About the author
Mitsuru Adachi
693 books221 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.

Ultimo volume che finalmente ci dà alcune risposte - tanto per dirne una, Ami si dichiara al ragazzo del suo cuore -, ma molte cose vengono lasciate in sospeso: a dirla tutta, non sapevo se ridere o piangere. Ma almeno un bacetto, no (ci avevo sperato soprattutto durante la vacanza in montagna)? E' chiedere troppo? (Certo, pure Ami poteva trovare un modo meno astruso per comunicare i suoi sentimenti, tipo parlare faccia e faccia e non registrare strani messaggi su cassetta, ma vabbé...) E poi, dopo aver passato cinque volumi in attesa del tanto atteso confronto tra Keisuke e Nakashini ai nazionali, Adachi non ci mostra nemmeno la gara!
Spassosissimo è il rapporto tra i genitori dei due protagonisti: quelli di Keisuke e la mamma di Ami appoggiano in pieno questo strano rapporto, ma il padre della ragazza non vuole assolutamente rassegnarsi, anche se, forse forse, alla fine si apre un piccolo spiraglio.
E insomma, questo manga finisce qui. Francamente mi aspettavo un pochino di più dal finale, almeno un contentino e invece nulla. Niente da dire invece per quanto riguarda la storia in generale e lo stile dei disegni. Un buon riscaldamento prima di approcciare "Touch"!

I was a bit startled by the end of Rough, although I saw it coming between the lines. It has a typical open end though, for some aspects and it left me curious to know what did happen to our protagonists after that episode.
The story starts very slow and it opens the window over the life of some teenagers who are starting up high school and are busy with their sport. It is a story of friendship, daily episodes and sport passion. I think the characters are quite well defined from the beginning and they do not go through some subversive evolution, they rather mature as it is supposed to be, due to age and when they find their own direction.
The real hero is definitely Keisuke. I think for how wonderful Ami might be, she appears to the reader to have tracts that are questionable.
I was afraid to find something too similar to "Touch", but despite the setting being not dissimilar and the fact that Adachi is not having a very elaborated drawing style, I found this manga more delicate and introspective than Touch. Almost like a watercolor paint over some teenagers school life.
