why would he hate eijun he literally drew an entire manga about him
haven't seen the actual interview so don't quote me on this, but i read somewhere when he was asked why he didn't make furuya the mc instead tj's reply had been that he should've done that.. so i do believe he hates eijun to some degree
im a certified furuya hater but you can really tell at times that the author prefers him, because nowhere in the story is Furuya skilled or reliable but everyone treats him like he is even though it’s not shown. i think the author likes how flashy Furuya is. it makes me sad because there’s so much to explore in Sawamuras character and future in baseball… but the author said he couldn’t imagine how to continue a story where Sawamura kept on being the main character. (it also makes me a bit sad because Furuya could have been more interesting if given more space and development but he just treats Sawamura roughly and isn’t given any actual development but at the very end)
The manga already ended, this is just sole short spin off that mangaka said that he reallllyyy want to draw, and its teito vs ugu
Like...who the heck caress?? U really hate sawamura, huh? Just make a short story bout sawamura is rocking at koshien pleassee
