That was a bit overly dramatic.

Well, I just got what I was asking for, but that was quite unpleasant to see. The fact the coach is the actual person in power angers me: HE confronted Hiromi (rather than having her realize that herself), HE imposed her to make a choice (instead of her coming to this question by herself) and HE ultimately made the decision for her.

4/5

The struggle was real for Oka,but in the end tennis has the higher priority,even tho Munakata vigorously intervened.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This, very much this, this episode made me feel very uncomfortable and I wasn't sure why, this post made me realize that it was exactly what they described. It even feels a bit out of character for Coach to act this way rather than make her see things for herself. I guess it HAD to do the big strong man laying down the law thing at some point just because this is 70s japan, but still..

Hiromi's love for Toudou was affecting her play, and the coach realized this, so he gave her an ultimatum. She'll bottle up her feelings at least until she's gone pro, and Toudou understands this, and will wait for her.

This may seem harsh to some, but this is something that Hiromi only has one chance at.

LOL, are you fucking kidding me? These people must be kidding themselves, whoever thought this shit was "powerful" lol. The only thing that was, was absolutely hilarious, that it came across as a parody.
