[Read all▲▼] Baseball Heaven (manga) [Rating▲▼] Not really good [Comment▲▼] 
I liked the other Ellie Mamahara books I read, but I was pretty disappointed with this. I'm not a baseball fan, and even I noticed a lot seemed "off" with the baseball aspect. The mangaka admits in her notes that she didn't have a lot of research matertial and neither her nor her editor knew anything about baseball. So...why? Why not pick something you are more familiar with to base your story on? To be fair, the baseball is mostly just used a window dressing. The actual story is the teammate romance, but even that felt kinda contrived. Do baseball players in Japan live in dorms? Is all that ass smacking just a sign of latent homosexuality? Really, this book is dumb. On the plus side is Mamahara's art. While sometimes proportionally challenged, it doesn't resort to making one of the guys "the girl". They both look masculine and the same size. Points for that at least.
