MISHIMA Eriko
Koukou Kyuuji ZAWA-san (Zawa-san, a high school baseball player). Among the boy members of the team, the girl with a deep tan was going after the white ball… MIYAKOZAWA Risa is the only girl on a strong baseball team at a private high school in Tokyo. ZAWA-san, as everybody calls her, is a blunt but attractive baseball girl. The lovable and resilient everyday lives of ZAWA-san and the team members are depicted in a concise style, which sets the reader’s heart aflutter somehow. This is a manga of a baseball team and the treasured days of youth.
