Synopsis

Haruka Kiyomine and Kei Kaname were once a legendary pitcher-catcher duo in middle school baseball. Kaname, nicknamed "the General," ran the games with brilliant strategy while Kiyomine threw absolute heat—together they crushed opponents and crushed dreams, ending the baseball aspirations of plenty of kids who thought they'd make it big. Tarou Yamada was one of those kids. He quit baseball after his loss and enrolled at Kotesashi High, a totally unremarkable public school with no baseball program at all. Then he finds out his new classmates are the exact duo who destroyed him. But here's the twist: Kaname's amnesia turned the calculating General into a crude, obnoxious class clown. Having lost interest in baseball entirely, Kaname dragged a reluctant Kiyomine to Kotesashi just because it was convenient. When Kotesashi starts up a baseball club, Yamada discovers that several of his old rivals are there too—all of them has quit baseball like him. They're not eager to play again, but Yamada sees a chance. If he can get these talented players back on the field, maybe they can finally achieve what they couldn't before and win nationals. The catch? They'll have to deal with Kaname's constant jokes the whole way.
