Just an incredibly relatable manga. I personally related to Yugami because of the overall "emotionlessness" of his character but there is a lot of people to relate to in this manga. Everyone is fleshed out and even though they sometimes fall into usual archetypes it still does not subtract from their character.

What makes this manga work is it is also a baseball manga but it hides this under the slice of life disguise. This helps to flesh out characters more because it gives them a reason to overcome hardship. But being a slice of life manga it never shifts the focus away from the characters and strikes a nice balance between the two.

It is a very enjoyable story and very laid back. It is also finished publishing so you can start reading without fearing any hiatus whatsoever.
