Ace of Diamond: The Pitcher Returns

I really don't understand what benefit the author gets from having the protagonist make lewd jokes with a 13-year-old underage girl.

It's getting better and better, but I feel like the protagonist is still missing something. The "Great Demon King" represents the final boss, evoking fear and despair, and Sawamura doesn't seem to have that quality yet. Could the final year of high school allow all high school students in Japan to experience what "fear" and "despair" truly mean?

The author seems to have been diligently reading the reader community, which genuinely moved me. Plus, I've been getting some free reading material these past few days, so I'm finally writing a proper review of Eijun. Since I'm not interested in Akagi, I started reading from Seido, and I'm currently on the part where the little wolf cubs are taking their entrance exams.

It's practically an original character wearing Rong Chun's clothes. Although he's a bit disrespectful to elders in general, he respects them both in his heart and in his actions. What is this chapter about? "But is your ball, Kawakami's, considered a powerful ball?" A cold smile appeared on Rong Chun's lips.

To be honest, I was quite engrossed in the beginning because the original story's protagonist, Ace of Diamond, was constantly getting defeated, which made me wonder what it would be like if he went back to first grade after becoming an ace. This book fulfilled my fantasy. Unfortunately, I lost motivation to continue reading after the Spring Ace game.

After losing his second match against Narumiya Inashiro, the Koshien organizers actually said that Seido wouldn't be able to compete without them, especially since Sawamura's popularity and the tournament's suspense were crucial, so they gave him a wildcard. This is toxic; it makes it feel like a celebrity entertainment program, not pure entertainment, and the nature of the show changes.

I came from your third book, and this one is completely unreadable. It's filled with the overpowered protagonist trope from years ago. Sawamura the Great Demon King? Demon King's Guard? Have you been watching too much anime? This is a baseball player, not a celebrity idol, not AKB48!

Overall, it's pretty good, but the protagonist's plot armor is too strong. The predictable, one-sided victories are acceptable in a fantasy genre, but they become a bit dull in a sports competition. While it's not that the author is forcing the protagonist's team to lose, isn't it a bit much to have them shut out so frequently?

I've read it three times; there's no better book about diamonds than this.

Sigh, forcibly weakening Seido's strength while increasing Inashiro's is getting a bit boring.
