Jinx — Manga - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 shifts focus heavily toward the Team Black gym, where a new energy disrupts the status quo.

The chapter closes not with a victory but with a decision.

Yoongu actively pulls Dan aside to warn him to watch his step. Though another senior MMA fighter dismisses Yoongu's worries as mere paranoia, the underlying tension sets up a sense of impending danger right before Jaekyung steps into the frame to take Dan home.
