Pretty standard slice of life about a baseball "imitation" club in which the members imitate famous baseball players instead of playing actual baseball much to the dismay of their new member.

Overall average in most aspects. The only hook it really has is that, unlike most slice of life, there are some actual arcs and minor character progression. Unfortunately, the series ends quite abruptly with no real ending, and I would have liked to see how the story changed if it had gone on for longer.

Another thing I enjoyed is that the series and its characters have a genuine love of baseball, with entire pages dedicated ... to characters debating which kind of the double plays they think are the most impressive.

Humour and tone-wise, it’s pretty similar to the mangaka’s other work Aiura so if you enjoyed that maybe check it out.

Pretty average manga all around. The mysteries are weak and the characters are generally bland. There are brief hints of what could be interesting character arcs but are either resolved in the blink of an eye or are never elaborated on.

Lots of pointless half-hearted fan service wasting pages.

The art is competent but compositions are often confusing at leading the eye from panel to panel.

This only adapts the first 3 (maybe part of 4?) light novels so it also has an extremely unsatisfying non-ending in which nothing is resolved.

Overall, everything here is done better elsewhere, but if you just want more of the same tropes ... you've already seen before then this is that.

This is a collection of 4 short stories:

- The life of a kid whose friend has a notebook in which possible future events are written.
- The night in which some robbers meet at a ryokan.
- A university student investigates a missing person seen in a student film found in their film studies club.
- The life of a person after they are fully paralyzed in an accident.

These are stories about miserable people in miserable situations. They are very prose heavy and contain almost no dialogue or pictures. I think some of them have interesting premises (particularly the third one) but there isn't much story to any ... of them beyond this premise. Overall I found it pretty tough to get through the walls of descriptions to get to the nuggets of interesting stuff.
