Regional preliminary round 4. Akikawa Academy’s Ace, Yang, is coolly taking Seido apart! Seido regrettably lets Akikawa Academy gain points to start the game, and they’re sucked into their opponent’s rhythm. And then first pitcher Furuya reaches the end of his stamina under the hot rays of the summer sun... “I want to pitch until the end!” he thinks, responding to the cheers of his team with a burning tenacity. But then he hears a call for a pitcher change...! To Furuya’s chagrin, it’s time for Sawamura to succeed him and take the stage!! Will this pitching change also change the flow of the game...?

This was an exciting volume! Sawamura really shows his stuff. I enjoyed reading it. The art and pacing are strong as usual.

Yayyy we’re gonna be having a game go more than one volume!! Yang seems like the only competition on this team but I’ll take it!! Sawamura finally gets some time to shine. Felt like the series had him in the background for most of the part. Hoping the game is tight for the entirety of it.

The tension in this book is really great. It feels like the stakes are escalating (they are) and the talent levels are too.
