That was epic! The chapter and the whole match :D

No ass pulls, just Maruo winning it with his own strength >.< Dat last superman hit was so BOSS!

Can't wait to see more reactions of his win :3

WOW....just wow what a finish.They both did well countering every shot but Maruo reflex win that match or is it his sixth sense...love how everyone looks so surprise about the last ball.Now Maruo's parent will be with him 100% and they saw how strong their son is just having started tennis for almost 2 years i think.
Maruo also improve a lots in this match and use so many tactics to win this.Anyway can't wait for everyone reaction next chapter.....

Yes!

Oh this was a satisfying win. The opponent was just that incredibly strong. Such a hard game for Maruo, but one that helped push him to grow. He gained a weapon that was a great threat and made full use of it at the end here. Definitely deserved this one.

Well, it started around chapter 213-214, so it was the longest match by quite a few chapters unless I am mistaken

It was reaaaaally drawn out and I am glad it's over.

edit: don't get me wrong, I loved the match, it was just stressful! Who knew a sports manga would get me invested like this? I don't even like tennis.

Maruo deceived Ogata twice when he was waiting for a jump shot, that's the kind of winning moves I like to see from Maruo, not brute force, but strategy. This is what makes this manga so good!

Whew, that was amazing! The chapter title made it feel like it was going to be dragged out even further, but I think the match was wrapped up quite nicely. I'm so glad that Maruo won with his skill and determination rather than getting lucky. Everyone has to acknowledge him now.

I get the feeling he is about to get recruiting visits from both corporate sponsors and universities.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Likely my favorite match so far, it had so much depth and great moments.

I feel like Ogata was easily one of the favorites to win, and if that's the case things aren't looking too bad for Maruo.
