The dream all whom have entered and left the ranks of the Yokohama Minato badminton team: win the Inter-High. And Yusa definitely got hoodwinked after learning that Rika is Ryo's sister, being silent for the longest time.

The training camp continues under Hishikawa's guidance, and since Yusa failed to hit the Triple Crown, giving him another chance for the upcoming Inter-High is a given. Also, the "side quest" of the 1st-Year girls vying for the guys seems almost unnecessary, when their concentration is fully focused on what lies ahead on the next Inter-High, but more like Yusa is their opponent to beat.

Team Mizukaki (Webbed Feet) vs. the Higashiyama twins for a doubles practice, and it's clear that Mizushima and Sakaki are playing by their single standards, making it 1+1=1, not 1+1=2. For the twins to be able to play doubles in sync is more than just their DNA alone, but for the others, it's strict coordination, more than a promise for Mizushima to play against his middle-school friends.

It's painfully obvious that both Mizushima and Sakaki have to put in the effort in action, but the latter chose to just give up his position, in the midst of the former chasing a fleeting dream. So what will then be Mizushima's decision?

Playing doubles is like a married couple, lesson I learn from Ryman's Club

Wait wait wait... how come WE did not get to see THAT scene... from any angle? Only have a blurry photo of it now? Unless I missed something, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't miss THAT..... wth.

Yusa's crush on Rika is still hilarious.

The cheerful Sakaki-kun is mad and frustrated. Kinda sad to see him like that. Hope everything will be fine.


I still want Mizushima-kun and Sakaki-kun to play the doubles.

Well since we only have 2 episodes left, after this fireworks episode which will probably see which ships are available besides the sure thing with Matsuda, the last episode will probably be the team getting in sync for the next inter high. This show kinda grew on me so I hope we get a season 2 with a bigger budget and better animation but I won’t hold my breath.

I hope at least this issue of compatibility is something they resolve well.

Fine fine Sakaki realizing his childish wish to play with Mizushima is actually a burden to the whole game itself. Sooner the better, he needs to leave, he thought. But not much better either, when everything already reach a near end like this. Then, since there's a lot of things that seems a messy but actually still interesting, that needs an immediate attention to solve. So i kinda confuse what stopping point this series have at the end, when normally i expect this kind of show can only have a 13-episode length max. Or they pull the same treatment like Ao Ashi and extend their game to the second cour?

I honestly don't know, only time can tell all of that. So yeah, let's just wait to the next!

The cat is the best support character in the anime - the real MVP. No episode is complete without their appearance. Yusa, Sakaki and Matsuda are all good candidates though.

guess Sakaki's angry at himself for not being able to play at the same level as Ryou, interesting how Ryou's style of play was what got Sakaki interested in him but now because Ryou has surpassed him it is now hurting him instead. But I guess also overhearing why Ryou is playing doubles he feels it'd also be a disservice to Ryou when his reason for playing doubles is a lot more personal.

bwahaha Yusa is so hilarious when it comes to anything related to Rika!
doubles is totally different from singles and newbies would struggle when it comes to adapting it especially if your forte is singles.
4/5.

That was the worst date ever for the girls. And Matsuda is a jerk.

The dudes were busy having their own romance while the girls sat there like the 3idiots. Not cool guys.
