バトルスタディーズ [Battle Studies] #5

The intense close-up of a weathered baseball coach or manager — cap pulled low, jaw set, one hand thrust forward with fierce determination — says everything about the high-stakes world of competitive baseball at the heart of Battle Studies. Nakibokuro's series follows the grueling, unforgiving path of players pushing themselves to the limit, and this fifth volume promises more of that raw, gritty energy. A great pick for fans of sports manga that take both the game and its human drama seriously.
