Translation for chapter 53 is out. Let's talk about teenage girls and the worst parents in the world.

Punished Dolphin, an athlete denied her pity party shimaidon.

I feel like Inori's attitude turned around too quickly after listening to Tsukasa. Is that another fakeout? Because she really has some mental things she needs to work out and I figured it'd take a lot more time.
I think I'd believe her a lot more if she were less enthusiastic about building resilience.

Are we on autosage?

It seems like a quick turnaround but was 40 pages of talk-no-jutsu and it included a bit of Tsukasa's past, of which she really values.

No, I think there was a hiccup where threads weren't bumping for a little while.

Damn she was using craft scissors to cut herself?

Scissors of all kinds. But no scissoring.

A little disappointed that Iruka and Mika didn't actually talk and she just figured it out in her dreams.

You really have to wonder what's in the Yuitsuka genes that attracts dark, brooding, talent skaters

Just look at them, they're adorable.

Just in time too

Iruka wants this

60 pages of "i WILL OVERCOME ADVERSITY"

we shounen slop now?

It's less adversity and more guilt and frustration. That's been the theme since at least the All-Japan Novices.

I gotta be honest as an anime first, the mother came off way less neglectful and cruel in the anime. After reading the manga, even now I can't forgive her, and I wonder if that's intentional ?

What is iruino ship name/tag? Do westoids not like it?

She was cruel, but she was the opposite of neglectful. If anything she was being overprotective.

I like age gap lezdom

age 17

Little old for this series, isn't she? That's almost legal (aka: hag) age.

This isn't a loli series anymore. They've grown up. Even shrimpy Inori's looking tall and cool now.

So fucking relatable I hate it

From getting yelled at by your precious student or just in general?

fucking hell, lads

reading todays ch after already having a bad day wasnt a good idea at all

I love iruka so much and I want her to become the happiest girl in the world

I see the dolphin and fried shrimp emoji sometimes.

I want to look like that

In general and I've been feeling this way a lot for some time now.

always have been

Mika has no tact.

while I do like this series its running into the problem many modern series do of its hard to convince me that a parent is evil and strict when they dont ever hit their kids and the worst they do is neglect them

neglect is worse than beating

There's no evil parent in this series

Iruka's parents are evil.

kids who cry just by their parents rising their voice at them grow up to be karens and hipsters

This manga is so cringe and edgy lately. Everyone is unhappy, everyone is failing, everyone is crying.

another 5 chapters of hikaru wank will fix this

It's like that most of the time though.
I think the bigger issue is that the future big cathartic victory setup is feeling pretty hollow. No Iruka in the GP Finals and Dahlia is the only other character that we know anything about.

Did they ever finish the new character poll yet? Iruka deserves the #1 spot right now, she's the most compelling character in the series.

Animeonlies mean she'll never win.
