All in all, love stories are growing at a nice pace.
Too bad there isn't some competition in the sport part of the story, like a strong team they'd need to teach a lesson to.
I hope that comes relatively soon. They mentioned something about summer before (I'm guessing baseball's a summer game), but I think it was more in reference to the fact that after summer, they'll be in their third and final year, hence no more chances for Azuma to change schools.

Defeating the main team from their school came about much earlier than I had thought. I expected both teams to get into the tournaments, and that their actual match was a deck-out for the regional championship.

Normally I'd cry in frustration at this sort of pacing, not because it feels slow, but from dreading the coming of either a rushed or anti-climatic climax. With a 51 episode schedule though, I feel comfortable letting this roll for a while yet. The games themselves don't actually take that much time, which has its good points.
