Nijiiro Tougarashi is by far one of my favorite manga series ever. Written by Adachi Misturu it is one of his best works, containing all of his staple elements: - Believable Characters - Great slapstick comedy - An enjoyable progressing story arc - Great romantic tension It is also one of his more unusual works, with: - More effort put into art- Fight scenes instead of sport scenes
- Wait... This isn't a sport manga !

This is such a great manga because it takes all that is great about some sport mangas, and applies it to a more adventure style manga, while retaining the slice-of-life and slaptstick style. The rythm is gentle but always engrossing.
