Cross Game is the first sports/Adachi manga I have ever read, and I am relatively surprised at Adachi's ability to suck people in with his plot, characters, and excellent art. Although the characters looks old school, they have a nice charm that makes a person feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Adachi sure knows how to blend sports with romance and drama along with a slice of comedy.

Truely, an incredible story. it pulls you toward it, and you cant but continue to read it untill the end, and even further.
As much as I would like a continuation of the series, as much am I satisfied with how it ended. Adachi is truely a master in his profession, a mangaka that is able to use every aspect a manga has to offer and utilises it fully. nothing less than a 10 is appropriate here.

Mitsuru Adachi-sensei, thank you for this great, great story!

 Brilliance and perfection, all rolled up in one manga

Cross Game, in my opinion, is probably Adachi's best work to date. Like his previous works, it has a great plot, appealing characters, and a never-ending stream of funny situations, but what Cross Game has that the other mangas do not, is polish. Although Adachi's other works are good, I've always thought that they were lacking in some areas. It felt like they were still in the "draft" stage and were good, but not brilliant. However, in this manga, Adachi finally manages to achieve perfection--or as close to perfection as he's ever going to get--in terms of storytelling and artwork.

For me, I think the greatest aspect of this manga was how he manages to presents the story in such a way that it never makes it seem superfluous, cliched, or awkward. The plot was always engaging and quietly dynamic, the dry humour always managed to get a laugh out of me, and in the end, the manga left me completely satisfied despite it's ambiguous ending.

In short, Cross Game is a wonderful example of a slice-of-life manga and brilliant storytelling. I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat.

Cross Game is better by far than H2 and Touch, and cute, gripping and readable on top of it, but in the end it really remains the same. Adachi's main characters all look the same as each other, there's always a love triangle, and always a tragedy. I'm glad the principal romantic couple got together in the end, though.

It starts off horribly slow, but it does tend to suck you in as time goes by, so stick with it. As a general rule, though, I try to let a few months go by in between each Adachi manga. ^^;

This is the best series i've read so far out of all. Proves that he's matured yet another step with each series he draws. Probably some might not like the ending, but it is indeed one of the most conclusive ending (not like other ambiguous ending he has) I've ever read (Katsu can be counted in that too but well, i just love Cross Game more). But, even leaving the ending aside, i do feel that Cross Game is the better one overall in term of plot and growth of the chara. And it is similar to Touch for some reason, probably the upgrade version bigrazz

Adachi is Adachi, if you dont like his style please stop reading his work, we (who like his style) enjoy it big time, ending style might be annoying to some people, and might be best type of ending for some, i like Adachi's style and enjoy it ^^
