Tags
Summary
Ace of Diamond is a baseball manga by Yuji Terajima, serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine since 2006. It follows Eijun Sawamura, a pitcher with little natural talent but extraordinary perseverance, who enters the prestigious Seido High School and, together with the gifted pitcher Satoru Furuya, the catcher Kazuya Miyuki, and others, sets his sights on Koshien. This is Volume 38 of the series, picking up the autumn tournament: the Tokyo autumn tournament semifinal begins, and Seido faces Narumine Academy, a team whose full-swing offense poses a serious threat. Seido starts Satoru Furuya, who is determined to become a true ace, while Seido's powerful lineup goes head-to-head with Narumine's heavy hitters. Who will claim the ticket to the final is the focus of this volume. The volume continues the series' signature realistic baseball depiction and youthful intensity, and beyond the game it also continues to portray the details of internal team competition.
Editor's review
《钻石王牌》被许多读者视为近二十年最扎实的棒球漫画之一。寺嶋裕二并不急着把主角捧成天才:泽村荣纯要一球一球争来上场机会,王牌位置更是队内公开竞争的战场。第38册正处在秋季大赛的关键节点,成孔学园的豪迈打线与降谷晓的速球正面碰撞,胜负之外更让人牵挂的是「谁才是青道的王牌」这一贯穿全篇的课题。对从动画版入门的读者来说,从这里补读原作,能更完整地体会比赛分镜的紧张感与人物内心独白的层次。东立方郁仁译本用词流畅、棒球术语处理清楚,适合与动画交叉阅读。虽然这一册只是长线故事中的一环,比赛节奏却相当完整,即使中途入场也能迅速跟上局势。
