Mitsuru Adachi

Writer

Japanese manga artist known for blending sports competition and adolescent romance into understated, melancholic stories; notable works include Touch, H2, Rough and Cross Game.

Known for combining sports suspense and teenage romance with a melancholic, understated atmosphere; drawing style often described as effective for mood and storytelling rather than ornate detail.

The review (by Flame) praises Rough as a concentrated example of Adachi's strengths: teenage romance set against sports competition, a melancholic atmosphere and a deceptively simple drawing style. The reviewer sees a recurring narrative device: an initial obstacle that blocks romance, then the story explores possible developments. Rough is described as a strong, compact work and one the reviewer rereads willingly.

For:Fans of sports and romance manga, readers of coming-of-age stories, people who enjoy melancholic, understated storytelling.

 Being able to enjoy Mitsuru Adachi is an achievement enough to earn the stripes of an otaku on one's shoulders? I wonder just to know if I should confess such a past to myself, because I liked Adachi and I still enjoy rereading a couple of his mangas from time to time.
