About the author
Mitsuru Adachi
688 books219 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.

Ada beberapa lelucon tipikal Adachi-sensei yang tertera paa volume ini.
Perkembangan cerita dengan adanya karakter cinta pertama Atsushi Ando muncul di sekolah yang sama.

Berbeda dengan Volume 1, penceritaan di sekuel ini terasa sedikit dipaksakan. Ada bab tentang Kyu Ando yang tiduran di depan TV menonton anime yang isinya cuma kegelapan, yang diakibatkan oleh mati lampu. Tsk. Sangat mengecewakan.
Subplot yang cukup menarik adalah ketika Atsushi yang ingin membeli kue bola Ikariya, malah bertemu dengan Yuho ... serta ayahnya. Yang disangka Atsushi sudah meninggal dunia. Lalu tiba-tiba masuklah 2 orang penjahat yang sebenarnya ingin merampok Bank Buah Plum yang lokasinya persis di sebelah toko kue tersebut. Lucu sih. Tapi ya sudah. Terlalu ringan sampai mudah dilupakan.
Ada twist baru yang cukup menarik menjelang akhir, yaitu ketika Riki Jino berniat menghajar Atsushi di Klub Judo, justru seorang siswi kelas 1 bernama Shinobu Ouchi yang turun tangan balik menghajar Jino. Yang mengejutkan, justru karena Shinobu justru mengenal Atsushi beberapa tahun sebelumnya.
Anyway, cerita di Volume 2 ini tidak membuatku terlalu penasaran menunggu sekuelnya.

...un po' troppo in questo manga. Puo' fare meglio.
Inoltre il fanservice (finto ma non troppo) dopo un po' non fa piu' ridere.
