The paneling is superb in general and the rate at which the author and his assistants crank out amazing 2 page spreads in incredible. You can reliably expect one, usually two every chapter.

For anyone not reading it, the series is In Another World Where Baseball is War which is a mildly horny but otherwise great baseball isekai.

I've been wondering if they ever made a literal fantasy sports series.

Do the fantasy elements ever factor into the game?

In a world where baseball plays a pivotal role in people's lives, teams compete against each for supremacy, using spiritual and magical moves, as well as robots. Recently, a powerful demon took control of the land, and some humans began using the art of baseball for evil purposes. The malevolent Dark Baseballer has been terrorizing innocents, and it is up to a group of young people to restore justice.

All I can think when I read this is that the world would immediately devolve into stochastic terrorism.

It's *so* sad that someone set fire to your star player before the big game. But that's a criminal matter, nothing to do with our state sanctioned baseball war.

I gave up on it for exactly that reason, when the second opposing team decided "no reason to be good sports lol," and sent someone to burn down the protagonist's town in the middle of the night a month before their match.

Technically that kind of thing isn't allowed by god, but god can only see through the eyes of the fairies so stuff does get by unless you can present solid evidence. Not really an issue with the baseball players since the fairies are always hanging around the teams, but it does make other parts of your town vulnerable, especially if you're a place like Freedom that's been reduced to nothing but kids and the people too feeble to be worth enslaving.

I think the bigger issue is the fact that god doesn't seem to punish people for throwing games or trying to rig the playing field, but I guess the manga has to have something to provide tension.

Solid evidence of what? The point of stochastic terrorism is that Bill O'Reilly can scream about Tiller the Baby Killer every night and then act shocked when anyone mentions that that might be related to him getting murdered.

I’m just going off the text in the manga, where after the rabbits burn down part of freedom the response from the fairy is that this poo poo happens because they don’t have (hard) evidence to bring up to god because they didn’t catch the culprit.

It's an interesting cosmology because one god is literally omniscient at least of everything that's happened in his own world but the goddess has a really gimped way of keeping tabs on the mortals. Because the Fairies aren't drones or impartial observers, they are able to pick sides in a conflict which makes pinning down troublemakers problematic.

I couldn't get into Billy Bat because it was looking like it was going to rely a whole lot into the main character(s) conveniently remembering plot-essential things about their past episode after episode (not even in a repressed memories kind of way, just in a "the plot says I should remember this just now" kind of way) similar to how it went on in 20th Century Boys, but there ain't no such thing as a bad Urasawa panel

billy bat was kind of up its own rear end the whole time, but it still urasawa so it's better than most manga anyway.
