I honestly was really fond with this manga. It was great, because of this I understand and play baseball much better than I use to. This manga was quite funny and romantic.
I really like the story. On the first chapter.... it was so sad it made me a bit teary eyed and with that ending song it was too much. I love that they used baseball and turned it into such a great romantic-comedy which also has a bit of drama.
Just saying if you have no idea what the heck happens in baseball this manga is an awesome study tool while being entertained with a such a fantastic manga.
The anime is also awesome, they didn't change it unlike some anime's.
