After reading Zefyris's explanation about Koukyuu Rakuen Kyoujou - Harem League Baseball, I'm curious......... is the Gender-Bender tag correct too? If it is, then does that mean the MC is a guy cross-dressing as a girl and joins the emperor's harem by pretending to be a girl and plays baseball with them?


Yes, you guessed well. Although the review I quoted above don't cover that point at all, other reviews make mention of this point. He disguise himself indeed to enter the harem palaceand assassinate the emperor. There, it seems like he get himself involved in the baseball matches... I don't think that was what he had planned though.

In fact, , I would guess that the girl on the cover is actually the MC cross dressing. Not sure though.

Because that emperor love baseball, the harem concubines give their best to appeal to him and being favored by him by playing well baseball.
That author is among those authors knows to be able to construct a proper story line and world building with components that seem to be difficult to conciliate. ImO this is a skill that most author are lacking. ImO the only japanese authors outside of him that I saw being able to do that until now were Kawakami and more or less Akira~.

This guy must be pretty strong/bad-ass huh? Anime adaptation please!

Ikuta is the most badass military tactician I've seen. He's also well developed and one of the few male protagonists that I find charming.

Now I'm even more interested in the series. I hope it gets an anime adaptation soon.

An assassin huh? If the girl on the cover really is the MC, then wow, he must be really good at disguises.

Also, since there's no comedy tag, I'm having a hard time imagining him getting sidetracked into playing baseball with the girls and his interaction with the girls, without it being comedic in nature lol. Maybe its because most animes I've watched that have such scenes/events are comedies.

Well, at least the girls love their emperor, and since it only has one volume, I doubt there was any time to even have any romance between the MC and any of the girls (even though that would be NTR lol).

The thing I'm most curious about though, is the baseball. Must be a pretty big harem for one, and how the MC actually plays into the baseball parts of the story.

It still surprises me that the Index, at 1st place years in row until it's last volume, continuing in the top Novels after ending and still they didn't adapted the fucking whole thing, stopped at a cliffhanger!!! The cow is still full of milk when will they do it!?

what are you talking about? Index is still running with its second series. That's the second series you're seeing in the ranking, not the first.
And that second series will take year to finish, as well.

YEah, some people in the reviews were expecting a comedy judging by the component of the story, and were surprised that it's not. This author wrote well done comedy as well before, like Kuzu ga mirumiru sorenari ni naru for example, so it's not like the author didn't know how to do that properly. Still, he choose instead something serious, like he did with vampire summer time, and well, seems like it works.
The baseball part, which is the main focus, has been praised quite a bit by everyone. Seems like it really transcribes well this sport.

Sorry, a "happy trigger" episode, didn't notice... But still frustrated that they aren't adapting the rest.

hmm, seems like i'm not the only one who uses this list to find new unknown things to read. I like a decent amount of the popular LNs but seriously; this list is far better to see where the lesser known series rank. You don't really need a poll to affirm that what you're reading is worth it if you're already 10+ volumes into the series.

Really? I'm not sure about the LN, but I liked the movie Tsuioku quite a lot. Different tastes perhaps.

Definitely different tastes, considering I wasn't more impressed by the movie than the LN, either.
