Since some people were interested in this, we're doing a collective reread of NPoT this month while there are no new chapters to discuss. I'm not sure whether or not we'll make it through all 177 chapters, but we shall see.
So how is this going to work? Basically I'm going to determine a few chapters - probably 5 to 7, but I'll try to have logical cut-off points - and we'll discuss them for about a day.
Pretty much any topic is fine, really, the only rule is that whatever you decide to talk about has to be relevant to the chapters that are up for discussion on that day.
Without further ado, Day 1 - Chapters 1 - 7. These chapters feature:
Some comments from my side to start us off. This is the first time I've actually noticed that the HSers complain about having to babysit the MSers for 3 weeks (well, it says 3 days in the scan, but I'll be shocked if that's not a translation error). This incidentally matches up extremely well with the timeline of the events we were shown and also means we know about pretty much everything that happened in the camp.
Other than that, if you think about it, two pairs in the elimination tiebreaks were really weird. Namely the Jimmies pairing up with Ryoma and Hirakoba respectively instead of each other. It doesn't even change anything regarding the results since Hirakoba won and Ryoma was disqualified. Is there some reason Ryoma couldn't have been paired up with Hirakoba?
Finally, Yagyuu must be the strongest guy who never gets matches if you look at both PoT and NPoT. I'd like to know how he would fare against Niou now / before the reps went to their training camp.

Without further ado, Day 1 - Chapters 1 - 7. These chapters feature:
- Ryoma boarding a train in one of the most flashy ways imaginable.
- Some random HSers getting beaten badly.
- First Tokugawa - Yukimura comparison.
- Oni breaking Momoshiro's wrists.
- The opening of the elimination tiebreaks.
