Blue Lock chapter 311 spoilers - Is Kira back?
Ryosuke Kira is a young forward known for his time with the Matsukaze Kokuō High School soccer team. Alongside Yoichi Isagi, he was selected to join the prestigious and highly competitive Blue Lock Project, an ambitious initiative designed to create Japan's ultimate striker. Unfortunately, Kira's journey in Blue Lock was cut short: he failed the entrance exam and became one of the first 25 players to be eliminated, losing to Isagi himself in the very first selection match.

Despite his early exit, Kira remained a memorable character for many fans, partly because of the dramatic way his elimination set the tone for the ruthless nature of Blue Lock. He was introduced as the "Jewel of Japanese Soccer" For a long time, there was speculation and hope that Kira might somehow return to the story. Recently, this anticipation exploded when a leaked image appeared online, seemingly showing Kira's photo included on an important list. This leak sparked a wave of excitement and heated discussions across the fandom, with many wondering if the series was setting the stage for Kira's long-awaited comeback.
While it's important to remember that nothing has been confirmed yet and this buzz is based entirely on unofficial leaks, fans won't have to wait much longer to see what's really going on when the chapter is officially released. Still, if the leak turns out to be true, it suggests that Kira could finally be getting a shot at redemption, a twist that many have been hoping to see since his dramatic elimination at the start of the series.

Lessons from a tea ceremony, ‘gong fu' style
Gift this article On Instagram, I stumbled upon the @theteadrunk, and was pleasantly surprised to find another teahead in Bengaluru. What's more, he was hosting a gong fu tea session. Gong fu is a Chinese style of tea brewing, and is well suited for speciality teas, but rather uncommon in India. On Instagram, I stumbled upon the @theteadrunk, and was pleasantly surprised to find another teahead in Bengaluru. What's more, he was hosting a gong fu tea session. Gong fu is a Chinese style of tea brewing, and is well suited for speciality teas, but rather uncommon in India. So last Saturday, I made my way to Sai Karthik (The Tea Drunk) and his wife Maitreyee Bezbaroa's home for an evening of tea, gong fu style. 'I started exploring tea about six years ago and organically moved towards eastern brewing practices because they offered much greater precision in brewing tea," he says. It took him to a tea master in Malaysia, who introduced him to the specifics of gong fu brewing and trained him. Early this year, Karthik began hosting tea-tasting sessions 'to offer folks a glimpse into tea appreciation." It packs in his learnings, and he generously opens his enviable collection of tea to others. By the time I arrived, the gong fu tray was set up, the gooseneck kettle on the ready, the Yixing teapot, the lidded gaiwan bowl, the little cups, and even a Japanese kyusu teapot, were all laid out. Also Read | India's very own tea ceremony We began with a peony white from Arya tea estate in Darjeeling, a tea that was wonderfully easy to like, followed by a very tippy black tea from Rujani tea in Assam. This was a familiar favourite for me, but again, I was struck by its sweetness, and how a great Assam black tea needs nothing else to embellish it. With each tea, Karthik shared information about the tea itself, where it came from and what made it worth our time. Bezbaroa had paired the teas with wagashi-style (traditional Japanese confections) small eats, which began with a pandan-coconut jelly followed by some hojicha and chai mochi, chosen to complement the tea. The oolong was the big middle and Karthik had planned this part with three Chinese classics—beginning with the Tie Guan Yin (on the greenish end of the scale) to the Phoenix Dancong (a Duckshit Snowflake that I had enjoyed once and found that I still enjoyed just as much as before) ending with the darker Wuyi rock oolong with its deeply earthy mineral notes. These were paired with a nutty mango tart. For each of these teas, we did about three steeps, and it gave us plenty of room to pause and take in the spectrum we had covered, along with general chatter and getting to know everyone who had gathered for tea. 'I wanted to contribute to developing Bengaluru's tea scene. We've hosted 12 sessions so far," says Karthik. The last tea for the day was a green, specifically a Japanese gyokuro, with a nice big hit of umami paired with an Assamese koldil (banana flower) curry pufflet. I had wondered about the three hours for a tea session, but emerging three hours and several cups of tea later, it made sense. It made for a most enjoyable evening, not too demanding if one is unfamiliar and with plenty to discover about tea.

The author Russia sentenced: 5 detective novels by Boris Akunin
Boris Akunin carved his literary legacy with detective novels set in imperial Russia, works that made him one of the country's most beloved authors. Now, the same pen has made him a wanted man. A Russian military court sentenced Akunin in absentia to 14 years in prison for voicing support for Ukraine and criticising President Putin's rule. Writing under the pen name Boris Akunin, Grigori Chkhartishvili redefined crime fiction for a post-Soviet readership. His most famous creation is Erast Fandorin, a Russian detective with Japanese swordsmanship. These mysteries are filled with conspiracies and the menace of unchecked power. That's what has made his books beloved by readers and threatening to those in power. Here are 5 detective novels that brought Boris Akunin global fame and continue to be relevant today. This is where the game begins. A promising young student shoots himself in a public park in 1876 Moscow and no one seems particularly surprised. Except for Erast Fandorin, new to the force and already too perceptive for his own good. A puzzling suicide turns into a tangle of clues. A photograph of a mysterious woman, an English orphanage, a will rewritten just before death. A whodunit that shows how easily one life can fall apart. A single question can echo across continents- what really happened? Fandorin is just trying to understand a world that doesn't always make sense. And that hunger for truth is what makes Boris Akunin's detective truly unforgettable. A mansion in Paris. Ten bodies. One golden whale shaped key. The trail leads to the Leviathan, a luxury steamship sailing to Calcutta, and now a crime scene at sea. Among the suspects are- a secretive doctor, a relic obsessed aristocrat and a Swiss woman with secrets. Also aboard is none other than Erast Fandorin, unbothered by the waves or the rising body count. A locked-room mystery. And a floating theatre of suspicion, where manners mask murder and every alibi is rehearsed. Claustrophobic and tightly plotted. A must-read for locked-room mystery fans. The city is dressed in gold and expectation. Moscow prepares for the grand coronation of Tsar Nicholas II and that's when chaos strikes. The heir to the throne is kidnapped. A deadly ransom demand follows. Then enters Erast Fandorin, who must solve this mystery. A case of abduction that quickly turns into a critique of power and corruption. With time slipping away, Fandorin races against court politics and cold-blooded villains to rescue the future of Russia. Trains, spies, ninjas and a double life across continents. In 1905, Fandorin races to stop Japanese sabotage along the Trans-Siberian Railway. Bombs tick and war hangs heavy in the air. But the real origin of this conflict is decades earlier. We rewind to 1870s Japan. A younger Fandorin arrives in Yokohama. He learns swordplay, earns scars, meets Masa and uncovers a murder. This case quickly takes a turn into betrayal and heartbreak. Past and present collide in a gripping finale that bridges two eras and reveals what truly forged Erast Fandorin. War is chaos. But in Akunin's hands, even the battlefield becomes a chessboard. In 1877, amid the Russo-Turkish War, Erast Fandorin is sent to the front, undercover and still recovering from past wounds. His mission is to unmask a saboteur tipping the war's balance. He's joined by Varvara Suvorova, a journalist with no love for empire or for men like Fandorin. But when her fiancé is accused of spying, she's forced to rethink everything. As ideologies blur, so do the loyalties drawn in war. A taut, slow-burn mystery where alliances shift like the frontlines. (The writer is an intern with
