About the author
Mitsuru Adachi
697 books222 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.

Murni khas Adachi sensei. Lelucon2 yg berulang namun tak membuat bosan dan selalu terhibur :))

Quick thoughts: An interesting mix of short stories. A slight step down overall from the first two collections, but Adaichi's experiments in subject matter make it just as worthwhile to read. There are a couple really gut-punch depressing ones hidden in here (although very well told). I liked Memory Off and Idol A the most.

ดีมาก ไม่รู้ว่ารวมเรื่องสั้นชุดนี้ของอาดาจิมีที่มาที่ไปอย่างไร แต่เดาว่าคงเป็นการรวบรวมผลงานที่เรียงตามช่วงเวลา เล่มนี้มันมีความเป็นผู้ใหญ่ขึ้นกว่าสองเล่มแรก มีเรื่องสั้นดราม่าหนัก ๆ อยู่เรื่องหนึ่ง ไม่นึกว่าอาดาจิจะเขียนเรื่องแบบนี้ และยังทำได้ดีอีกด้วย - ชื่อเรื่อง "ค้อนเทวดา" เราก็ไม่รู้ว่าทำไมเขาถึงใช้ชื่อนี้ ในเรื่องก็ไม่มีค้อนให้เห็นสักเล่ม อารมณ์ประมาณ 20th century boys ฉบับเรื่องสั้น และขอบอกว่ามันสุดยอดจริง ๆ
