Okiku Furikabutte, also known as Oofuri. Yet another baseball manga. Is there something about baseball that makes it be an automatic indicator of quality? Main character is annoying at first, but if you can wade through the first several chapters, most people find he becomes weirdly endearing. Also there is a strong enough supporting cast that you can focus on other characters. The mangaka is so excellent at characterization that she manages to flesh out bit characters who only appear for a few chapters. Read it, read it, then buy the Funi DVDs.
This thread is making is making realize how badly I need to catch up on manga. I'll get to it after I catch on on anime. Only a billion more episodes to go...
