There's nothing special about this manga and the characters are kind of dull. Miwa is annoying and Shouta is your typical lame shounen protagonist who has a lot of potential to be amazing because of some hidden talent that he's never realised before.
I don't know if it's just me but I feel like the chapters are kind of choppy. I keep checking to see that I haven't skipped a page or something and I haven't... the flow just isn't very smooth. The art is okay, again, nothing special about it. The main character's design doesn't stand out enough.
As others have mentioned, this manga focuses more on romance than on sports but it falls short on both, lacking the tension to keep readers interested. If you want a good romance-sports manga try Crimson Hero, and if you prefer sports-romance then go for Baby Steps.
