Yes, OP is great! I hope second will be also amazing!

I want announce of the second season already!

I know right! They are adapting around 4.6 chapters per episode. That means the first season will adapt around 110 chapters. The manga currently has 290+ chapters. Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed! Ao Ashi is very popular in Japan! And I.G. is the trusted studio who does amazing sport anime!!

The first opening by Alexandros was really good. I have high hopes for the second opening.
This was probably THE anime I was looking most forward to in spring season. Incredibly happy about it's continuation in summer season.

The first opening was such a banger idk how they'll top it. It can have better visuals though. Honestly, on of the best and most underrated shows of this season
