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. Comics are all about choosing the right moments to string into sequences, and Adachi has a knack for choosingĀ surprising moments without losing the clarity of the story. He's had a huge influence on my work. A story about two friends: an ace pitcher and an ace batter, and their rivalry for love and victory on the baseball field. 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.
