Il maestro Adachi torna alla sua antica passione, il baseball, presentando una storia avvincente e dal gusto nostalgico: ventisei anni dopo si torna infatti al liceo Meisei, ambientazione storica di Touch! L’istituto che aveva ospitato i fratelli Uesugi, entrati poi nella leggenda, vede oggi gironzolare tra i suoi corridoi i fratelli Tachibana, che aspirano a oscurare la fama dei loro predecessori...

All’occhio esperto di Nishimura non è sfuggito il talento straordinario dei due fratelli, che vengono dunque invitati a iscriversi in un prestigioso liceo... Che decisione prenderà Toma?

About the author

Mitsuru Adachi

703 books224 followers
Mitsuru 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.

Me ha parecido el tomo más flojito hasta ahora. Ha sido bastante de transición entre una etapa y la otra.

Al final el misterio que rodeaba al número uno del equipo ha sido más triste de lo que esperaba 😢. Me alegro de que todo haya terminado bien, también en el sentido de darle a los hermanos Tachibana el papel que les corresponde dentro del club.

Era muy necesaria la entrada de nuevos personajes que animaran un poco la historia 😅. Tengo esperanzas en la hija del entrenador y en su amigo fortachón, espero que el autor les dé tramas y den juego. Ojalá que con ellos también se potencie el lado de la comedia romántica 😊.

Finalmente la storia sembra avere una svolta. Mi fanno riflettere alcune tavole che forse ci saranno anche trame sentimentali. Vedremo cosa succederà.
