This can’t be good for his posture.

Comments under cut are spoilerish

Now of course we’re all geared up for the possibility of Eijun being switched in and holding the line till the end. Depending on what happens next…since, despite the quality of Mei’s last pitch in this chapter, Seidou could absolutely still score here.

I noticed some spoilers circulating saying that Furuya was struck out. I don’t know where that came from but it’s not true, at least not for this week. 

The chapter ends with Furuya at bat. It’s one out, runners on 1st (Zono) and 2nd (Miyuki) with one strike and no balls. All to play for next chapter still, though a double play is obviously not off the table here if Furuya screws up.

Also, the chapter title, The Team I Admire (憧れのチーム）, is in relation to Inajitsu Captain, Fukui, who has a rather disturbing fan obsession with Inajitsu, rather than Zono. Although I’m sure Seidou are the team he admires too ;)

It may be wrong of me but I do wish this were one of those times Furuya scored an insane and unpredicted home run just at random and made the scoreline a lot more friendly. But I don’t see that happening, because Terajima-sensei likes to stretch out the pain.

Laughing Under the Clouds’ different endings. Donten ni Warau is a gorgeous anime with an amazing cast of characters.
