Who even is the shopkeeper? It seems this blood thirsty psycho only cares about the shopkeepers opinion so who even are they? Did we already meet them and I forgot or are we yet to see them?

Shopkeepers come so many times in this story he's yor's direct boss. Leader of garden, your's assassination group. So obviously only the direct superiors words matter the most to him. We got to see a little bit of his backstory last chapter when the chief of SSS was talking to him. Have you read the previous chapter even?

Today (May 6th) btw is Nagi's birthday did kaneshiro perfectly timed this our or something wtf dud all this happen just before bros birth? And ofc Isagi is aura farming during most of the chapter
And ofc Rin is sitting by himself being edgy about NOTHING. Sane with kunigami like damn bro crack a smile?? Just a small !??

I didn't start reading this manga to be holding back from throwing my phone screaming and even struggling to read dialogue/monologue bc of how attach I became to these characters, shit felt to real, I thought [Hirayasumi] did it well but this random ass manga I just stumbled upon with the most random title actually has me in the feels, in the blues, in the deeps.

I was scrolling through Ao3 and there's already an actor au about chapter 300 that goes to show how angsty this chapter was
No but Ao3 authors are QUICK with it I swear, most of the fics are all hurt no comfort and angst tho, instead of coping they want to feel worst

I am sorry, I will come back??? I wasted my own potential??? Nagi what are you going to say this god damn cut off of a cliffhanger
I don't like how calm his expression is tho after his expression was not shown for a good few panels I generally have no clue what Nagi wil say or do next, (if he comes back will he be reborn as an unpredictable genius??? Random thought)
Tho the way everything Ego is saying is right is just agonizing, after all it's the truth that pains you the most.
I swear Reo and Nagi just can't get a singular happy arc together and it all started bc of blue lock.
Seeing one of my fa blue lock pairs like this tho generally hurts like I think I teared up with Reo over ts
I might startidentifying as a kilometer per second asI might just km/s bc of ts(corny ass line but it's resonates with me at the moment)

In chapter 298 when Nagi passes to reo after deciding there will be no other option offly reminds me of Isagi in chapter 1 when he passed to his teammate and ultimately lost. I may be reading to much into it but I swear it seems so similar but I can't help but believe this'll be a huge turning point for Nagi. Then again I didn't read the recent chapter yet so I'll see if this theory(?) changes in a few mins.
Also 298 + 1 = 299 so I'm going to say this helps my theory more (it lowke doesn't??)

I was thinking that too! How it definitely is reminiscent of Isagi's initial character with the losing move in whatever highschool he goes to. Isagi was able to improve by going to blue lock and ditching the team mindset. Nagi went to blue lock but was always reliant on a team, he made all of his moves with Reo then Isagi helped and then was just always relying on someone due to his lack of ethusiasm then creativity. Leaving Blue Lock and Reo would force Nagi to stand on his own if he still plays. If there actually is a parallel, maybe we might even see Kira and Nagi and there'll be some poetic jazz since Kira caused Isagi to lose in that first match we see and well yeah but also I just want to see Kira come back for a second
Ik for a fact the authors gonna plot some bs just to make Happy miserable, I rly don't trust authors cause atp they be throwing around their own mcs?
I wish Happy nothing but through happiness but reading this story tells me that's not going to happen, at least easily
