Just finished reading One Outs, well I say finished. There were 7 more "extra" chapters that I honestly couldn't be bothered to read, and I just said it's finished. If anyone enjoys Baseball and Gambling put together, make sure you watch/read it. I'm sure you'll love it.
I also started reading Strongest Man Kurosawa, a manga about a 44 year old man who just wants to be loved by his coworkers and be popular, but every attempt at being a nice guy or doing nice things backfires (For example, he told all his coworkers to stop work to drink beer and take the rest of the day off. Thinking he'd become super popular because of it, he went away to get snacks, and when he came back not a single person drank the beer and thought it was a really weird and cringe worthy gesture. Isolating him more). Even outside his job.
It's a really sad manga that I'm sure a lot of people could relate to or understand. The first chapter starts on his birthday as well, which no one mentions and he spends 3 hours in a crappy restaurant to "celebrate".
Anime wise, I've started to watch Cromartie High School, Black Lagoon and a cool anime from the 80's called "Armour Hunter Mellowlink" which is about a guy who lost his whole squad due to commanders negligence and wants revenge. So the whole show is about a kid with a massive rifle taking out huge Gundam by himself. It's pretty good.
