Embers chapter 8 Recap

Embers chapter 8, titled The Road to Greatness, Part 1, saw Yuga Takami and Noboru Haitani train with the A-Team. While Haitani wanted to make an impression, the A-Team players were surprisingly very welcoming of the two first years.

As for training, while Yuga Takami was facing physicality issues, Noboru Haitani impressed his teammates with his quick reflexes and physicality. That said, Haitani himself wasn't content with his performance. His defensive work was fine, however, he was lacking a lot in the other areas.

That's when Hikage took it upon herself to teach Haitani football tactics. While Haitani was reluctant about the secret training, he immediately agreed after he realized that it could help him become the greatest.

What to expect from Embers chapter 9?

Embers chapter 9 will most likely see Kosei High A-Team face off against Iba Seiryu for their first preliminary match. While Kosei High A-Team was strong and likely to win, Yuga Takami and Noboru Haitani were set to debut in the game. Hence, the manga could focus on them a lot.

In addition, the manga will reveal whether Noboru Haitani's special training with Hikage reaped any benefits. While Yukizuki and others believed that Haitani was acting stupid, there was a chance that he could prove them wrong during the match.
