The anime vibes in this I think will definitely draw in some middle grade readers! The characters were also great, struggling with things that a lot of people struggle with in middle school. Especially balancing different friend groups and trying to find where exactly you fit in.

However, I do think it longer than it needed to be. I appreciated everything Lilico was struggling with, I just think some of the plot lines could have been taken out. But other than that, if you're looking for a middle grade sports graphic novel, I'd recommend picking this one up!
