00:00Picture this, the dim guy over late afternoon sun filtering through the grimy windows of Chidori High's staff room, casting long shadows that dance like ghosts of old grudges across the clutter desks.
00:08The air is thick with that unmistakable scent of chopped dust and unspoken regrets, the kind that clings to your skin-like humidity after a rainstorm.
00:15And there, in the eye of a doll, stands to cut a sensei tall and yielding, with that signature for a brother says he's seen too many teenage tempests to flinch at one more.
00:23Achidori boys, those rough-around-the-edges rebels we've come to root for like underdog fighters in a ring they didn't use, burst through the door like a dam finally cracking.
00:30Wind hara Tsumugi leads the charge, his usual stoic mass cracking just enough to show the fire underneath, beside him, the crew minoru, kohei, the whole racquetek squad fidgeting with that mix of defiance and desperation that screams, asterisk we've hit our limit, sensei.
00:43This one's bigger than us.
00:45Asterisk.
00:46What unfolds is pure electric tension, a chapter that crackles like live wire underfoot.
00:50The boys lay it all out not in some explosive shout-fasts, but in halting confessions that hit harder than any punch.
00:56They've been dancing around this incident for arcs now, a shadowy specter from the past that's poisoned the well between Chidori and Kikaru girls high.
01:03Whispers of violence, terrified bansers, a divide deeper than the river snaking between their campuses.
01:08And here, in this raw, unfiltered plea, they finally admit it, asterisk we need backup.
01:12Adult backup.
01:13Asterisk Tsukota sensei doesn't just listen, he asterisk absorbs, asterisk it, his eyes narrowing as memories flood back.
01:20Cue the gut-punched flashback silent panels that speak volumes, flipping us to a younger Tsukota, fresh-faced and fumbling in his early teaching days, watching helplessly as Kikaru girls scatter like startled birds from the Chidori wolves.
01:31The vibe.
01:32Shilling.
01:32Those wide-eyed stares of pure fear from the girls one suspiciously like a teen Toku-sensei.
01:37All sharp edges, and the kneeling glare contrasts brutally with the boy's cocky struts, hinting at a history of brawl's gone too far, regrets buried, but never rotted away.
01:45Big moments.
01:46Oh, they learn like thunderclaps.
01:49The boy's collective inhale before spilling their guts from Tara's quiet, we can't fix, this alone is the spark that ignites the room.
01:55Then Tsukota's resolve hardens his voice drop into that gravelly timbre, this problem, it's on us adults to sort.
02:00The umu.
02:01Emotional shrapnel everywhere, shards of growth pierce through the armor of pride.
02:05Here players shine, Tsukota is a reluctant peacemaker, evolving from passive-observative pillar of change, the Chidori lads shedding their lone wolf bravado for something vulnerably human,
02:13and echoes of KKO's side of the principles quite reasonable as clashing, with turkey-senses simmering Veneta, adding layers to the rivalry that sequel parts heart-wrenching and infuriating.
02:22The overall vibe.
02:23It's a pressure cooker on simmer introspective yet urgent, like that moment before a confession when your heart's pounding but you know holding back would shatter everything.
02:30Humor fleckers in the margins, like the boy's awkward shuffle reminding you of oversized puppets in a china shop, but it's laced with that Tsokomikami melancholy,
02:37the kind that makes you ache for these kids caught in webs woven long before they arrived.
02:41Either chapter's close, as Tsukota steals himself with a storm ahead, you're left buzzing, fist pumping in your seat because asterisk finally asterisk, the adults are stepping up.
02:49This isn't just a chapter, it's the pivot point where grudges start to wilt, and something fragrant to dignity, maybe begins to bloom.
02:55Alright, let's geek out over the canvas because Tsokomikami's art in chapter 164.
03:00It's a masterclass in making silence scream louder than dialogue ever could.
03:04This character designs Lord, they're the heart-eyed emoji of the manga world.
03:08Tsukota-sensei's face is a revelation, craggy lines etched like fault lines from years of shouldering student chaos, put his eyes.
03:14Pools of quiet storm, softening just enough in the boy's plea to let you see the mentor beneath the graph exterior.
03:19It's that subtle shift in shading the way Mikomi uses soft grays to melt the hardness around his irises that turns a stoic teacher into a guy you'd grab a beer with or, you know, tea, since we're cafe sipping here.
03:28And the Chidori crew?
03:30Mintaro's broad shoulders slump ever so slightly in vulnerability, his hair a wild mob that Mikomi renders with these dynamic, windswirt strokes that scream and tame soul.
03:38It's gorgeous, the kind of detail that makes you flip back just to trace the tension in a clenched jaw or the flicker of death in a sidelong dance.
03:44The panelling?
03:45Chef's kiss with a side of fireworks.
03:47Mikomi plays with rhythm like a jazz solo tight, claustrophobic grids for the boy's tense huddle, exploding into wide, breathy spreads for the flashback.
03:55That sequence where the Kikaiu girls freeze mid-set, terror blooming in their expressions like ink and water.
03:59Haunting.
04:00The negative space around them amplifies the dread, with Chidori's shadows looming like abstract threats, tall jagged angles and implied motion.
04:07Backgrounds aren't just set dressing, the staff room's peeling posters and stacked papers feel left in, a tactile reminder of Chidori's underdog Gret, while the flashback's hazy, severe tinge sits escape of hooks in a stutter that sequel parts are warm and wounding.
04:18Palace pops selectively two vibrant reds in the boys' uniforms, bleeding into the foam-like accusations grounding the emotional chaos.
04:24Now, gentle nudge time because nothing's perfect, and we're adults who can say it with love, the pacing and flashback dips a tad into melodrama.
04:32Those silent panels are poetic, sure, but a couple linger a beat too long on wide-eyed stares, risking a touch of cheese that pulls you out of the immersion.
04:39It's like Mikami's so enamoured with the emotional weight he's layering on that he forgets to trim the fat could've shaved a panel or two for snappier impact.
04:45And while the girls' side gets name-dropped, their absence in the art feels stark, a teaser sketch of Toki in the flashback is killer, but I crave more visual bridge to Kikaiu's polished elegance.
04:54Still, these are quibbles and a sea of splendor Mikami's got that rare gift for making Dignity look devastatingly pretty.
05:00Fear you, chapter 164 leaves me slumped in my cafe chair, half-drained espresso forgotten, staring at the steam curling up like unanswered questions.
05:08Overall, it's a banger that elevates the series from sweet schoolyard romance to something profoundly human, a tapestry of fractured trust and fragile ments that tugs at your soul like an old bruise you didn't know was there.
05:18I'm obsessed with how Mikami weaves the rivalry not as cartoonish hate, but as generational scar tissue, with Toko emerging as this unlikely goat who's quite weird old Scott to handle this hits like a might drop on my heart.
05:27The boys pivot to vulnerability.
05:30Gold.
05:31It's the rare growth arc that feels earned, not forced, making each year for these knuckleheads like they are your own little brothers finally figuring out therapies not to fall at a word.
05:39What keeps me up at night in a best way is the electric undercurrent of asterisk change asterisk colors tap to flips the script from kid vs kid chaos to adult accountability hinting at bridges over the damn weather instead of more burned ones.
05:50Humor sneaks into, like Tsukota's dead pinstay amid the boys fumbling, a chuckle-worthy breather in the heaviness.
05:56Critiques?
05:57Kindly, the arc's been dragging its feet on the incident revealed to ease us more, but don't blue ball the payoff forever, yeah.
06:03Still, it's forgiven because the emotional payoff here is Sheskis.
06:06Fingers crossed for the series.
06:08Motsukota deep dives, he's the sage we didn't know we needed and a full circle clash where Chidori and Kikai's worlds don't just collide but asterisk call less asterisk.
06:16Ivers from Taro and Kyoruko navigating this mess with their signature Spock and maybe Toki-sensei throwing just a smidge one can dream.
06:21If the anime's advanced screening hype is any tease, we earn for visual fireworks, but the manga's soul.
06:27Untouchable.
06:29Has the mochi, I'm ready to dice it 165 over round 2 of Lottie's.
