Embers chapter 3 will be available to read on Shueisha's MANGA Plus and VIZ Media's Shonen Jump platforms. The third manga chapter can be read for free on both platforms.

The only exception to this is the MANGA Plus application, which allows fans to read all chapters for free, albeit only once. Surprisingly, the platform's website has no option for a premium membership.

Embers chapter 2 Recap

Embers chapter 2, titled Encounters, saw Noboru Haitani chasing after Hikage hoping to return the wallet she had dropped. Hence, seeing the football team manager in danger, the team captain Kaoru Bugai confronted Haitani. This is when he learned that Haitani had applied to become a player on their team. But after concluding him to be a thug and amateur footballer, Bugai rejected his application.

This development led to a one-on-one match between Bugai and Haitani. If Haitani were to win, he could join the team. While Haitani wasn't great at attack, he was brilliant at defense and stopped Bugai from making a proper move. That's when Hikage arrived to stop the match.

She learned that Haitani was actually trying to help her, so the match was unnecessary. Nevertheless, Bugai was happy with this development, as he finally found a player who was great at stealing balls.

What to expect from Embers chapter 3?

As fans might remember, the manga's previous chapter ended with Noboru Haitani running into Yuga Takami. While, for Takami, Haitani may not have been a significant opponent from his middle school. However, for Haitani, Takami had humiliated him, pushing him to pursue football in his high school.

Therefore, fans can expect Embers chapter 3 to feature a confrontation between the two players. In addition, fans can expect to see Noboru Haitani join practice for the first time in his new team.
