My Thoughts:
|
This volume, while good, was lacking in both heart and humor. I didn't laugh nor did I feel that rush of emotion, either up or down. THIS is what I was expecting from this story arc and sadly, it gave it to me in spades. We'll see how the final volume plays out.
One of the characters said it best.
There has never been a japanese player in the NFL. I'm not sure if
there has been since this manga was written, circa 2009, but
honestly, it is no surprise. Football players are some of the biggest
people in this country. Trickery and feints and whatnot will only
take you so far.
★★★★☆
