The gayest one yet. 
And I'm not kidding with this one, karasu fr told hiori "you fit through some tight spaces... that's kinda hot". And shido is as gay as can be. Saying he's gonna come all over the field, that playing with sae is making him throb like never before, wanting his number, wanting to be his roomate and play footbal/soccer with him forever. Depending on the translation, shido also says some zesty stuff like "i love it when you're rough". I love that crazy football playing gyaru so much.

Gayness aside, this one was a banger. It was such a fun read - the action was really well made, the tension ran high, it kept you on your toes. Seeing some of the parents and family was also quite nice.

We get a backstory on rin and sae's relationship in this one, and, ngl, it only made me dislike rin more. Truly, he has become my most disliked character. Sae has his flaws, but I find him far more likable than rin, and he became a more sympathetic character after the backstory (and his interactions with shido are sooo funny too).
