But I feel like I would have enjoyed it 100 times better if I actually understood how baseball works.
Still 2 more things prevent me from max rating it: *The smut It came out of nowhere for no reason, and season 2 literally starts with a sex scene that didn't even happen chronologically. That wAsnt necessary. * The whole smell thing. It seemed important for the plot but gradually disappeared, just to pop here and there in the dialogues but in the end, it was also unnecessary and almost forgotten...
The art was okay, translation too, but this book is, objectively, pretty mid as whole, especially if you don't know a thing about baseball. It wasn't as well done haikyu (anime) where you learn along the terms and rules of volleyball so it was confusing, some might even find it boring.
Ah there's also one thing that disturbs me a lot about school life stories, if anybody could enlighten me I'd be grateful: Why do these kids live like ADULTS??? Wouldn't be more logic and efficient to just draw and write about adults if you're going to depict the characters as such? Seeing these 15 yo kids living alone, without any rules, parents and basic safe child environment makes me very uneasy.
