

all the burden eichirou has.... T_T

I wish this manga could get translated more often.May be like 5 chapters a week since we are over 100 chapters late.
Anyway that was a good chapter and i feels like Ei-chan will soon have a talk to his parents.

Coach Aoi is such a fantastic mentor and friend. Glad Maruo has such a figure in his life... please make the right decision, Maruo!
