Wataru ga Pyun!
Wataru transfers to Towadai, a small middle school, from Okinawa. He's naturally talented at baseball but has a reputation as a troublemaker—his attitude problems have gotten him bounced around from school to school. When he casually shows up to baseball practice one day, the team immediately wants to recruit him, but he's not interested. That changes when he falls for Seki Wakaba, the team manager, and decides to stick around. What follows is the team's journey through regional and eventually national tournaments. The story spans a single summer but somehow ran for 20 years across 58 volumes. One thing that makes this manga stand out is how heavily it incorporates Okinawan language and culture throughout, which you don't see often in baseball stories.
