Baby Steps Vol. 45 Raw Spoilers

Eiichiro Maruo—"Ei-chan"—chases the summit through cerebral tennis in Volume 45. His stacked analysis and endless repetition finally bear fruit: he can now trade blows with players who once shut him out completely, and he steps onto an even bigger stage. The more polished his style becomes, the more each match hinges on mental strength and split-second reads. Trusting his weapons, Ei-chan keeps hunting the best move on court, while his bond with Natsu quietly turns toward the future.
