reading the 1st volume And such a sweet love storyWhile the main story of recognizing and embracing love is concluded, it was the ball game that made up the entirety of the omnibus Not to complain though, it was one hell of a ball game.This book is the final book of the series, with lots of twist with Iyaco bubbling romance on the edge of marriage or not, KO, and the love triangles, and the
