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. At the beginning I wondered whether it was my unfamiliarity with baseball, but the principles of a story like this (overpowered MC, pitiful players,petty adults) are much the same regardless. In the end, it's the fact that it's a child being tossed every which way by adults and peers alike, resulting in him not even knowing what he really wants or what really bothers him (Ayasegawa contradicts himself LOTS throughout the story which is obvious since he's a CHILD), that makes the story a bit hard to follow. As another reviewer pointed out, reading this from a psychological and drama lense might be better, since that would put center and focus Ayasegawa's growth into a kid that sets boundaries and constructs clear goals (a bit pointless for a sports manga to have a reader set the sports aspect aside, but it is what it is)
