Asahi is in dilemma. She’s not good at neither sport nor team work. She tried joining volleyball team, but it seems that her pace disturbs others. Umi, her best friend, asks her to join badminton club. Asahi hesitates, thinking that she might cause trouble to other members. But, during a match when Asahi asked to substitute the sick member, she shows good talent. The coach thinks she could be a good player, and he’s right. It’s only a month away and now she can challenge Hayakaze Gakuen. Realizing Asahi’s rapid development, Umi is challenged and willing to work harder to improver her skill.
What a great friendship if you can encourage each other to be better and better. The story is so so, though I was hoping some love scenes, but it’s only about badminton. In fact, the friendship smells yuri, as well! hiiiii! Asabuki sensei may have to try mixing many aspects in her future works.

Please visit Doko Demo Doa Manga Scanlations to download this manga. I can’t believe that this manga could make me cry. I guess I was just too sentimental back then. I mean, the art is rough, yet it’s neat, kinda like Hajime no Ippo!. But, the story is touchy. May be it’s just my kind of story.

Ryoma and Seigaku regulars are back! After winning national competition, the top players are invited for U-17 candidate selection camp for 3 days. They have to compete with other genius tennis player from High School to get 250 seats in The High School Representatives Selection Camp. It’s the place for elites only. Ryoma who already got back to America is called back.
In the new series, Ryoma has to beat the High School players. I don’t think there would be many differences from the old Tenipuri where Ryoma always won. Kinda bored, actually, but it’s ok. I already miss the series so much and now I can see Momo chan again.

It started with a girl’s dream. It infected a bunch of boys she trained. Now, after years, the boys reunite in Aoizaka High School to make the dream come true. Sugiwara Suzuo, the girl is now coaching the lame aoizaka baseball club. It seems like dreaming of getting into Koshien is an utophy. But, as Kitarou Kitaoji, Shinnosuke Shibata, Kotetsu Kobayashi, Masaharu Matsukata and Ukyo Umemiya join the club the sun might shines away. They are aces from their junior High and now they team up once again.
What should I say, this is typical baseball manga. We had enough of them, right?
Regarding the plot, it seems like Suzou is the heroine here and those 5 little boys are the secret admirer. It’s like having sister complex, right? They like Suzuo because she’s nice and beautiful, even though they know (I suppose they understand) they could not be with her. they want to protect her and grab her the goal. Is this some kind of a boy’s childish dream, ha? This is obviously not love.
The art is nothing extraordinary. It’s ok for a male mangaka. and I must noted thatTanaka sensei is suck at drawing of propotional woman.

Both of them are promising athletes. Keisuke used to be the third winner at free style when he was at junior high. Now, Keisuke is aiming for chest style swimming champion. He has to try hard, but Ami keeps annoying his concentration. Come to think about it again, the quarrels belong to their two families who own cookies shops. The history of ‘Hehe’ and ‘Hoho’ cookies shared the future of both youngsters. How Keisuke and Ami deal with it?
Geez, this manga was published 3 years after I was born, but the Indonesian version has just released last year (2008). What an old story ha?
Adachi Mitsuru sensei is widely known for baseball theme of manga, so this one is kinda out of track. However, the humor and sliced of philosophy contained are the same. You better read it!
You can go to mangadownloads to get this one.

· Filed under Manga, shonen, sport ·Tagged baseball, Eisei Takaoka, Full Swing, Tama, tennis
As the doctor said that he could never hold baseball bat perfectly, Tama loses his goal. He had been in love with baseball since he went to his favorite player’s game. What’s life without dream now? He wants to make a home run. But, no matter how much he practices, that won’t do. One day, he saw a man hitting ball on a wall. Hmm…isn’t that what they call squash? The beat and the man’s moves are synchronized so the ball hit beautifully. That man, a famous young player, Doichi, teaches Tama to use racket. Tama finds out that he can make home run with this racket too. He can do a full swing with baseball move. Once again, Tama feels like he has purpose in life.
Unlike many sports manga I knew, this is a very short manga. It’s only 2 volumes telling the beginning life of Tama’s tennis. We never knew that he would succeed in this anyway. lol. But, it’s ok for me. Despite of Tama’s future in Tennis, the manga point that hardship is all you need to conquer the world. Life might be difficult and your path might be blocked, but there’s always a way. You can always jump the wall. Don’t give up.
