Summary: (from Manga Fox)

Professor Kawato is the new Japanese teacher in the ill-famed Futagotamaga high school, whose baseball club is composed by thugs and bullies who have been suspended for a year from all school competitions, for causing a brawl during an official match. Now that the suspension is over, the only club members left are only interested in women, smoking and doing nothing until, under professor Kawato guidance, they discover a new dream called Koshien. However, the road to Koshien is far from easy as many obstacles awaits them



my favorite delinquents!
imo, one of the most overlooked manga. I don't even know much about baseball, but I looooove Rookies!


ROOKIES = Inspirational + Baseball + Comedy + whole lotta ass kicking

If you like GTO or Slam Dunk, then definitely check out this manga biggrin.gif (or just check it out anyways, it doesn't matter hehe)

Oooh, inspirational sports manga! Yay!

The only baseball drama I've seen is called Ookiku F omething. Have you guys seen it? Compared to Ookiku, is Rookies better or worse?

What should I watch first? The drama or the manga? Is the drama even out yet?

yes, the drama just finished airing last week.

and about ur question about which to watch first, you know how sometimes there's a manga u love but then the anime/live-action doesn't do it any justice? well i garantee this is one of the most satisfying live-actions ever! i started watching the drama first and switched to manga while waiting for subs. then i just read/watch interchangeably
