About the author
Mitsuru Adachi
694 books220 followersMitsuru Adachi (あだち充 in Japanese) is a Japanese manga artist. After graduating from Gunma Prefectural Maebashi Commercial High School in 1969, Adachi worked as an assistant for Isami Ishii. He made his manga debut in 1970 with Kieta Bakuon, based on a manga originally created by Satoru Ozawa. Kieta was published in Deluxe Shōnen Sunday (a manga magazine published by Shogakukan).
Adachi is well known for romantic comedy and sports manga (especially baseball) such as Touch, H2, Slow Step, and Miyuki. He has been described as a writer of "delightful dialogue", a genius at portraying everyday life, "the greatest pure storyteller", and "a master manga artist". He is one of the few manga artists to write for shōnen, shōjo, and seinen manga magazines, and be popular in all three.
His works have been carried in manga magazines such as Weekly Shōnen Sunday, Ciao, Shōjo Comic, Big Comic, and Petit Comic, and most of his works are published through Shogakukan and Gakken. He was one of the flagship authors in the new Monthly Shōnen Sunday magazine which began publication in June 2009. Only two short story collections, Short Program and Short Program 2 (both through Viz Media), have been released in North America, though Viz is scheduled to begin publishing Cross Game in October 2010.
He modeled the spelling of あだち (rather than 安達) for his family name after the example of his older brother, manga artist Tsutomu Adachi. In addition, it has been suggested that the accurate portrayal of sibling rivalry in Touch may come from Adachi's experiences while growing up with his older brother. Adachi did the character designs for the OVA anime series Nozomi Witches, so he is sometimes incorrectly given credit for creating the original series.

And now it’s baseball heavy!
World: Beautiful and understated art that does so well with little dialog. The world building is strong here with a lot of emphasis on the tournament and the pieces of the baseball world.
Story: Baseball heavy, awesome. The last book was so melodramatic and awesome, now we get baseball awesome. The pacing is fun and done well and the human aspect is done well. Those small moments like with the glove make this so good.
Characters: The trio are great. The art really does a beautiful thing making these characters subtle and interesting. Those lingering looks are done well and speaks so much for development. Nice touches.
Good.
Onward to the next book!

This book was focused on baseball and even though I don't know the rules very well, it's quite gripping and I enjoyed the action-packed scenes.
But of course Adachi doesn't forget to sprinkle each volume with oh-so-human and sweet interactions, I loved the part where Tatsuya gets Kazuya a new glove, it was so bittersweet.

"The princess is the one who chooses, but there's no way she would choose the one who was seated. Jump onto the stage, Uesugi!"
Well said, Harada. Tatsuya much needed that wake up call before it's too late! Harada very soon become one of my favorite character here.
