バトルスタディーズ [Battle Studies] #23

Three baseball players in matching gray uniforms sit together on the cover of this 23rd volume of Battle Studies, looking battle-worn and fiercely determined — a baseball bat resting across their laps and stitched-ball motifs framing the edges set the gritty, competitive tone perfectly. Nakibokuro's long-running series continues to blend the intensity of high school baseball with real human drama, and this installment looks primed to deliver more of both. Fans of sports manga with genuine edge will feel right at home here.
