5.0

This series is absolutely unhinged, bordering on offensive, but something about it just works. The mix of intriguing characters, simple writing with lyrical parts, a plot with twists that are so over the top intense, and a constant feeling of mystery and suspense, just WORKS, even though it has no right to. The over-the-top-ness makes a bit more sense when remembering this was supposed to  be a manga in its origins, but I for one am glad it made it into book form.

Sports plots aren't usually something that draws me, but the team dynamics, and the sports obsession as a background and driving motivation for the characters worked out very well.

For anyone interested in this, please check out content warnings first. The first book is already intense but starts comparatively tame. Going to  include content warnings for all books in the series for this one.

This is objectively a bad book. It’s chock full of misinformation about mental health, trauma p0rn and edgy shit BUT, you truly cannot help bonding with these characters. I hate how much I loved these people. I can’t in good conscience though give it a higher rating.

No book has ever given me more anxiety than this book.

Check your trigger warnings.

This book is not particularly well written, but it is incredibly captivating. This is one of the more unique, creative, and wholly inventive books I've ever read. I wish this author had had a better editor/editing team, but this will capture your attention from cover to cover.

Everything about this book is crass. There are several very off-color rape jokes and the violence is so casually brutal I was constantly flinching.
