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. And don't get me wrong, it is good in the sense that the story is engaging and the main character really sets himself apart from other such characters in this trope. However, as it's being told from the perspective of an 11 year old, it's truly confusing and hard to follow most of the time.
