The way this manga makes high school boys beating each other up a thoroughly emotional and heartwrenching experience. You can literally see the ache in Sakura's eyes as he comes to the realization he might actually lose this fight and let down all of his new friends. I really hope he's not going to  accept Endo's offer and give into the deep part of himself that believes he doesn't deserve anything good. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of Umemiya's fight in future volumes.
