| You know what the saddest part is? Maki's going to end up in juvie for parricide, and Touma's going to end up a neglected son. That means they're very unlikely to pair up again, much less play soft tennis or, heck, go to school. It's been one heck of a drama show, alright, and it's a show that I'll remember for quite some time. |
 |
| alright but where's the 2nd season bro? u think TONY's got time to mess around? i invested my time into this show. chop chop 2nd season. aint got all day 👌 |
| Well, that's sure a way to end things, with the only club member not clearly belonging on a suicide watch list going full opposite and about to murder someone instead. Not that it wasn't a great series, especially when dealing with the club, but no character here escapes being a total mess. Still, hopefully we'll see more, especially since the ending may have just bumped this ahead of Hagure Yuusha in terms of sequel hooks that should not be left hanging. |
 |
| They may have lost the final match but there is one thing they haven't lost.....yes indeed their club Wow that cliffhanger....Maki is finally going to give his 'lovely' dad the present he deserves Still, I didn't expect it to end like this with none of the drama's being solved. Really hope this gets a next season as I personally enjoyed it quite a bit and shit just hit the fan there, hopefully they can release it despite the abrupt stop in the originally planned 24-cour season |

AmeAmeAme said: uh this anime came way before COVID though?2. Covid-19. With the increasing of people who suffered from this virus everyday, i wouldn't be surprised if the reason they decided to limit the eps is to decreased the chance for the virus to infect the animation staff who often goes overwork and get sick from the decreasing vitality & antibody. |
AmeAmeAme said: 1. The sudden cut of the eps is a "punishment" from the higher up to the studio for the dance-plagiarized controversy few months ago. I know the problem were solved already but we still don't know what happened exactly at the back of the screen. Wrong, as it was already decided on Spring of last year. |

At that time Toma's mother would have been breaking the news of her divorce to Ryoma, who afterwards rushed over to see Toma.KANLen09 said: - Toma FINALLY knowing the truth of him and Rintaro being brothers while Ryoma was ONE STEP TOO LATE... . What do you mean? Toma's mother can't be Rintaro's birth mother, it makes no sense why she would be wanting to know him? And they should be twins, why would she choose to keep Toma but give away Rintaro? Plus, the story that Rintaro tells about his birth mother (that she was so young and wasn't married that she couldn't rise a children) doesn't fit with Toma's mother, I mean she is married and already had Ryoma when she had Toma. What make you think that Rintaro and Toma are brothers? But who else was Ryoma referring to when he said he would "protect those two"? |

Sinnerrat said: Can anyone help me find the manga ? There is no manga, it's an original work. Meaning it didn't come from a manga or light novel |
| This was a fantastic roller coaster of a series, with a lot of effort at showing us the drama in the lives of several of the characters. The cliffhanger ending is incredible. But where is season 2? Waiting and waiting and waiting! |
| yickkss need more dramaaa |
 |
| I would love to get to see more of this. I am a little bit sad to see the overwhelming complainsts with respect to the parents' portrayal, in my experience (as someone who was rejected for being different) the show accurately shows what tragedy is going within the four walls of seemingly ordinary families. Does anyone with more insight in the scene know what is going on? Would be very grateful if someone could say if there will be more of this? |
| This episode was disappointing. I mean, I know Maki is some kind of soft tennis prodigy, but him and Touma almost beating the national champions was a bit much. Maki barely has three months of experience and Touma was not portrayed as some brilliant player on any moment as far as I remember. That ending with the knife also didn't make any sense for Maki's character. He did threaten his father on that one episode, but he was always shown as a kind and wise boy (sometimes unbelievably so for a middle schooler). This dark twist just came out of nowhere. There was no build up for it at all. However, I still enjoyed this anime for all it tried to discuss in just 12 episodes, such as LGBTQIA+ representation, bullying, all the pressure towards young people in Japanese society, mental health issues, awful parenting... And I have to say that all the boys and Mitsue were likeable characters. Despite the show's faults, it was fun seeing their growth and how they bonded with each other. 7/10 for me (hoping it gets a second season someday). |

| I just hope there's a season 2 so that way I can see them all be happy |
| Deep down, we all have trash taste |
| this was just a good show but... i’m sorry what just happened?? i thought this was about tennis and suddenly it’s about murder! this better get a season 2. |
| Biggest cliff hanger in anime history? LOL. Did he rape her mom or something? I'm really pissed about this part since if he comes over like every week and beats him, he could easily hide a camera or use his phone somewhere and record him doing it and boom, happy ending. |

I'm really pissed about this part since if he comes over like every week and beats him, he could easily hide a camera or use his phone somewhere and record him doing it and boom, happy ending. I feel like his mother is complicit somehow, or he already has some way to see what Maki is doing in the apartment. I mean, for instance he found the money hidden in the air conditioner. How could he know it's there unless someone told him? I really hope they continue this story... If not another 12 episodes, then maybe as a movie? |
     |
| The cliffhanger!!!O_O Also I’m dying here!!T-T there’s no manga. I really wanted to see what happened |
| I just decided to catch up this show and damn this ending.... I loved it, seriously, drama and sport and school life is really a hit. Too few series pass this drama aspect of life. Life we only see matches and club activities in others sports animes, but here we see them struggling in their life. That's why I really love this show, but I didn't expected the drama winning over the sport and friendship, it's unique when a serie isn't all about passion or friendship. I really hope they will give us a movie, or the last 12 episodes to show what they had in mind for their future. Seem like the director want to work of them. Also psycho Maki ? totally a mood, I love it.  |

| Would call this a disappointing ending. We still getting drama at the last minute of the episode, what were they even thinking. Also, seeing killing someone "scene" or saying I'll kill you is a bad influence definitely for teens or generally people. I know this kind of events really happen, but the drama events are not so even detailed, that some has even left me confused. It's a mashed up rushed trying to prove showing drama just like that anime.. 4/10 really leaves a bad taste in my mouth whenever i think of it. |

| Well, seeing the "Sport" genre and "12 Episodes" surely meant there is something horrific awaits, and I wasn't disappointed I don't know if it was cutting it short or what but the anime tried to do too much and it really didn't know whether to follow the sport or the drama and in the end it didn't conclude either Such a waste |
