Cross Game, Omnibus 3
by Mitsuru Adachi
These stories are paced in a way that only a mangaka confident he won't be cancelled can pull off. Adachi likes romances that take a long time to simmer. Here we see Ko and Aoba draw slowly closer in a believable way. Meanwhile obstacles are introduced, then dismissed in comical ways, as is the case of the snotty baseball club manager, Risa Shido. Adachi creates memorable characters, but unlike other authors, his supporting cast never overshadows the main cast. He truly is masterful in storytelling.
