Fuck I love these sports manga. This one, especially, builds the hype exceptionally well. Slightly unrealistic physicality for middle-schoolers, but it's not like Prince of Tennis where they're actually like super-human and it just turns retarded (ONLY IN MY OPINION, NO FLAME PLS). Probably most similar to BE BLUES, and Giant Killing! in my mind, but definitely leaning more on hype and intensity than those that are a bit more on character. To be fair, Bungos characters aren't weak at all, but it's more about characters clashing and the intensity therein than peaceful or comedic character interactions, although there are definitely a good amount of those.
10/10 sports manga imo, probably about an 8.5 or 9/10 if you don't really care about sports that much. To be frank, I couldn't give less of a fuck about baseball, but I do like basketball and other sports a bit in real life, and this is very entertaining.
