Such a lovely story! I'm surprised it has no comments yet. It was funny, the sports scenes were thrilling, and, despite all the silly comedy, it still made me tear up a few times. I also really loved the friendship between Hiro, Hideo, and Noda (especially Hiro and Hideo). Overall, this is just the sort of manga that makes me think "ah youth!" to myself on a lovely summer day. I was a bit...disappointed(?) with the ending. Or, rather, I would have liked to see a bit more resolution between the whole Koga situation, and their futures and whatnot. Or maybe I just liked it so much I wanted to watch them keep going a while longer lol. Either way...10/10!
