I'm usually not into sports manga, but after reading this, I really like it. Maybe because during my years in junior high and high school I was more into the underdog sports like volleyball, badminton, or soccer. It's kind of rare (IMO) to see a manga focusing on a minor sport rather than a popular well-known sport.

The story and pacing of the manga is steady and decent so far, and somehow to me, the characters help makes it feel somewhat natural...I don't know how to describe it. I also like how the manga explains some of the rules (and some tidbits) of lacrosse as I have no clue on how it's played. It's not too over-the-top or have over-exaggerated dynamic sports action scenes (at least for now) like some of the sports manga that I've checked out. I think this manga emphasizes a bit more on the fun and enjoyment of the sport. Despite it focusing on women's lacrosse, it made me curious to learn more about lacrosse in general since I've heard of it but not familiar with it.

I do like the artwork, and coming from a new mangaka, it's refreshing to me though some of you may not agree.
Overall, is a bit early to say this, but I think BaggataWay is off to a great start. It's becoming a good and enjoyable read for me..
