I received this manga from the publisher on Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Now those who know me know that I don’t love love triangles. In fact. I generally avoid them. But sometimes I find the rare love triangle that works for me. Like in this one. We got our top baseball player/pitcher Minami Makoto. He loves/has an interest in his childhood friend (though haha, it takes him a bit to figure things out) and the one who got him into baseball and the one who disappeared until now, Shusuke Waya, if Waya has an interest back? Well you will have to find out as you read. Then there is Shiratori Hokuto who is also on Minami’s team, and he? He loves Minami. Yup. He really gets close and personal with him, though my heart broke as Minami only seemed to have eyes for the childhood friend who has now returned. I was so invested in these three and was wondering what would happen, who would get to be with Minami, would Minami purely go for Waya or would he give Hokuto a chance? At this point I have to say I am more invested in Hokuto x Minami because I just didn’t like how Waya never contacted Minami after he left + the fact he never told him he wasn’t doing baseball ever again while Minami was working so hard to get to a good level so that the two could reunite at a big event. I just wanted to hug Minami so many times, luckily he has Hokuto who is very much active in his affections. I loved seeing how the story continued between these three, there is several moments of drama (and some typical romance hijinks) that had me gasping, giggling, and maybe also crying a bit, especially when we got to learn what happened to Waya, though I definitely will stick to what I said earlier, he should have told Minami sooner. I am definitely invested in the lives of these three guys and I am curious who Minami will choose. Will he go for his childhood friend or will he go for Hokuto who has been with him and baseball for some time.

Next to drama and romance we also have a whole load of baseball! From trainings to how Minami got into baseball to competitions to training camps and more. I am normally also not a baseball girlie, but I really enjoyed it in this one. Probably also because of the art, with some great expressions, fun action moments, and more. I was definitely rooting for Minami’s team! And I really had a laugh at the newbies and how they clung to the older boys.

The art was so pretty and I love the style. The guys were all drawn in a hot way and I love it! I also enjoyed the little bonuses like introductions and baseball stuff.

All in all, if you want a fun love story with drama and baseball I would recommend this one!
