blurb:
A baseball diamond, a love triangle, and two catchers with their eyes on the same pitcher bring the heat in this baseball BL perfect for fans of Nagisa Furuya’s My Summer of You.
Makoto’s favorite childhood memories are of playing baseball with his best friend and former teammate Shusuke, the catcher of his baseball team. When Shusuke suddenly moved away, Makoto was left devastated, but he clung to the promise of the two of them someday reuniting for the championship game at Koshien Stadium.
Now in high school, Makoto is the ace pitcher of the baseball team, and he and Hokuto, the team’s catcher, are an all-star duo. But then Shusuke suddenly transfers back to Makoto’s school, and it gets harder and harder for the boys to keep their heads in the game under the scorching heat of the baseball diamond…
The Basics:
Art: 4/5
Characters: 3/5
I really liked the FLs background and her overall demeanor. However, they really hammered in the ‘not like other girls’ aspect.
The ML is also fine and they are still ‘enemies’ by the end of this volume. Their dynamic is similar to grumpy x sunshine.
Plot/Story: 3/5
This starts fast and pulls you in immediately. I enjoyed the world-building with the Fianna and the backdrop not being in NYC or some other major city. Although, I did find the story a bit cheesy and repetitive.
I think this was a pretty standard spy romcom webtoon. It didn’t blow me away but was still entertaining enough to keep me reading.
sidenote: why was her spy uniform a skirt with such a high slit? lol
Writing/Dialogue: 4/5
“She’d never make it in this line of work. Her earrings are shaped like fruit, for god’s sake!”
Extras:
Sweetness + Giggles: 1/5
Second-hand embarrassment: 0/5
