Although Diamond no Kouzai's plot is about the best pitcher in the world, it's actually a manga about losing, and especially, the losers, the feeling of hopeless, of jealousy. It perfectly portrays, even to the level of excess, that mostly untouched topic in sports manga.

When Kou, from Cross Game, throws a perfect game and we get to see the reaction's of the losers, or the teammates that didn't make the cut, we see them, although sad, at least in someway also glad, they realize that the nature of sports is winning or losing, and even if they are jealous, or angry, they never let that ...

I really like stories about gifted athletes and their struggles, so given that's the main theme of this manga I thought I'd give it a chance.

Unlike the majority of gifted characters in sport manga, he doesn't enjoy crushing his opponents and victory doesn't really matter to him. He has a hard time understanding others and no one understands him.
Not the other ...
