Embers chapter 11 Recap

Embers chapter 11, titled The Best, saw Noboru Haitani hold off Gonza Kaneda by leaving him off-balance using his physique. However, Haitani wasn't satisfied with holding him off as that would not let him gain possession of the ball. Until he was to win the ball's possession, there was no way his team could initiate a counterattack.

Moments later, Noboru Haitani won an aerial duel against Gonza Kaneda by taking a run-up. This mid-air win saw the Kosei High team initiate a counterattack that saw Yuga Takami score their team's equalizer. Just as Haitani wished that Oshimi-sensei had come to see him play, the manga revealed that the teacher was watching Haitani from the sidelines.

What to expect from Embers chapter 12?

Embers chapter 12 will most likely see the manga reveal the conclusion for the Iba Seiryu vs. Kosei High team. With Noboru Haitani having identified how he could defeat Gonza Kaneda mid-air, the chances are that the match will resume pretty much the same way. Hence, Kosei High could score a couple more goals to turn the tide their way.

The only alternate possibility is that Kaneda tries to stop Haitani by fouling him. However, such a development could only see him receive a booking. Later, the manga could see Noboru Haitani reunite with his teacher, Oshimi-sensei.
