Chapter Title: Opposite Twins
https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1025770

>anti-female coach schizo won
I kneel….

The end

>>279689371 (OP)
Looks like the older brother is the one jeopardising the relationship. It seems like he might not want them to play together after all because the younger brother deliberately nerfs himself for the older brother sake.

>>279689641
Good. Nobody should read sports manga for female characters under any circumstances

Meh

This is boring as fuck.

Hope it's better than this.

Oh hi Rudeus

>>279689375
I've already read Touch

Decent first chapter honestly
>>279689641
Well they're not in high school yet so we'll have to wait see who the coach character will be

>>279689597
I like short boy

>>279690720
He's Nishinoya so he's perfect.

Surprisingly pretty good chapter. Short boy is a mix of Hiruma from Eyeshield21 and Nishinoya from Haikyuu.

>Baseball manga
>due to recent rule changes, pitchers dont have to go up to bat anymore
What's even the point if the part people actually like isn't gonna be included...

>>279690104
Holy fujobucks

>>279690956
Pitcher mcs jobbing when they go up bat is such a staple already on glad it's being skipped if the manga can get away with it.

>>279690636
Onegai touch touch koko ni touch

>>279690992
We've already seen all that the sport will be from the MCs perspective, throwing differently and striking out people that are said to be really good can only be so interesting
Going up to bat actually provides a serious and needed change in the flow to keep it from being samey

>>279690156
Sex with the gremlin

>>279690956
I mean, pretty sure that's only on Major League Baseball, it's not a Japanese baseball rule and certainly not for high school baseball

>>279691043
Nah, in baseballs you build up a team just to make the up bat part interesting.
DnA is all from Eijun's perspective and there's no issue there.

Anyone else play little leagues when they were a kid? I don’t give a shit about sports but I have more of an attachment to baseball cause of that

>>279691116
We're all nerds here man

it's nishinoya v2
the manga will thus be a success

>>279690156
>Barely over 5 feet tall

>>279691213
Nishinoya was by far best boy in HQ alongside Hinata.
Replicate their chemistry and make them act fucking dumb with each other.

It's kind of retarded that they don't look at all alike even though they're supposed to be twins

>>279691213
Really bad luck to debut this week, will have to see

>>279691252
Most people aren't terminally online and kagurabachi was in the preview for this week,bro no one missing aside from OPfans.

>>279691249
You know that twins can even have different genders right

>>279691248
>Nishinoya was by far best boy in HQ alongside Hinata.
wrong
best boy were chadgeyama nishinoya and then bokuto

>>279691311
They'd still look a little bit alike though

>>279691323
>chadgeyama
Hinata was better and the epilogue cemented that.
Kageyama needed bigger development scenes, even Tsukishima got them.

>>279691328
Some twins just look like siblings in general.
They kinda look alike and that's it.

>>279689371 (OP)
>New baseball manga
That sport is fucking boring and I have already labored through Adachi’s trilogy.

>collecting team members
That's going to kill this series

>>279691252
wsj magz sell is quite 'stagnant', even after KNY, or JJK, or MHA end, they didnt had drop in number. i dont know why you think KGB, being hiatus for 1 week will drop it???
or even KNY finale chapter didnt boost newbie manga (redhood or Phantom seer)

>>279691393
>Some twins just look like siblings in general
....yeah, cause they are. Fraternal twins are the most common and they are just completely separate the whole time outside of just being born at the same time

>>279691445
I don't think they'll go that far.
The school should have naturally attracted people, basically an oofuri.

>>279691499
What makes Oofuri good is most of the team is mediocre other than Taijima and arguably Mihashi

>>279689371 (OP)
>sport manga
They sent them to die, man. Why do they hate this artist?

>>279691481
Its actually gone up a bit since JJK and MHA ended

>>279691534
By all accounts, Abe is great at being a catcher and takes wrangling the team and Mihashi in particular.

>>279691116
Same

>>279690156

I do like the misfit angle. It gives the story more room to develop if they have to make weird teammates work.

>>279691578
Abe is decent but he gets outsmarted a fair amount, like when they lose in the fifth round or when the one top-flight team beats the dogshit out of them

>>279691641
That goes for them all.
Mihashi has a ton of issues and even if he has great sense Tajiks fucks up a lot.

The manga seriously needs to avoid recruiting members, that kills the pacing and will destroy it.

>>279690137
I don't like this catcher, he is too short.

Ok the first chapter is rather underwhelming... The stupid realization 'oh even if we're twin we can't have the same pitching style' is bland dumb that make me question everyone's IQ in this spoko manga. The catcher's noisy personalities aside, it doesn't match with the MC who is basically the same kind of character, I think the shorty catcher and the younger one will make a better battery. MC just needs a great catcher with lots of experience and knowledge like Christ-sempai

>>279691416
Read Daiya no Ace
Adachi doesn't even know baseball's rules

>>279691116
I don't, next life I hope I will be born in Japan so I can join a baseball team

>>279690956
>due to recent rule changes, pitchers dont have to go up to bat anymore
What? That's boring

>>279690156
>Let's form a team full of outsiders...
Rip, you walk straight into the axed-bait zone
Hope the artist has a successful collaboration next time

>>279692097
It must be great to grow up spending your youthful days under the sun, chasing that white ball and dreaming of going to Koshien...I hope I get reincarnated as a Japanese baseball boy in my next life...

>>279692276
>next chapter he's already talked to them all and had the team formed
It killed 9 dragons so they surely know better.

>>279689597
best boy
boyfeet when?

Looks ok but I prefer Strikeout Pitch

>>279690104
cute

>>279690182
way better than all the sports that came to be these past few years after HQ!!
and no, GGG doesnt count since golf isnt spokon

>>279690877
>Hiruma from Eyeshield21 and Nishinoya from Haikyuu
glad it just wasnt me who's seeing this.
i just hope the characterization wouldn't break anytime soon.

>manga went to the gathering allies route of baseball manga
>he actually already spoken to them and round them all up
This duo understand the modern shonen pacing.

>>279691578
Tajima also catches for Mihashi right? They hit off so well too and less awkward/strained compared to Abe.

the one shot was better so this is a bit disappointing. the reasoning for throwing the underhand pitch made way more sense than the internal organ shit. basically he was the prodigy as a kid but unlearned underhanded throws to do it "the right way" and wasn't improving at overhanded throws no matter how hard he tried. then the coach convinced him that pitching underhanded is fine so he gave it a chance

The short guy is fuckable

That duch a nothing first chapter. I'm actually impressed.

>>279690156
>155xm
SEX

>>279693496
He made a really fuckable nishinoya ripoff that exists since chapter one so I hope it survives.

>>279690156
i'm going to drop it if shorty somehow grows up.

>>279693631
Hinata didn't get the growth spurt until the epilogue so I trust they keep him as is.

>>279689371 (OP)
I love the smell of axebait in the morning

>>279692276
That was the plot of the last baseball manga being axed

>>279689412
>Translation: John Werry
Oh

>not showing flexible MC with nice ass
The one thing the oneshot did better was yummy boy limbs

>>279694103
Yeah but
>nishinoya ripoff
You can always show that, you can't always just make a SEXO character.

>>279689863
>>279689930
These two shots were in the one shot but are drawn worse here. I guess since it was only one chapter they could make it more detailed?

hopefully the boys will get more meat on their bones once it gets to highschool

155cm tops

>>279694143
except for shorty btw, he's perfect as is

>>279694103
Sexo

I'm like 99.9999% sure and certain this will make it and become an exister and 60% sure it will become part of the top 7 of current wsj

>>279694585
I hope it fights it out with Ichi eventually.

>>279692843
Have you ever thought that it was because you have never read real spoko manga aside the fujo bait ones?

The Days of Diamond is well-received, MC is just sick in the head. Oblivion Battery is also pretty good.

If you mean only from WSJ then previous sport series that got axed all started with this cliche development, so there's nothing better about it

>>279694703

Anon...

>>279690956
>>279691056
MLB now has both league DH for pitcher. NPB has one league that DH and the other is voting for it. There’s also been a push for it to happen in college. They want more jobs for more players and allowing more pitchers to focus more on pitching alone to hyper optimize people. Also funny side note with this series is no one pitches submarine anymore because it’s too destructive on your arm and is deemed not worth it and banned completely in many little and middle school leagues

>>279691445
>>279691905
>>279692276
>>279692320
Why does collecting teammates kill every series besides major 2nd in which it was its most popular arc? Is the answer really JC panties

Dirty brother stealer

>>279695345
>when you get ntr'd and incestblocked by a fucking midget with a sexo stare

>>279695330
Because they're different magazines retard

>>279695330
Established franchise?

>>279694977
>MC only thinks about boobs
>They share porns with each other like true bros
Can't stop the delusion fujos but OB is as straight as it can get

>>279695330
Oblivion battery?

>>279695458
That shouldn’t matter it’s not like it’s shonen versus shojo

>>279695513
If your fanbase is made of fujos, can you really call it a straight manga? It got bigger thanks to the anime for a reason.

>>279695513
Keep telling that to yourself if it makes you feel better

>>279695536
Oh you REALLY are a retard

>>279695513
In oofuri, characters talk about fapping and porn mags, and it's seinen.
You can count the straight porn it got with one hand, and it's all the coach getting gangbanged.

>>279695330
Major is like one of those very few first baseball series back in the 90s so Major 2nd will easily get special treatment and the nostalgic fags and fujos will buy the manga to pay their respect and loyal to the author

>>279695521
Oblivion battery has a special way to tackle to team building, it starts off as a gag series then goes for trauma serious sport. And half of the team are already pro players. MC is also a pro, he only forgets how to play baseball

>>279695615
Hormonal teenage boys who practice sports, famously not a gay thing according to anon

>>279695545
It's already popular prior the anime adaptation. Hence why the publisher greenlit for an anime adaptation.
>>279695572
I don't really care, it's a better baseball manga compare to this one for sure, that's my point
>>279695615
Surely Major has more yaoi doujin than the straight one, does that change anything?

>>279696010
>It's already popular prior the anime adaptation. Hence why the publisher greenlit for an anime adaptation.
It's a jump+ series that didn't immediately bomb, those all get adapted, and it went from 10k to 40k, so you should know why.

You do guys know if they make the pitcher a good batter they make the MC athletically better than majority of the other kids at their level and it no longer becomes an underdog plot between twins?

>>279693090
Finally found someone I can agree with, the oneshot was definitely executed better

>>279692956
That won't change anything cause the next route will probably about getting along with new teammates and learn new pitching styles, then they lose for two times in a row before getting a revenge match in official summer tournament.... Hope I'm wrong cause that's gonna be boring as hell. I wonder why modern authors hate the idea of trying hard in prestigious schools so much?

>>279696010
Yes it's all gay

>>279696443
>I wonder why modern authors hate the idea of trying hard in prestigious schools so much?
Way too many characters and no underdog appeal in general beyond
>I must make it to the first string

>>279689371 (OP)
i've read about 5 chapters of 2 separate baseball manga and they both had literally this exact setup of
>two brothers both want to pitch and go to koshien
this might be the most generic non-battle manga the magazine has ever published.

>>279696443
>>279691445
>>279691905
>>279692276
He already found the team... MC and his brother is the last guy he's trying to recruit.

>>279696819
name them?

>>279696928
can't remember that shit dude as i said i read only a few chapters of each of them but this is an insanely generic setup.

>>279696949
Sure you did.

>>279693090
>>279694103
The oneshot sounds better, can anyone dump it?

>>279689412
The artist has only gotten better since his first attempt with Jump like 6 years ago but all of the writers he pairs up with are kind of shit. Is he really so shit at writing that he can't try writing a story by himself? It'll be 3/3 axed early if thing one also goes under.

>>279690156
is this the lineup on the bottom right?

>>279690079
Just bee urself™

Is this the team? Not gonna lie they look pretty boring except for nishinoya

>>279698983
>brown is normal
>pink is genki
>glasses is the super autist

>>279698983
The main character has such a generic design, I can't believe they let them get to serialization without giving him something to stand out. The mole under the eye is barely noticeable and he bangs or hair don't even have a unique shape.

>>279699745
Give him something after a small timeskip, he needs to start highschool.

>>279699745
the mc being generic doesn't matter
blue lock and haikyuu and kuroko and most successful sports manga all have generic mc
what matters is the main team and ennemies teams

>>279699820
Hinata has bright orange hair and Kuroko has bright blue hair, this dude has the exact same hair color and shape as a million axed Jump manga. Even spokon with black haired MCs usually give at least one super defining feature to their hair shape (Baby Steps with Ei-chan's rooster hair, ES21 with Sena's triangular hair shape, etc.)

What was the series with the pitcher who can only throw only 3 strikes? Did it got axed too?

>>279699923
Found it, Strikeout Pitch, it still going

>>279699923
It has low views but I heard it sells well? Could be wrong though

>>279690182
where are the little boy butts?!? deserves axe for not delivering

>>279690156
>>279690182
Interesting start, already got a rival with his younger brother who will definitely go to Hojitsu.
With them going to a school with no Baseball team I wonder if it will be similar to Major’s High School Arc & Boukyaku Battery

>>279694103
this stretch is pretty easy, anyone (without a beer gut) could achieve it in month or 2

>>279689597
>short-tempered manlet/shotabait with funny hair that's better than average
Will he have two chapters dedicated to how his insecurities make it hard for him to pee as well?

>>279700609
i shall now read this particular manga.

>>279700609
That manga is too underrated.

>>279700609
It's a fun read available on Jump+. I like how everyone is autistic and retarded in their own way.

>>279700609
>>279701053
Picked the fuck up.

>>279700609
>>279701053
This character makes more sense once you look into the mangaka’s past work Hyperinflation with its slutty shota MC.
Mangaka is based

>>279701367
Of course I forgot the image

>>279698983
the mc is too much of a nip self insert.
probably aiming for younger readers

>>279701408
Name?

>>279701539
Yeah he seems to be missing the autism that most baseball manga pitchers have now a days

>>279702848
Hyperinflation

>>279702882
still isn't too late to give him more characterization.
they can always resort to making him an actual tard and make HiruNoya the hyper-competent tard wrangler - though that won't make it last long as is.

>>279703091
look at current wsj mcs
they're all boring messes
even if he doesn't change anything this stays 100%

>>279703178
i guess.
the current setup is better anyways since there is room for improvements.

>two boring manga in a row
incredible
the artist seriously needs to ditch this shitty author

>>279689565
This nigga need glasses

>>279689815
This feels like a pretty abrupt transition

i want love triangle with girls subplot

only Hiruma and ES21 can pull off build the team from zero working.
this theme only work when you have force of nature-larger than life character. Embers try outsiders/outcast line up too, yet the MC, the Rival who become teammate, and others all normal people.
sport manga with this kind of premise rarely deliver.

>>279690626
The trap in this was so fucking erotic, a shame it never got anywhere so it'd get doujins.

>>279696515
In your head, don't be a fag

>>279689371 (OP)
Rudeus and Subaru?

>>279696894
Hence I said you will need 1-2 chapters to get along with each new team members, they can skip the find period which might cost like one or half a chapter but you can't skip the team bonding events
>>279698983
Yeah they look plain, the sameface syndrome already hit a homerun with these characters, I also hate how they all look skinny, it's like one short guy isn't enough
>>279699820
Are you retarded?

>>279707309
This, and Eyeshield 21 only works because people have limited knowledge about American football as a sport, and Hiruma is basically a multitasking genius and a senior with experience so Sena and the readers can believe in him.

>>279696527
The oneshot's direction was entering a prestigious school, the editor probably asked them to change it into an underdog team story instead.
But it's even weirder to turn down an offer to a better place then put your trust in a literal who to build a nobody team. It's not realistic.

>>279709476
>Are you retarded?
You're the retard here. They all look generic just like this MC.

>>279698983
this look generic-same face similar built
>>279690156
but this sillhoute of next nakama is better. so, we get the lazy one, the giant gorilla, the violence,???

>>279710057
also American football is different sport, like baseball is known for their gentlemen-class appeal, so click for japanese people, but A.Football is violence and outsiders (back then)

>>279711107
>the lazy one, the giant gorilla, the violence,???
not sure it's violence from the colored page
rather than lazy it's more like he's carefree
and the one on the right is the intellectual, he also raises his glasses on that picture

>>279709476
>Hence I said you will need 1-2 chapters to get along with each new team members
Hes gonna have to do that even with an established team

>>279711467
nah, again baseball is known for their nothing-bland superstar, if you want different baseball team, then you should amply the characterization, that will make the coach reject, and the community revolt.
UNAPOLOGETICLY make them unique, unhinged and outhere,.

>>279711682
>UNAPOLOGETICLY make them unique, unhinged and outhere,.
what do you suggest as a personnality to make them unique

>>279711682
carefree??nah, lazy and his own time-frame than others. violence rage machine. smartass who dont want to get coach, too dumb to live. etc,

>>279690182
Thank you for posting.

>>279690182
>easily going to break his promise with his bro
I already hate it. They are obviously going to be together in koushien as opponents but that wasn't the promise they made together.

There's potential in this.

Ty op

>>279689371 (OP)
fujo-sisters winning aside.....it's kinda kino tho

>>279715465
The question is how much they'll realize.
