I don't blame the announcers for not noticing. Koh is playing against the Ryuoh batting lineup, while the other pitcher only needs to be wary of 2-3 batters. Also, Koh has faced the enemy 4th batter head on, while Azuma was walked (albeit unintentionally) by the other pitcher.
Peace.
You're just in time for 147:

Had to upload it myself since the direct link on their site seems to be broken.
Looks like things are starting to get real interesting. I'm glad to see that Oikawa's no-hitter is a thing of the past.
Azuma is an absolute monster. He should have hit those pitches before and demoralized the enemy's pitcher, but the decision based on efficiency during the walks were more like Azuma, I guess.
I hope the enemy doesn't score at all. Almost scoring is fine for the suspense, but actually scoring against Koh would make his effort and talent look slightly cheaper than I would want it.
I hope Akaishi gets coupled with Akane, and Koh with Aoba. Akaishi needs a real happy ending as well. Azuma can just play with his stick and balls the rest of his life and probably enjoy it more that way.
Peace.
I agree with Akaishi and Akane. I always felt that Akaishi pushed Akane on Koh at the expense of his own happiness.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
I wouldn't want to see Koh with Aoba. Dating your dead girlfriend's younger sister just doesn't seem right to me. I wonder how Ichi-nee and the others would react to that as well.
I think the family would welcome it. Only Azuma and the the climber would complain, and maybe Akane since she likes Koh.
Wait, if you want Akane with Akaishi, and don't want Aoba with Koh, what ending do you envision? Koh lives on alone remembering his dead first love? That is kind of tragic.
Please don't tell me it is KohXAzuma.
Peace.
Its obvious Aoba will end up with Koh. Specially since the old reference since volume 1 about that Aoba will only like a guy who can pitch at 160 km/h. Somehow I have a feeling Wakaba knew Aoba liked him more than Aoba thought and that is why she told her 'I won't hand him to you'.
Akaishi still needs to get Akane though.
I wouldn't mind seeing him walk off into the sunset alone as a champion. I just don't want to see a younger sister ending, even though that's where it seems to be headed. Hopefully somewhere down the line, he'll fall for a girl from a rival school or something.
Ugh, no.

I think cross game is almost over. After they win the Koshien, the couples will form (somewhat, since Adachi always leaves endings relatively hanging) and the story will end.
Peace.

Sucks that it's a double issue. Gonna have to wait 2 weeks for the next one.
Loved chapter 148, particularly Aoba's reaction to Koh's 158kmh fastball. Do you guys think Koh will manage to shut this guys down, particularly Mishima? He has to do something at some point right?

Seems that Adachi is taking another break. Next chapter won't be out until mid November at the earliest.
Nooooo
Bah, Terrible Cliffhanger.
Geesh, these recent chapters seem to be taking forever, lol. A whole chapter for half an inning. And now a long wait..
Damn, another break. But November is right there so the wait shouldn't be long. Damn cliffhanger though, and it'll be interesting to see Koh pitch intro extra innings. I thought he would simply load up the bases or walk some people to get to the rival one last time or something along those lines.
How do you see this playing out? I think there's a good possiblity of them losing, but Koh hitting 160.. but I would like the idea of them winning, but Koh only reaching 159, and be a bit dissapointed in the results even if they won.
We'll see.
