There are zero plot twists (it starts with two leaflets,and ends up with a tree), and each step is carefully and painstakingly developed. We know from the beginning who is going to be a great player, and who Aoba will end up with. I have long abandoned any idea of being surprised, and just enjoy the flow of it.

The baseball games are really secondary to the emotional and physical growth of the characters. The games are almost used to highlight a new development in the relationship between Koh and Aoba. As Koh becomes more competitent and handles game situations in a more mature manner, so does the relationship move forward. There are other subplots that are probably going to be introduced but the baseball games just don't seem as important. As long as they reach Koshien. At which point the series will reach a watershed momement and hopefully a nice conclusion. I completely agree with the above opinion.

Though I can't say the same about well developed rivals, competing teams are just there (I don't think this series <i>really</i> focuses on baseball, though it is important its not the highlight though it is getting attention in the latter chapter but I wouldn't necessarily say it draws all the attention to it like say Oofuri).

We need some more conflict to spice things up." Don't worry. “but we’ve reached the point at which it’s beginning to get repetitive. We need some more conflict to spice things up.”

Don’t worry.
