Where it came from
Major is a long-running sports manga series written and illustrated by Takuya Mitsuda, originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 1994 to 2010. The narrative follows the life of Goro Honda, a young boy who dreams of becoming a professional baseball player like his father, chronicling his growth from childhood through his eventual career in Major League Baseball. The series is celebrated for its deep commitment to the sport, blending intense match sequences with a longitudinal character study that spans over a decade of the protagonist's life.
Mitsuda’s design philosophy for the series centered on a realistic and emotionally resonant depiction of the struggles inherent in professional athletics. By focusing on the relentless nature of training and the complex dynamics of team relationships, the series became a cornerstone of modern sports manga. Upon its release, it was met with significant acclaim, eventually winning the 47th Shogakukan Manga Award and inspiring a multi-season anime adaptation that solidified its status as one of the definitive baseball stories in the medium.
