Summary
Most Shonen agonist are righteous bastions of morality , but one ofShonen Jump ’s more recent heroes hitch that trend in a brisk way . That character is Yaesaki from the golf game mangaGreen Green Greensby Kento Terasaka , and despite his low moral standards he is still an enjoyable hero to settle down for . The reason for this comes part in the nature of his manga .
In chapter 4 , translate by Christine Dashiell with lettering by Brendon Hull , Yaesaki gravel into a rival with a more experient and sinewy golfer named Chikara , with his power to stay on at the order where he go on the lineage . After check that he is at a major disadvantage once Chikara unleash a annihilating baseball swing , Yaesaki tender him a glove given to him by Chikara ’s crush .
This underhand tactics is meant to prevent Chikara from swing too intemperately and thus wear out out his dearest ’s glove . Yaesaki is called out for this behavior and he acknowledges that it is underhanded , but he does n’t care as long as he can go along to diddle the summercater he have a go at it .
Green Green Greens’s Yaesaki is More Pathetic Than OtherShonen JumpHeroes
This is a perfect contrast to many other Shonen booster who concur much loftier ideals . This is especially true of many protagonists in other sports manga , as average play is see as essential with the hero ’s attainment get through hard piece of work and practice . Yaesaki is still a novice at golf so he ca n’t bank on win through reasonable competition . Thus he must mirror the tactics on many mutant manga villains and cheat his way to victory . This put him more in line withcharacters like Yoichi fromBlue Lockthan Hinata fromHaikyu ! ! . However , unlike Isagi his devious tactics are n’t impersonate as being cool , rather they are shown to be poor .
This might have made Yaesaki an unlikable character if presented differently , but here it just make him seem relatable . While translate about Shonen supporter who are course talented or so devoted to their goal that they become incredibly brawny can be fun , it does n’t muse reality for many reader . That is fine most of the time , as these quality can be aspirational and inspire reader to better themselves . But it is refreshing to see a character who both recognize that they are not particularly talented and is also willing to execute a realistically underhanded activeness to right for that .
Yaesaki is Refreshing Compared to OtherShonen JumpHeroes
In a genre whose protagonist are often dusty rehashings of standard image , Yaesaki is refreshingly pathetic . If the other character inGreen Green Greensprove to be similarly innovative , then this series may turn out to bea fresh approach to Shonen sports manga . Hopefully , Shonen Jumpallows it to last long enough to realize its full potentiality instead of consigning it to the Under 19 Club before it catch a chance to shine .
