Eyeshield 21 314

Japanese ES21 readers are ****** (self-censoring >.>)

Well, maybe they aren't, but still, them not supporting the manga for the few chapters after the Christmas Bowl is what probably caused this arc to be rushed. I'm not saying it should have been 20 chapters longer so far, but I think Schultz and his German friends should have been worth a few chapters at least. Schultz is pretty much the equivalent of Hajime no Ippo's Volg, a guy that plays without real love for the sports and ends up being moved by the hero's passion, a character archetype that we didn't see yet in the manga. Such a shame, damnit >.<

That still won't prevent me from supporting ES21 until the end, though. In the meantime, enjoy Agon and Gaou's awesomeness~
