Number 6, second base, Tsushima-kun
Akikawa leads?
To points thanks to You, they say.
For real?
Guess the starting pitcher is Furuya?
Yeah... It can't be Tanba.
What the heck are you doing, Kouichirou..

Page 03

I didn't feel anything fearsome from the team itself though.
Hiro... You were watching?
But he didn't cross the ocean and came to Japan for nothing.
Ichida Sankou Captain // Oomae Takahiro (3rd-year)
That dude You got an incredible concentration on every pitch.
I just hope these two points won't decide the game...

Page 04

Don't worry.
Come---

Page 05

Strike, Batter out!!
ok, ok. Nice pitching, Furuya!!
You did well stopping them there!!
...
I thought my hit would shake them more...
That pitcher is unexpectedly tough...

Page 06

And that catcher---- He asked for the same pitch that was hit before
and is pulling in the pitcher with his strong lead...
Nice hit, Shun!
That we scored this inning was important after all----
Nice hit!
What's Furuya's pitching count?
24... // They made him pitch quite a lot...
It's just the first inning. Don't take it to heart.
We're going to get the points back!!
Shut off that aura of yours!

Page 07

Get over it.
What's important is what comes after getting hit.
...
Tanba-san...
Listen! When you're hit, blame it on Miyuki's lead! // You can get over it like that.
I see...
Hey, hey...

Bottom of the first, Seidou High School's turn to attack.
Number 1, short-stop, Kuramochi-kun.
Kuramochi, hit it~~!!
Turn around this inning!! // Create a chance~~!!
To bring down such a clever pitcher, we need mobility and bunts...
I take you understand that you getting on base will put pressure on him.
Hyaa

Page 09

Let's see how good You-kun's pitching works against Seidou strong line-up after being two points in handicap...
It's a game you can't avert your eyes from even for a second...
Play!

Page 10

To make use of my legs
I need to get on the base first!!
Third-base!! A Safety!!

Page 11

B- Busted....
Then towards first base.
Hyaa
You!!

Page 12

Out---!!
Nice fielding, Shun---!!
Nice, Shun!!
They did their research.
He should have let the first pitch pass there...
Where are you hitting it?
It needs to be closer to the line!!
Shut up!! (Being told that by you, really pisses me off)

Page 13

Ryousuke~~!!
Number 2, second base, Kominato-kun.
Ryou-san!!
Nice move...
I specially came to Tokyo from Kanakawa, but Taiwan...
That's really amazing...

Page 14

But sorry,
I'm a bit mean.

Page 15

Foul!
Yeah! That's the seventh pitch!!
The pitcher won't hold out!
Good, Ryousuke! Continue!
Heh...

Page 16

When you think they only got a pitcher who can't pace himself...
there pops up a player with a skill like that...
(Interesting)

Page 17

Ball!
It's a good course, but it was a slightly outside ball...
...
What an amazing pitcher...
For a while now, he accurately pitches where the catcher sets up.
He slightly switched it inside...
Don't tell me
they're switching between slightly outside and slightly inside?

Page 18

High School Pitcher are----
bold!!
But it's off...
Good, that makes four balls----

Page 19

Strike!
Batter Out!!
....
...
What?
..Nothing
If he says that on a pitch I let by because it was in a dubious spot, then...

Page 20

Brother let a pitch by?
Tch...
Now we can't let by any pitches in dubious places anymore!
Through continuous precise pitching into the catcher's mat
he took the ref's judge on his side....
...
That's the pitching of You Shunshin
the precise machine.
