About the author
Mitsuru Adachi
693 books220 followersMitsuru Adachi (あだち充 in Japanese) is a Japanese manga artist. After graduating from Gunma Prefectural Maebashi Commercial High School in 1969, Adachi worked as an assistant for Isami Ishii. He made his manga debut in 1970 with Kieta Bakuon, based on a manga originally created by Satoru Ozawa. Kieta was published in Deluxe Shōnen Sunday (a manga magazine published by Shogakukan).
Adachi is well known for romantic comedy and sports manga (especially baseball) such as Touch, H2, Slow Step, and Miyuki. He has been described as a writer of "delightful dialogue", a genius at portraying everyday life, "the greatest pure storyteller", and "a master manga artist". He is one of the few manga artists to write for shōnen, shōjo, and seinen manga magazines, and be popular in all three.
His works have been carried in manga magazines such as Weekly Shōnen Sunday, Ciao, Shōjo Comic, Big Comic, and Petit Comic, and most of his works are published through Shogakukan and Gakken. He was one of the flagship authors in the new Monthly Shōnen Sunday magazine which began publication in June 2009. Only two short story collections, Short Program and Short Program 2 (both through Viz Media), have been released in North America, though Viz is scheduled to begin publishing Cross Game in October 2010.
He modeled the spelling of あだち (rather than 安達) for his family name after the example of his older brother, manga artist Tsutomu Adachi. In addition, it has been suggested that the accurate portrayal of sibling rivalry in Touch may come from Adachi's experiences while growing up with his older brother. Adachi did the character designs for the OVA anime series Nozomi Witches, so he is sometimes incorrectly given credit for creating the original series.

Ah, what a satisfying slow-burn of a romance and a VERY satisfying ending that was!
---
Another one of my favourite Adachi series, but this time, about swimming. Keisuke Yamato is a talented freestyle swimmer who always seems to come third during his time in middle school, while Ami Ninomiya is an up-and-coming diver. However, they come from families that have had an intense rivalry since their grandfathers' days, and their initial interactions were anything but cordial.
But as time went on (as it inevitably does), they gradually grew closer, their obstacles fell away, and there's even a strong indication of how the love triangle (between Keisuke, Ami, and Keisuke's swimming rival who Ami considers more than a big brother) plays out in the end.
This being an Adachi manga, there were pops of pervy stuff (partly owed to the mangaka himself, but I think also strongly due to the manga's inclusion in a magazine that's known for being fairly fan-servicey), and his trademark remarks to the readers of what it's being like being a mangaka (although that tapered off somewhat, towards the latter end of the series).
In all? Another satisfying read (and decent night's sleep somewhat spoilt... ah well...).

(ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ ~menyenangkan!
Mungkin ini yang disebut "penggemar"? Aku ga terlalu peduli dengan desain tokoh yang mirip-mirip dengan komik yang sebelumnya ta' baca , maupun wajah / sifat yang sebelas-duabelas, tapi langsung tercebur ke dalam ceritanya dan menikmati nyaris setiap momen yang disajikan~
Momen yang paling aku suka adalah ketika salah satu tokoh (siapa saja ^^) lebih memilih disalahpahami demi kepentingan orang lain, ketimbang berusaha membenarkan diri sendiri tanpa mempertimbangkan apakah nasib orang lain jadi jungkir-balik atau tidak.
Dan persahabatan para tokoh komik ini seperti itu.., suka sekali dengan persahabatan Ogata - Kume - Seki - Kitano - Yamato.
Juga si preman cupu, Narita-san XDD sayang jatah munculnya sedikit~
Berbagai perasaan yang muncul itu, seperti khas Adachi-sensei, tak terucap. Namun, terasa dalam...
Dan ending-nya...ending-hembusan-angin ituu~ ending-super-kentang yang juga khas! XD
Terasa manis, juga bikin greget~ tapi aku rasa, aku 'ndak keberatan (^皿^)

Reseña y calificación para toda la serie
Cuando leemos muchas obras de un mismo autor es inevitable encontrar coincidencias, escenas y bromas que se repiten. Pero si el autor es bueno aún con todas esas coincidencias este logrará crear una historia que calé en nosotros y difícilmente olvidemos. Esto me pasó con Rough. :)
Siempre es un disfrute leer a Adachi, uno de mis autores favoritos. 😋

Hồi mới đầu mình chỉ đọc tập 1 của bộ này rồi bỏ dở, vì lúc đó thích những gì đẹp đẽ, tròn trịa kìa, còn bộ này đúng như tựa của nó thì hơi "thô", sần sùi, không đúng gu của mình. Nhưng sau này đọc vài bộ của Adachi rồi quay lại đọc bộ này thì thấy nó hay và dễ thương vô cùng. Tình huống, nhân vật phải nói là hết sức tinh tế, kể cả những bộ shoujo mình cũng chưa thấy đạt đến mức độ như vậy. Và cũng hơi buồn là những bộ sau này của Adachi cũng không thể bì được, có thể nói các bộ truyện cùng thời kỳ với bộ này là đỉnh cao của ông rồi.

Sudahlah.
Tidak peduli karakter yg mirip, lelucon yg terkadang terkesan berulang, alur yg mengingatkan akan suatu serial lainnya, karya2 Adachi sensei wajib dibaca hho.
Wajar saja, ketika kita membaca banyak karya dari mangaka yang sama, tidak dapat dihindari untuk menemukan kebetulan, adegan, dan lelucon yang berulang LOL. Namun tetap saja, sensei selalu berhasil membuat cerita yang meresap ke dalam diri pembaca dan tidak akan terlupakan.

On retrouve ici le génie de la narration de Mitsuru Adachi.
Par contre, même s'il s'agit d'un de mes auteurs préférés, il me faut reconnaître une chose : ce premier tome est confus. Il y a trop d'exposition, trop de fils narratifs, et pas assez d'enjeux.
Tout se passe comme si l'auteur était en phase de tâtonnement (Selon moi, l'histoire ne commence vraiment qu'au tome 2).

Read in 2016:
在一眾荒誕誇張的愛情漫畫中，有一個安達充，將青春戀愛歸為平淡的小事，但正是小事才令人揪心。設定也是老土，但非常處理得好，一切的基礎--「在意」，兩者一步步地緊張建立他們之間的事，步伐很好，運動的晃子也不太誇大。特別是緒方呀，這種努力而放棄的人總是能夠贏得我心，故事適當地完了，戀愛後的煩事就不要提了。青春的夏天只永恆於「捉捕」的過程，不能在越過了。佢係咁重複畫女性嘅泳裝，實在太青春了這視覺，線條也實在太美，看得令人有點迷戀，I love this piece.❤️

Adachi Mitsuru's ROUGH
Keisuke Yamato always received a mysterious postcard every new year that told him he was a murdered. Years later, in the high school, he finally met the culprit, a fascinating girl named Ami Ninomiya. She mix their family rivalries into their relationship. But, what if the misunderstanding change into love? Makes them modern era Romeo-Juliet huh?
The setting located mostly in the swimming pool, because the main characters are swimmer and diver... so you could expect some fan services guys :))

Son schéma narratif ne se démarquant pas, au fil de ses séries, par sa grande originalité, lire une série d'Adachi, c'est un peu avoir survolé tout son répertoire.
Mais avec l'excellent Touch, Rough est un manga relativement court (12 tomes) sur la natation sous fond - comme d'hab' - de romance lycéenne, la sauce prend.
