In this young adult manga for older teens, best friends navigate college baseball training and sexy co-eds—including the coach's hot daughter. Temptation continues to come Bud's way as he enjoys the co-eds in his life, and even Manny is in for quite the "adult" experience... but as close as the two friends are, when it comes down to it, they react to the new challenges of college in completely different ways. In the end, it threatens to prove ruinous for their friendship, especially with a practice game looming on the horizon. Bud's finally broken the ice with Chrissie, but now he's got some new worries that may get in the way of the two of them ever taking the plunge . . . "Austen's real affection or his characters, even at their most hapless, comes through in the story's good-natured humor. The expressive, fluid drawings of hentai (adult manga) artist Otsuka give the story real warmth." — Publishers Weekly on Boys of Summer, Volume 1
