### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adachi's Best
*by S***O on October 18, 2010*

When Mistusu Adachi published Touch in the early eighties, nobody thought that he will able to surpass that success. Touch inaugurated a new genre in manga: sports-romance. Adachi was a very successful writer in his early thirties, he had a lot of time in front of him, but he had set the bar pretty high, it took him almost 30 years to set a new standard.Cross Game is much more than a sports-romance manga. In his great style Adachi manages to talk about everything, and also to emulate life in baseball. Not just the win and lose passion but also the more delicate edges of life, as uncertainty, memories, melancholy.In Cross Game Adachi also remembers his own gone brother, because in this manga memories have even more weight than common life.The drawing skills of Adachi have not improved a lot since Miyuki but his narrative is much more accurate and effective. The Master only needs a few pages to transmit his idea and more.From the very beginning of the manga you cannot put it down. It really does not matter if you like baseball or not, I have not seen a complete game in 20 years or so, what does matter is to feel the feelings it transmits.Adachi is not well known in America but in Japan is one of the most famous mangakas of all time. I will strongly recommend you to read the best work of one of the best mangakas since the art was invented.Cross Game in short, is one of the best magas ever, you should not miss it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of the best manga/comic books
*by Y***N on July 24, 2014*

Mitsuru Adachi is a true master of manga. There is no other work of manga that can match his.His work visualizes what it means to be young with romantic and touching languages of art.It is not just about baseball or love. It is about your youth, the most dreamful days in your life.The Cross Game makes you feel like you are 15 years old once again, you are in love with the cutest girls in the school, you can perhaps throw 100 miles fastball.It rejuvenates your most brilliant times in your life, reminds you of those days your life was a full of dreams and wishes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful coming of age story
*by A***R on August 6, 2020*

This (and the subsequent 7 volumes ) is one of my favorite Adachi mangas. As per usual, his story-telling is well paced and complex. Emotions span from joy to heartbreak. And they are well resolved. I recommend this series very highly. ( I own the paperbacks, as well as the Kendal editions. My grandkids are all fans as well )
