• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

objectively: probably 3.5☆
personally: 5☆

If you haven't read this book before, pay attention to the trigger warning for the series.

You'll probably love this series if you like sports anime or soap operas. Nothing about the plot is realistic, but it sure is engaging. The characters are all deeply flawed, yet written in a way that humanizes them. 

Would recommend if you like your books full of bat-shit-insane drama and flawed (but relatable) character.

Would not recommend if youre looking for a serious book or beautiful prose.

Edgy, violent boys. Improbable and wild events. It's giving problematic sports anime you keep watching despite literally everything about it.
