Chikako is a pretty tough girl, almost the complete opposite of Sayuri Tachibana imo.

Feels like Tsukamoto is getting desperate to recruit Sayuri, almost to the point of persistent. Good episode. I like how they are introducing new characters namely Chikako.

Pretty good episode. They introduced Chikako and thought she was cool. It was good of her to finallly help the mc so he's not late to practice.

Lol fuck that bich for trying to bring down my man Tsukamoto from his training and putting in work. What a way to introduce new manager by making her a total bich.

On the other hand my man is a beast in defense, didn't let that Judo guy pass him not even once.

Great episode again, Tsukushi showing some progress in Soccer finally :D

I didn't like Chikako in the beginning as she came of as stuck-up and haughty but by the end I found her cool. Guess she was just affected by her past failure and gave up on trying to work hard, Hence why she was annoyed by Tsukushi, However Tsukushi's pure drive to achieve something seems to have reinvigorated her own spirit , The scene in the rain with Tsukushi telling her he wants to put his life on the line was quite powerful imo.
It was really nice of her to cheer him on and even help him out with the maintenance. I think I'll grow to like her more as she's the manager now.

Lol at Kazama calling Chikako the washboard of the class XD

Tsukushi showing some really amazing progress in defense, He completely owned that Judo dude. He even gained some recognition among the class.

Chikako is a cutie, definitely best girl. This was a nice change of pace for this series. Looking forward to more. I'm really enjoying this.

So, we have Aomine and Kuroko, and now we got Momoi.

Let's see how long it takes for Kazama to go "The only one who can beat me is me".

Just kidding. I love this show. Maybe it's exactly because it reminds me of Kuroko, or maybe it's because I'm a sucker for hard working guys that don't yell all the time and gain power from that. Whatever the reason, can't wait to see how this one develops.

The first half was a chapter that was supposed to be adapted in the earlier episodes but looks like they are re-arranging some stuff as i thought it might be . Well better than previous episodes .

Hmm, I don't think I'd ship Ubukata and Tsukamoto all that much, much less than Tsukamoto and Kazama. I feel like Ubukata's "crush" on Tsukamoto would just be a tease, much like

At the beginning it felt kinda rushed with Chikako coming out of nowhere trying to bring Tsukamoto down like that but after that it was really fun and I'm beginning to like Chikako 'the Washboard' as well.

The show is growing on me for each episode, the bad review score it has is actually
bothering me as there are alot worse shows than "Days" this summer

Nice a new love interest. I wonder if all the other guys will be jealous lol. I can see their relationship going far as they inspire each other to push themselves beyond their limits.

No wonder it felt so tagged on. So now instead of a parallel development, we have an awkward character reintroduction.

I hope she does NOT turn out to be a love interest. From the way the episode was framed, she seems to be on the path to become friends with Tsukamoto, and I would like to see them going that way.

If she was to become the love interest I suppose we would see more blushing. But Tsukamoto reserves his blushing and wide-eyed admiration for other characters...

Introduced her as a bitch, then make her realize that she sees herself in him, make her realize she is wrong, and make her realize that she can pave her own path.
Well at least I can say the writing isn't that bad. My only problem with it is that there are too many characters, so it just feels all over the place. I'm a sucker for character development, but when a show spreads itself too thin... there's only so much good that can come out of it.

I am already shipping them hard :3 Well, if it's not meant to be a pairing, I hope they won't tease and just make them really good friends.

Reeeeally nice episode.

But let's hope Chikako follows HER dream as well. Do both of them, get inspired in both ways: help baka Tsukamoto with his goal and set a goal for herself again <3 Otherwise I would be very sad hehe. It would remind me of how in Major the girl didn't do anything apart helping Goro in the end... Girl power, please!

Nah.. a holding midfielder needs a good passing range. I doubt he has that. He's probably going to be the Simone Zaza of Seiseki. A super-sub who runs a lot, good at pressuring defense, but ultimately lacking in everything else.

well, he did tell you to help him clean because he needs to go to practice
second was average

Was waiting for this episode. They finally introduced Ckikako. Didn't expect her to become the Manager though.

Glad to see him improve. Hope they show his backstory soon.

This has a lot more potential than I originally thought it would, I don't really understand how Chiako became the manager but I look forward to her interactions with Tsukamoto. This is really shaping up nicely at the moment and it's great too see that Tsukamoto is actually improving at other stuff rather than running.

Uumm... Tsukamoto, how did you even stop that Judo guy, while being a total amateur?? I've been playing soccer for 3 years now, and I can barely do that.


Looks like it's just pure talent :\

not really like this episode tbh, but overall i enjoyed it :D
but there is something that bothers me a lot; what that asshole grabbed mc's clothes while playing soccer, ISN'T THAT FOUL ? the heck with that seriously ? i don't like that at all tbh. one of the worst scene imo from this series. but other than that, it was okay.

The girl who got focused more in this episode was annoying which is the main reason why i didn't kinda like this episode. well, she has her own cute side but still, annoying.
