Embers chapter 7 Recap

Embers chapter 7, titled Our School's Most Powerful Weapons, opened with Yuga Takami and Noboru Haitani's team winning the A-Team tryouts with a 4-1 score. While everyone expected the two A-Team players to retain their spots and Yuga Takami to join them, Coach Shizuki Yukizuki picked Noboru Haitani over Inanaki.

This means that Inanaki was to be demoted to the B-Team. While Inanaki was mad at Shizuki for her verdict, he accepted his demotion after hearing her reasoning. Later, the manga saw Noboru Haitani and Yuga Takami meet the remaining A-Team players for their first training session.

What to expect from Embers chapter 8?

Embers chapter 8 will most likely focus on Noboru Haitani and Yuga Takami participating in their first team training. With that, the manga will likely introduce fans to several new characters who will play a key role in Haitani and Takami's development.

As for training, while fans can expect Yuga Takami to fare well compared to the rest of the Kosei High Team, Noboru Haitani would likely face some shortcomings. In addition, fans can expect some of the existing players to question Takami and Haitani's inclusion in the first team, especially due to Inanaki's demotion to B-Team.
