Embers chapter 2 will be available to read on Shueisha's MANGA Plus and VIZ Media's Shonen Jump platforms. Both platforms will allow fans to read the second chapter for free. However, as the manga releases future chapters, fans should remember that they will only be able to read the first three and the latest three chapters.

The only exception is the MANGA Plus application, which allows fans to read other chapters for free, albeit only once. Surprisingly, the platform's website neither has such a feature nor allows fans to opt for a premium membership.

Embers chapter 1 Recap

Embers chapter 1, titled Noboru Haitani, introduced fans to the protagonist, revealing that he was the strongest brawler in middle school. However, his teacher, Oshimi-sensei refused to give up on him and redirected his focus to football by challenging him with different tasks. As Haitani started to get better, Oshimi-sensei proposed that he play in a real match.

Haitani had never played in a match, but he wanted to try it. Hence, his friends joined him and represented their school's team. They faced off against Aota Academy, a team featuring middle school football prodigy Yuga Takami. While Haitani lost to Takami by a landslide, he refused to give up and got accepted to Kosei University affiliated school, hoping to become the greatest footballer.

What to expect from Embers chapter 2?

Embers chapter 2 will most likely showcase Noboru Haitani's first day at his new high school. While other students were scared of him due to his delinquent nature, he was solely focused on wanting to join the football club. Even the girl at the desk remembered him from his match-up against Takami the previous year.

Additionally, as hinted at by the color page for the first chapter, Yuga Takami will also be a student at the same high school as Haitani. Hence, fans can expect the two characters to have an exchange in the upcoming chapter.
