Description
From Storm in Heaven:
Takatou Masaki is the second youngest of four sons, and seemingly a delinquent by nature. His hot temper has put a wedge between himself and his strict father, gotten him kicked out of one school, and tossed him at a school notoriously horrible for the one thing he's truly good at, basketball. A chance encounter with the willful Yuuki Kanako may serve as a catalyst for change, as the indefinable connection she feels with him draws them together.
Note: Won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1988.

Fuyumi´s second best work to date

All of Fuyumi translated manga are various degrees of good and Mars which i also reviewed is the best shoujo manga in my book. ES (also a 9/10) comes third and it is a shame that this award-winning gem or it´s anime tv special haven´t been fully translated yet as i have read the whole manga and i can promise that the best is jet to come. The story could have gone on a bit longer but i am happy with what i have been given as it concluded on a satisfactory note. The art is less evolved then her later works but it is very good and calm nonetheless. The characterization is the highlight of the series as i always felt that I was reading about real teenagers for once and not about angsty genre cutout No.X. The very serious and dramatic aspects of the story never turns into a soap opera but what else is expected and i would have awarded this noticeably polished early work with a price too.
Why did it run in Sho-Comi btw. as that magazine is infamouse for smut and i hope that this tale get´s another chance to shine on the international stage in the future.

I love the characters and the conflict and the feelings they convey, which can be seen in every scene. I have read up to the chapters translated, and is really worth the reading. It's a real pity that a so well done manga is not translated so we can all enjoy a good story.

Pleasant

I was enjoying this series until I realized that there was none left. I hope that this series does get picked up again since the beginning already shows so much potential. Also, the works by this author are always great.

I wish this could be picked up again, and Fuyumi lovers could read another great manga

I love this mangaka and her drawing style, also after reading Mars, I began to search some other mangas of Souryo Fuyumi, and then I said to myself: Yes! I've found another great manga like Mars, maybe better than Mars, because the same great art and basketball theme are in it. However, I'm so sad that I just can read until 5 chapters
why is it dropped
? It's really good. I wish someone picks this up again. I really wish.



really good :)

I must say, Souryo Fuyumi's shoujo is one of the best. Feels just so good reading it. The relationship actually seems real.
Funny though, why expecting romance stright when the series starts?
It's even more real this way... Showing how everything evolves.
The art is not as clean as compared to her newer manga, but it's still good and solid.
*wants more* X3

After 4 chapters, this serie looks more and more like something that would suit my taste : drama but not in excess, stylish drawings, sport as a challenge, romance more or less "real-world like" (well not completely excessive and unbelievable like in so many shoujo).
I'll reserve my judgement but that could be a really good surprise.

The story is somewhat slow-paced, so the romance hasn't really kicked in yet (2. chapter), but it's very promising. I hope the scanlation will speed up, because I'd really like to see how the story develops.
