If you blame the victim, then you stand for the perpetrator.
"You say a word and I'll step back. Tell me not to touch you," Louis murmured, his control slipping as he admitted his deep yearning for her touch.
"Get away from me," she managed to whisper.
"Mean it, Verena," he persisted, urging her to make a definitive choice with the insistence in his voice.
His hand moved closer to her neck, lingering there briefly before retreating, engaging in a delicate dance of desire.
For a moment, silence hung heavy in the air, filled with unspoken tension. Then, as if her inner turmoil reached its peak, the words spilled from her lips. "I fucking hate you," she spat out.
Without further hesitation, Verena surged forward, her hand finding the back of his neck. In an instant, her lips crashed against his.

The story begins somewhat awkwardly: two best friends, a middle school judo star and a track star, decide to join their high school's struggling baseball team because they both instantly develop a crush on the team's manager, who also happens to be the coach's daughter. As it turns out, the judo star wasn't really serious about her but continues playing baseball anyway, leaving the track star as the lone protagonist pursuing her affections, naturally facing competition from less desirable rivals.
Yes, it stretches credibility, even within the fantastical realm of shounen sports manga. However, once these initial hiccups are resolved and the focus shifts to playing baseball, dating, and personal growth, it evolves into a rather enjoyable manga. The main couple genuinely cares for each other and shares several heartfelt moments. The baseball scenes occasionally veer into silliness, but it's rewarding to witness how the team bonds and evolves over three years—this isn't a group that magically clicks in a single season. By the manga's conclusion, I genuinely found myself fond of this quirky ensemble.
That said, it is undeniably old-school. The fashion is exceedingly conservative. Hairstyles are either exaggeratedly large or shaved. The relationship dynamics feel somewhat stiff and outdated.
In summary, if you can overlook the clumsy start and don't mind its retro charm, this manga becomes an engaging read for anyone who appreciates a mix of romance in their sports manga or sports in their romantic comedies.
