A baseball diamond, a love triangle, and two catchers with their eyes on the same pitcher bring the heat in this baseball BL perfect for fans of Nagisa Furuya's My Summer of You.
Makoto’s favorite childhood memories are of playing baseball with his best friend and former teammate Shusuke, the catcher of his baseball team. When Shusuke suddenly moved away, Makoto was left devastated, but he clung to the promise of the two of them someday reuniting for the championship game at Koshien Stadium.
Now in high school, Makoto is the ace pitcher of the baseball team, and he and Hokuto, the team’s catcher, are an all-star duo. But then Shusuke suddenly transfers back to Makoto’s school, and it gets harder and harder for the boys to keep their heads in the game under the scorching heat of the baseball diamond...
"Every so often, the angst hits just right… Dondon's art is softer than I expected for a sports manga, but it works very well, and Makoto's big-eyed look, paired with his prickly demeanor, makes it clear why he catches people's attention… If you're in the mood for grounded angst with BL and baseball, give this a chance." –Anime News Network
"I truly can’t believe a love triangle story has got me, but it got me good y’all and I’m down bad. Blue Summer Haze may just be the love triangle story. I am already counting down to volume 2." –The Wonder of Anime
"The art style is gorgeous and this especially shows strongest during the emotional scenes. Makoto is very expressive with shining wide eyes and full-faced blushes when he's flustered or upset. The cover is eye-catching and really captures the whimsy of a high school summer romance. If you enjoy a good balance of drama, sports, and angst wrapped up in the whirlwind of youth, you will enjoy reading the first volume of Blue Summer Haze." –Nostalgia Department
