Well, it was a good series. I'm a little disappointing that it deviated away from baseball, but I guess the drama made up for it.

The victim complex was annoying though.

The author is kinda biased against the Americans or it is my idea?
Well, whatever. A little tragic and the ending was bittersweet. Did like the sports concept, but didn't like how it deviated away from that towards the end. 7/10.

I really liked this series and it moved me! I cried several scenes. It's such a powerful series and Tome is a really fun character to follow.

First, let me go over the flaws. The romance is really...Weirdly written. I never felt any romance out of Tome and Katsumi. Then, they suddenly fucked and ??? And we found out that they were in love. If the writer really wanted a strong romance between them, we need more development. I felt so sad that he died. It would have been really powerful if he stayed alive and stopped being brain dead. :c Secondly, it's a bit rushed at times. I feel that the pacing in the beginning worked better than the one it ended off with. The build up was excellent though.

The strong point of this series was the build up, as I've said before. How everything rolled down, how Tome was shown as. She's so fearless and liberated. This series is truly a good read for a feminist, at least. Women in Anime/Manga are usually depicted as as weak, powerless, and submissive but she is rather the opposite of all those things. She's an actual role model.

The sports aspect was pretty good. I mean, it's not really a sports manga as baseball was just the theme they picked. Anything else could have been used in place as long as it was important for America as well.

Overall, this was a really great series and more people should check it out.
