This poignant coming-of-age story will change your perception of what shonen manga can be. About the game of life...and baseball.

Cross Game is a moving drama that is heartfelt and true, yet in the brilliant hands of manga artist Mitsuru Adachi, delightfully flows with a light and amusing touch. The series centers around a boy named Ko, the family of four sisters who live down the street and the game of baseball. This poignant coming-of-age story will change your perception of what shonen manga can be.

In the summer of his second year in high school, Ko and the Seishu baseball team must take on mighty Ryuou Gakuin and their genius slugger Keitaro Mishima. With everything on the line, will destiny find Seishu moving on to the next round? Later, new neighbors are setting up shop next to Kitamura Sports, and their daughter bears a striking resemblance to Wakaba...

Best manga I've ever read, hands down. This series had a huge impact on me. It's such a special story.

The book arrived in great condition. Good quality.

About halfway through this novel. Makes me wish I had a little more time with it every time I read it through. I can always revisit this book, but it just won't be the same. Great series.

I love the series and I wish H2, Touch, Rough, Katsu, Mix and all of Adachi's works were brought over.
