The 21st issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine is announcing on Wednesday that Mitsuru Adachi, the manga creator best known for coming-of-age sports manga such as Touch and Cross Game, is launching a new baseball series called Asaoka Kōkō Yakyū-Bu Nisshi - Over Fence (Asaoka High School Baseball Team Journal - Over Fence) in the next issue. The story will center around Minori, the female manager of a high school baseball team.

I'm certainly excited about this. Especially just going by the simple story summary. Can't wait!

It's certainly different seeing Adachi go back to female protagonists. The only other series like this I know from him is Hiatari Ryoukou, which aired right after Touch. Unfortunately, it was never fansubbed until the end and as such I could never really watch it. It had some really cool themes though, haha.

Anyway, looking forward to next week already. My inner Adachi fan can't really wait for his new sports series!

I am really excited as well, just as I was really getting interested in Q and A the chapters stopped coming. Hopefully with this being in WSS instead of Gekkan Sunday it will get more love.

and it does sound interesting...

I just know he is going to pull off a pun on the recent "Moshidora" joke.

Count me excited, too. Just hope for scanlations, this time.

^Typical Adachi. I love her already.

totoum · 2011-05-02, 14:21

So I just checked out the RAWs , as always we've got our typical Adachi character designs so there's going to be some getting used to for some.
Appart from that I didn't understand much

BetoJR · 2011-05-02, 14:29

Hopefully, we'll get scanlations soon.

Nice, never get tired of Adachi somehow, no matter how little he changes his art style lol

totoum · 2011-05-13, 17:29

Just read the translated 1st chapter

Completely crazy premise but somehow it works.

Yajima has all kinds of potential,looking forward to seeing more of him.

GrimJack · 2011-05-13, 18:06

Thank for the info (as I quickly go to find it)

quite enjoyed it perhaps I am biased though

Shiroth · 2011-05-14, 03:53

Damn what a fantastic first chapter. 30+ pages, and it's totally pulled me in. I already care for the three characters that had the most focus.

So this is irregular right? Does that mean whenever Adachi can be bothered?

kuroishinigami · 2011-05-14, 04:01

Well, Adachi is not exactly young anymore. Weekly schedule might be too heavy of a load for him. I'll take what I get. I always love Adachi's work, even his short story XD.

Pacify · 2011-05-14, 04:19

I liked the first chapter, it is a pity its not really a weekly tho
