   	I now am caught up on all 9 episodes to date of Mix and   
   Adachi still is writing well.  The brothers this time are much   
   more equally talented, again one is barely senior to the other.   
   Together they would form an impressive battery but the Pitching   
   Ace is a 3rd party with a very rich father and slack in his   
   training habits.   
   	   
   	But while reading I noted one his included advertisements   
   for another new series, "Ace Idol" which includes a gender bending   
   plot.  The great player is a girl who cannot compete at Koushien   
   according to the sexist rules.  The boy is talented at looking   
   like the photo Idol.   
   	I don't know if it can hold up as the device seems weak,   
   as if the boy was strong in sports as well it would be far more   
   reasonable.   
      
   	I hope Adachi lives for ever and has as much energy   
   at the end of his life as he does now.  The funny thing is   
   that I never was worth anything playing baseball but I really   
   enjoy reading these Adachi stories.   
      
   	These stories are available at MangaFox and probably   
   at other on line site, scanned and translated to titillate our   
   desire for entertainment.  Well it works to sell the paper   
   back and hard cover manga.
