I am really excited to see more from the series but it seems that it isn't getting that much traction outside japan... Hoping for more scans to come out soon!!

since this has won best manga of the year by konosugoi for 2024 i'm going to hope it picks up in popularity outside of japan, this is starting off as a really solid baseball story.
I like Közi a healthy amount.

I think this is the definition of suffering from success. The kid just wants to play and have fun but he's too good. Other kids hate him and adults just try to exploit his talent. The coach manipulating the kid was terrifying af. Definitely the highlight of the chapter. This is even more interesting since I just binged Catenaccio. The mc's are literally opposites. One a talentless but a true hard worker obsessed with victory even with a 0.01% chance vs a super genius seeking fun and enjoyment over victory or results. I really hope the kid realizes the coach is manipulating him. I'm really really hooked right now. I've only read the first 2 chapters but this is darker than I expected and I'm hooked

The worst first chapter I have read in a while. This was wish fulfillment bs for slackers who pretend if they just tried they would be good at everything. Pure narcissistic fantasy. I will give it a shot cause its a hit but a kids who excels in sports feeling bad for his teammates is the least interesting sport protag possible.
