The 1st episode just out and I'm really stoke for this. Been a fan of Adachi Mitsuru since watching Cross Game. Read the manga and absolutely love the connection it had to Touch.
However this anime would only appeal to fan of Adachi Mitsuru's works. The story going to be slow-paced. No actual serious romance or action. Some school politics conflict and some siblings rivalry. Overall the story going to be a grind for those who love a fast-paced story filled with plot twist. This story was a bit vanilla.
Suppose to be sequel to Touch but so far in the manga, only certain previous characters showed up and some mention here and there. For those never read/saw Touch will have no problem watching this as the story explain itself. For the old fans, waiting for the references will seem like forever.
