Rookies by Morita Masanori

#)8 #it always feels a little disingenuous #to talk about rookies as a classic sports manga #it’s told through sport #it’s about a sport #but really rookies is about teenage boys who aren’t equipped with the self worth #to navigate a world that’s decided they’re not worth trying to save #so they find themselves having fights and smoking and generally being nuisances #because they’ve trapped themselves in a world where that’s all they’ve really got #and it isn’t until koichi kawato slams in #and tells them they have to open their hands #before anyone will open a hand to them #that anything changes. #i really just love rookies lmfao #rookies #self worth issues // (via taiyomukai)
