I'm not a fan of romance sport manga, or anything to do with that... But, I like this manga... so much.
I guess those who did their best in club at HS could relate themselves better to its story plot. And the romance went sooo slowly... But, well, once again, I think I can relate when they concerned themselves too much with club, they don't have that much time to be lovey-dovey.
You know, rather than those manga who made me asking, "hey, don't they have other worries beside romance? how about school? life? come on, it's high school, dude.", this manga is kinda refreshing.
Both MC have their own worries over club, friendship, and family. There's nothing like dark past, or any heavy themes. Just a light and refreshing manga, with slow romance pace, warm days, doing best for their aim, some realistic conflicts...without too much drama.
I'm glad the mangaka didn't use such classic conflicts such as love triangle, broken family, a super guy who helped the girl in front of everyone, or girls-fake-friendship. I like how normal are the characters here. Maybe I've read too much shojo and tired of those fluffy unrealistic things that only concerned about love-life. The normal-life feeling I got from this manga gave me a 'new' feeling. Yep, it's a good read 🙂
