Rough
Also known as: ラフ, 러프
by Mitsuru Adachi
Yamato Keisuke, a promising freestyle swimmer, and Ninomiya Ami, a talented diver, are the offspring of two rival families owners of confectionery shops. Two generations ago, Grandfather Ninomiya came up with an idea for an owl-shaped cake, but Grandfather Yamato quickly raised to the challenge and thought of a similar cake--but in Yamato's the owl had ears. Because they're priced the same, Yamato's extra ears were crucial, and that made the business of the Ninomiya confectionery suffered. Grandfather Ninomiya then fell ill worrying about his shop. Before his death, his last words were "I was killed by the Yamatos", and since that moment the two families have been sworn rivals.

Read the full take
Yamato Keisuke, a promising freestyle swimmer, and Ninomiya Ami, a talented diver, are the offspring of two rival families who own confectionery shops. The premise is a sports romance in which a family feud spills into the pool.The strength is the rivalry. The competitive tension between the two leads is engaging, and the sports scenes are energetic. The family setting adds humour and warmth.The weaknesses are about age and pace. The art and pacing reflect the late eighties, and the romance develops slowly. Readers used to modern storytelling may find it dated.Recommended for fans of classic sports romances with a rivalry at their heart. Expect a warm, dated read with a lot of heart. Readers who take it at its own pace will find the characters grow on them steadily across the run.
