Lovely art, I think it has the same captivating style as recent Miyazaki's. Story is very depressing since it reveals much of human flaws, especially the cunning of jealous women. Deserves more attention, but its pessimistic nature may be a turn off to some readers.

Wore out its welcome...

Engaging start, with interesting characters and a compelling situation, but after five volumes nobody has had any character growth and the plot merely repeats over and over. The characters have diminished into stereotypes of cartoony evil vs good. For example, the yakuza fellow who started to become a real fleshed-out person, all but disappeared from the story, and the son of the one-dimensional evil mother remained a weak-willed pushover. Even the main girl, whom I really rooted for, just stagnated. And don't get me started on the manipulative Choko. She was so villainously cartoony it was awful to read. And ridiculously, frustratingly flat.

I'm surprised; I know this author can write masterpiece stories of soulful characters! Try Monster.

Abandoned at volume five (out of 15).

more than a bit aggravating

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

why is the main character so STUPID? she supposedly got top grades in school so i'd like to think she would be smart or just a little savvy. WRONG!!! She's in the top 5 of the most gullible characters i've ever read about. Takes the blame for others mistakes, believes every thing she's told, trusts people when its obvious she really should judge a book by it's cover or at least question a situation. you would think that someone who grew up like she did would have a more realistic grasp on reality. If not for her very very aggravating personality, i would really like this manga. As it is I'm skimming to the parts where she plays tennis which is not as often as i'd like. That's where she really shines and the reason i continue to read

annoying

by StarlightDreams

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

I can't stand half the characters and I would like this manga a lot more if the characters weren't so annoying, the plot is nice and well developed, but the characters suck. Umino is too naive and doesn't notice the true personalities of the people around her, her siblings are pretty spoiled, but they're just kids. The mama's boy, w/e his name is, can't make up his mind and do something. That choko girl makes me want to slap her over and over again when i read this, I think she's the biggest b...annoying jealous woman in all of the manga I've read

EDIT: I've changed my mind...this manga is just annoying in itself. How the hell is this realistic? -_-
I would've liked it more if the characters weren't so...

this is the kind of manga you either love or hate but just can't like when you're too used to happy-oriented mangas. it's just Urasawa's style. the protagonist goes through thick and concrete. a must read for "good" readers.

My opinion

You know, in my time, Ive read a lot of books, and a lot of mangas too. So you can trust my opinion on this series.

This is, not only one of the best sports mangas ive ever read, but one of the more emotional ones, too. As the previous commentor said, You hate the character everyone loves, and you love the character everyone hates. In fact, Just reading this makes me actually want to hurt Choko, and help miyuki, Much like sakarada. Now, out of all the manga ive read, I can count on my hands the number of mangas that have made me feel like this.

Art: Very good. Ive seen other mangas from the early 90's, and this is superb. Its clean, and it makes you feel like youre actually there.

Characters: the development of the characters is great, while others are off. The only characters i dont like are, In fact, the main ones, Miyuki and her siblings. Miyuki, for not wising up, and Her siblings for being selfish little brats. While shes out trying to earn money to keep her apartment, they Bit** moan and complain that all she does is play, while they starve. and whenever she has a chance to earn more money, They think shes just going out to eat more food.

Story: Great story. Only qualm i have with it is Ieyasu the brother. He should show up more often.

Overall, it gets a 10. The cons are thrown off the scale by the sheer weight of the pros. Give it a read, youll like it. Its a shame that its stopped at volume 9(10 if you wanna be technical)

Sigh... This series brings human nature out really nicely, but still, I can't say a manga is good if the only emotion it brings out of you is anger.
I get so pissed off because of that girl from the competing tennis company that I just want to stop reading.

Ok, i started reading this manga cause it has good popularity, and everyone recommended this one cause they liked ,etc. Then I started reading, and enjoyed some moments, hated others for being over used. Then this somewhere in the middle of chapters 40~50 started to piss me off...cause, seriously, there are different types of bad people, but i really cant enjoy reading this manga at all, simply because, the mangaka dont know how to think as a bad person, all he thinks is, what i can do for her overcome it with a perfect score?
Then here i read someone saying "perfect portrayal of human nature"? Oh yeah, there are tons of people that like's to use others, but, nearly no one as dumb as that gal...and this made me cant read this anymore at chapter 57.

This manga is over rated, main character appear to come straight from a shounen magazine, the drama part from a shoujo (one really bad btw).
Its not that better than prince of tennis, both of them are crap, at least PoT dont make me puke because of a moronic autor that just know how to harass and not to destroy someone...

A realistic but annoying manga

It feels so real, it's so good, yet it is such a pain to read cause there are many detesable characters in it.
Cause the translation stopped midway, i've never read the ending, but i dunno what is so "happy" about this manga.
