Review: This is one of the best sports anime i have watch so far.... For those who like Major, please don't miss this. This is the best artwork from Mitsuru Adachi which published from 1981 to 1986 (Weekly Shounen Sunday 1981 #36 - 1986 #50).Very old manga. It had been adapted into an anime which consist of 101 episodes(including 4 recap). The whole story is just about baseball. Even though there is romance, it is not too emphasize in this manga. Try it... you won't regret.
Score: 5 out of 5
