The January 2021 issue of Kadokawa's Asuka magazine revealed on Tuesday that Chikage Yuniwa will resume their manga adaptation of Atsuko Asano's Battery novels in the magazine's next issue on December 23.

Asano's novels revolve around Takumi Harada, a young man who moves to a mountain town in Okayama prefecture during the spring break before he enters middle school due to his father's job transfer. Takumi is a pitcher, and after he moves he loses faith in his own talent, when suddenly his classmate G? Nagakura appears in front of him. G? has a strong desire to form a "battery" (a combination of a pitcher and catcher) with Takumi.

Yuniwa launched the manga in Asuka in 2005, but it went on hiatus in 2010. It resumed once again in August 2015, but went on hiatus again shortly afterward. Kadokawa published the manga's ninth compiled book volume in July 2016. Manga creator Takako Shimura drew a mini-series manga based on the Battery novels in 2016.

Kyouiku Gageki originally released the novel series in hardback between 1996 and 2005, and Kadokawa re-released the series in paperback in 2003-2007. A live-action film adaptation opened in Japan in 2007, and a live-action television series aired in 2008. A television anime adaptation of the novels premiered in July 2016 in Fuji TV's Noitamina anime block. Discotek Media released the anime on Blu-ray Disc on May 26.

Asano's No. 6 novels also inspired a manga and a television anime adaptation.
 
that's really cool but i don't know hat author lol
not that i pay attention to these mangaka and all. but i have never ever heard of them.
 
This one is very broad manga, didn't get everything it was talking cos of many non English language names of its stars.
 
If you look I didn't make contribution to it cos I was lost of the none English language it portrays. Their is nothing I took as derivative. That's why I'm expecting to see all English manga story.

The character names of the Japanese and Chinese descents confuse me more than you do. That's why I rarely remember their names after learning about them.
