Game set. Eijun Sawamura, the pitcher of a novice junior high baseball team, meets with a bitter walk-off loss. For Sawamura, that became his last game in junior high, so he sets a new goal of going to the nationals in high school with his teammates. As he begins his hard quest on studying, a guest arrives unannounced. Her name is Rei Takashima, and she is the assistant director of the prestigious Seidou High School Baseball Team. Takashima invites Sawamura to Seidou after seeing his potential, but Sawamura's reply was far from what she had expected.
No hard feelings even 
if I happen to hit you!
will ich keine Beschwerden hören,
wenn ich dich treffe!
¡No tengas resentimientos 
si acabo golpeándote!
¡No me guardes rencor 
si acabo golpeándote!
Viens pas te plaindre 
si tu te prends une balle !
Sem ressentimentos, mesmo
 que eu acabe te acertando!
