It took some time for me to decide what to give this manga. It felt like a manga which was a mix of Hajime no Ippo and Cross Game, the story that is. I agree with the others that the artwork is not up to scratch like many other animes but for the anime itself it works. It is a sort of smooth flowing manga. There are a few funny scene but not so great that you will wet yourself. Like other great manga's, this manga's lead male is a character which the average person can relate to. The love scenes make you want to ripyour hair out and say "just go for it will you".

The only main thing I can criticize is how abrupt the end was. It was like "ok the main scenes are finished so let's just end this". I would have prefered a couple more chapters using the same ending but just making it more of a smooth ending.
