WHO IS ASHITO AND SHUN'S FATHER?

Answer:

No one knows. But it is not Fukuda. That's for sure.

Until now, (volume 30), the author didn't mentioned him once. Maybe he's not planning on writing him, but knowing Kobayashi sensei, I wouldn't be surprised if he's gonna give us another bomb of an info in the future.

Here are some theories regarding Ashito and Shun's father

Maybe their father is already dead, and the author is not planning on writing him anymore because it's not really important. Afterall, sports series doesn't normally include character's backstories or families.

But we all know Ao Ashi is different. The author cherishes family and cares about character's backstories and family backgrounds especially for the main character Ashito Aoi, and he's not the type to leave something unanswered. So it's intriguing how he's not showing nor mentioning him at all.

Maybe the author has another surprise in his sleeve?

And that results to another theory.

This one is what I really like in all the theory: Ashito and Shun's father is a former football player or an experienced football player.

Noriko, their mother, doesn't know anything about football, nor interested in football. But surprisingly, Shun and Ashito are both very talented and passionate in football since they were young. So maybe they inherited these characteristics from their father. I'm also guessing, Ashito's bird's eye view ability and Shun's left foot is somewhat related to the existence of their father.

But unfortunately, maybe he left when Ashito was born (Shun is 1 year older than Ashito) to pursue his professional career in football. Maybe that's also why Noriko is very hesitant to let Ashito go to Esperion and play professionally because she feel like football is stealing one of her love ones again. She feel like Ashito is going to choose football and forgot about her later on like what their father did.

What we don't know though if their father is alive or not. And we don't know if Noriko and their father is in good terms or not. We don't know if they really broke up, or just lost contact to each other.

But seriously, I want him alive. I want a family reunion. Just imagine Ashito's father being also a very talented football player and showing up... isn't that awesome! I really hope the author wrote it like this.

I'm hoping!

BUT THESE ARE ALL JUST THEORIES

Maybe were just overthinking things. Maybe it's not that complicated. Maybe their father is just a simple man.

We're not sure, nobody knows what's gonna happen in the future. Only the author can decide about that.

But from the fact that Shun and Noriko have come this far in the story, dead or alive, I'm sure that their father's existence is also definitely meaningful.

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THEM? SO PRECIOUS🥰❤️

TATSUYA FUKUDA & HANA ICHIJOU'S RELATIONSHIP

Hana and Fukuda are step siblings. Fukuda is Hana's brother in law and Hana is Fukuda's sister in law.

They are not related by blood.

Fukuda's mother (probably windowed) & Hana's father (probably windowed) had remarried to each other when Hana and Fukuda are still young.

---------------

Some fans mistakes Hana's admiration to Fukuda as some kind of romantic admiration but that's not the case.

Yes, Hana said when she's still a child that she wants to marry Fukuda when they grew up but that's just a normal reaction from a girl child when they admire someone, don't you agree? Children tends to say things they don't fully understand because they just feel like it. It's not serious.

Hana has been a fan of Fukuda since it's prime days as a footballer, and she admires him by his talent. That's all there is. She and Fukuda supports each other as siblings until now.

[Spoiler Below — Skip of you don't wanna be spoiled]

Hana wanted to become a doctor/surgeon mainly because of her bother (Fukuda) who got injured seriously and ended his bright career early. She feel so bad that time, seeing her brother suffer and cry, that she can't do anything to help. So she promised herself that she will become someone who can help other people in times of needs.

Fukuda is the same. He supports Hana's decision to study abroad to become a doctor. He know Hana already made up her mind and is really sure about what she want.

I hope that answer your questions regarding their relationship.

Please read the manga to know more about them.

IS AO ASHI MANGA ENDING SOON? (2022)

Answer:

No it's not.

There was no official announcement or statement from the author (Kobayashi Yuugo) that says about the manga ending.

And by the looks of it, and based from the current situations in the manga, Ao Ashi still has a long way to go and is far from ending. The manga might be continued for another 5 to 10 years and we might probably still have World Cup, J1 league and Spain.

So it's safe to say, "No. It's far from ending."

---------------

"But some announcements in twitter says, "the author said it himself?"

Answer:

Ask them to provide source. If the author really said it, then give the link to his post or any magazine or news that says "there aren't many volumes left before Ao Ashi end".

Because he never said anything. You can trust me by this.

I've been following the author since 2016, one year after the manga has been published, and I never saw any post or interviews or news him saying "ao ashi is ending soon".

You can follow the official accounts of the author:

Just a reminder:

Don't trust anything without source. Only trust official announcements.

Don't worry, if the author gave an announcement regarding this matter, I'll inform you all right away.

I hope this cleared your questions.
