Hi friends and Adachi fans, this is your faithful translator for every
single word since the very first chapter of Cross Game. It's been a
long road we've traveled together, and according to Mr. Adachi there's
still some ground left to cover. For me and other fans of the sport of
baseball, this is the most exciting time of year -- as I write this,
it's just after midnight on the morning of October 1st, the first day
of the MLB playoffs. Over the next month there will be many fierce
battles to enjoy, but at the end, whether you're a fan of the sport or
just the manga, we'll all be stuck in the same boat, waiting for next
spring. It's frustrating to be taken away from your usual habit of one
chapter every week, but let's keep in mind that Mr. Adachi is getting
to be an old man, and he could surely use a rest to recharge his
batteries for Part Three. Remember to thank all the staff that's
brought you this great story so consistently and quickly... you fans
don't know how lucky you have it!
See you next spring,
Stephen

I caught on to Cross Game a little late. I had already bought a few issues of Sunday by then and then one Cross Game chapter stood out to me. It was 30 something, and I began to read the current Adachi work thanks to the guys here at Mangadownloads. Sure sometimes I felt that Adachi really knew how to string us along through chapters were almost nothing happened, but that's the important word, almost. I fell in love with Adachi's gift of nuance, and I fell in love with it through Cross Game. So when raws stopped showing up on winny and RSF, by then I was getting issues weekly, I thought, well it's the least I can do. So I'm very glad to be a small part in helping these guys bring you this very awesome manga. With luck I'll be here next spring as well (because I am finishing college in December and I should be getting a job @__@) and we'll enjoy the last part of Cross Game all together like we have.

Goodbye Koh. Goodbye Azuma. Goodbye everyone. I'll sure miss you lots.
I can't wait to be in april to read third part (probably the Ichiyo part, ending with her wedding? bets are on).
Anyway I hope you'll enjoy reading those chapters. and then rereading all previous chapters. This break in the weekly schedule might leave some time for us to advance on the HQ release we're kinda behind (totally my bad i've been lazy scanning lately).
I wishes you a good reading and don't worry there is still plenty of stuff to do (I recomand you to watch How I Met Your Mother). Be sure to left tons of comments.
Regards,
Athanor.
