Read the full take
The year is 1949. Japan had been defeated in World War II and was occupied by Allied forces. A young woman sets out to pursue her ambitions in a world that does not expect her to. The premise is a sports drama set against the difficult backdrop of postwar Japan, where ambition and tradition collide.The strength is the heroine. Her determination is inspiring, and the postwar setting gives the story real weight. The sporting scenes are engaging and the cast is well drawn.The weaknesses are about the length and age. The run is long, and some arcs feel uneven. The art and pacing belong to the late nineties.Recommended for readers who enjoy historical sports dramas. Expect an earnest, dated read with a strong heroine.
