バトルスタディーズ [Battle Studies] #42

Volume 42 of Battle Studies arrives with a striking cover that fills the frame with an intense close-up of a player's face, a bold kanji character stamped across it like a brand, hinting at the fierce determination running through this baseball manga. Creator なきぼくろ (Nakibokuro) continues the series' tradition of raw, unflinching portrayals of competitive high school baseball, and the piercing single eye staring out from the cover makes it clear the stakes remain as high as ever. Fans following this Kōdansha title will find volume 42 every bit as gripping as the chapters that came before it.
