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.
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.
If you like baseball or sports manga I'd recommend it to you!

英語は不得意で読む方にのみ気を使ってた為か、少し感情移入気味だったので、
タッチのような展開に正直焦りました。
少し目をウルウルさせながら、「この展開ずるいなー」とか言いながら読んでました。
(変な意味では無く「こんな気持ちにさせるなんて」て感じで)
読んで良かったという思いと、久しぶりに安達さんのマンガは心地よかったです。
展開と内容は何時もの安達マンガですので、日本語版を先に読んだら
これほどは興味を持たなかったかもしれませんが、
そんなことはどうでも良いと思える作品です。
