Stopper Busujima

Busujima is finally out... This is a really great manga. Tons of fun, and structurally speaking, much better than Beck. It starts off fast and never looks back.

Really cool, and it´s really fast paced!! Most characters kick @ss, as usual in Sakuishi mangas Very Happy

Great project guys!!!

I'm curious as to how much of the additional notes came from which sources... were there (m)any notes in the original raw, or was it all serious Japanese baseball nerdiness?

Whilst I appreciate the detailed notes and explanation of how Japanese baseball works and differs from American baseball, it doesn't lessen the fact that as a non-American/Japanese I have almost no idea of how baseball works at all, only that it's basically a faster version of cricket (another sport of which I'm ignorant; though culturally I'm more exposed to).

How much earlier was busjim done before Beck? The art style is noticably less evolved...

Everything in the post-chapter Notes files was from my own research. The only bits of info in the manga are either footnoted on the page itself or part of the narration.

I really like Stopper Busujima. Vol.2 was even better then Vol.1. I like the fact, that he is already pitching pro-games - not like most of the mangas were little kids are sometimes not even in highschool.

I hope you release more of this manga and many
people start reading Busujima. It's GREAT!!!!!!!!!

i don't like the fact that it's a pro game.

i think they should do the right thing and make it a junior high manga. and like they should have this one pitcher whose pitches look like there's 4 balls, one pitcher who pitches so fast it disappears, one pitcher who pitches so fast that it breaks the bat... oh so many possibilities! we'll have magazine reporters who actually follow junior high kids too!

busujima would be like a prince or something!

oh no, that would be the "the prince of Baseball".
I am glad Busujima isn't like that. In fact iam not a reality freak who doesn't like unrealistic sports-manga. But Busujima is great without crazy super moves that don't work in reality.

Don't work? It's just a matter of practice ;]

Yeah Busujima's pitching is totally realistic. He uses random grips and
somehow his pitching works whenever it makes the story better.

I am _such_ a reality freak.

I know. That must be a misunderstanding. I like Busujima because it's realistic. Also it was in Austria, i played baseball for about 6 years and in fact i was pitching a few years of that.

So: Busujima is realistic and it doesn't need any special moves. It's a great manga, and you do a great job scanlating it. Thanks

realistic is a really unlucky term. I mean, it´s a manga, so... should it be realistic? what IS realistic anyways? And is SB really realistic? ^^ (I think that even though without the super crazy moves it really isn´t a "realistic" manga, whatever it means, because it has that shonen manga thing where heroes have this monster-like strength which is, needless to say, unrealistic)
