Why read it?
1 author picked Cross Game, Volume 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love Mitsuru Adachi for his masterful storytelling and playful touch.

Behind this epic baseball drama is a wonderful story about the couple that could never be.
From Stephen's list on graphic YA with slow-burning high school romances.
