imaztar baby steps was and still really underrated and it's really sad if we could participate and vote for the magazine ranking at that time i'm sure the manga would keep go on.
it's one of the best "sport manga" i read, it's in my top 3 with daiya no ace and haikyuu, and major in 4th position. i love how we follow maruo's journey and grow and the fact that he don't win everytime, the romance is one of the best not much drama (and maruo is better than every other shonen MC who are to dense are to coward), there are some funny part and the match are really good and realistic (not like prince of tennis) and you don't know who will win till the end. i like the part where it's not a high school club type but more professional
