Currently Reading Wednesdays 21: Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

[healyg]

This week I'm currently reading Cross Game (Omnibus Volume 1), by Mitsuru Adachi. It's a sports manga about a young layabout who gets into high school baseball after a personal tragedy. It's a pretty entertaining read so far (I just now started what would have been the original volume 3), although I had a little trouble keeping track of all the characters. I don't know if this is a function of the original, the translation, or just my tired and lazy brain. Regardless, I would have liked to see a cast list, or maybe even translation notes. I understand that might be hard to do in an omnibus volume like this, though. Anyway, I'll be sure to check out the next volume once I'm finished. A recommended book, especially if you're familiar with baseball.
