Readers can enjoy the manga on both Shueisha’s MANGA Plus platform and VIZ Media’s Shonen Jump application.
In the previous chapter, readers witnessed an exciting showdown as Yuga Takami and Noboru Haitani’s team triumphed over their opponents in the A-Team tryout, clinching a decisive 4-1 victory. While it was widely believed that only Takami, a newcomer, would secure a spot on the A-Team, Coach Shizuki Yukizuki surprised everyone by selecting Haitani as well, thereby relegating Inanaki to the B-Team. This development marks a significant progression as Takami and Haitani move forward to engage in A-Team training.

Chapter 7 Recap

In Chapter 7, entitled Our School’s Most Powerful Weapons, the narrative kicked off with the victorious moment for Yuga Takami and Noboru Haitani’s squad during the A-Team trials, achieving a notable 4-1 result. Contrary to expectations for Takami’s straightforward qualification, Coach Shizuki Yukizuki made the unexpected choice of promoting Haitani over Inanaki. This decision led to Inanaki’s demotion to the B-Team, a move he begrudgingly accepted after understanding Shizuki’s rationale. Subsequently, the chapter unfolds with Haitani and Takami gearing up for their first practice with the A-Team.
Expectations for Embers Chapter 8

Looking ahead to Chapter 8, we can anticipate a focus on the first training session for Noboru Haitani and Yuga Takami. This chapter is likely to introduce a host of new characters who will contribute significantly to the development of both players. Fans are expected to see Yuga performing competently during training, while Noboru may face some challenges. Additionally, tensions might arise as current members of the A-Team raise questions concerning Takami and Haitani’s presence, particularly in light of Inanaki’s recent relegation.
