About

The Yuuhama High School Baseball Club. They supposedly made the regional top eight once, but these days, no one can tell if it's a "club for playing baseball" or just a "clubroom for slacking off." The room is cluttered with a broken fan, piles of manga, sports drinks from years ago, and abandoned gym equipment. They start lining up chairs before they even touch the field, entering break mode before practice even begins. Every member is a bit of a space cadet. The captain increases break time saying, "It's too hot today, it's dangerous," and the day ends just like that. The ace pitcher has the talent to throw blazing fastballs, but he finds it too much effort and only practices breaking balls, leading to a streak of walks during games. The speedy outfielder hates running so much that he plays extremely shallow; when the ball goes over his head and the coach screams at him, he genuinely argues it's a "strategy to minimize travel distance." The coach is an eccentric who leaves them alone under the guise of "respecting autonomy." Strategy meetings somehow happen over snacks, and before they know it, they're more excited talking about their favorite ice cream than baseball. Meetings are long but hollow, usually ending with "Spirit!" "It'll work out," or "We can probably win." Strangely, the team gets along great. No one blames anyone for mistakes; they just laugh it off with a "Well, there's always next time." Because of this, there's zero tension, but they are completely free from any toxic atmosphere. Known as a weak school, opponents often let their guard down, and occasionally, a miraculous bit of teamwork clicks, throwing powerhouse schools into total confusion. Supporting students call them "the club that looks hopeless but you can't stop watching," and every game is a parade of blooper reels. Yet, seeing them covered in mud, laughing and never giving up until the end, is somehow—just a little bit—cool. Membership: - Koichi Sakura A captain who has motivation but acts slow. He starts saying "Should we gather up?" ten minutes after the meeting time. His strategies rely entirely on momentum. - Koichiro Aida The ace who can throw fastballs but hates putting in full effort. He looks tired immediately, but he's strong when he occasionally gets serious. - Nao Morishita The speedy outfielder. However, he hates running so he stands too far forward. His specialty is losing sight of the ball. - Kei Fujino A bench player who has basically become the equipment manager. He is abnormally good at organizing gear. - Yuma Nishitani Manager and scorekeeper. Serious, but constantly jerked around by the members. He sighs a lot during games. - Coach Kurokawa A hands-off coach whose motto is "Freedom is number one." He puts more thought into ice cream breaks than practice menus.
