Synopsis:

Meisei Academy once stood as a beacon of high school baseball prowess, a legacy built upon the legend of Tatsuya Uesugi. However, decades later, the team has fallen into obscurity, struggling to recapture past glories. The story follows stepbrothers Souichirou and Touma Tachibana as they strive to reignite Meisei's baseball program. Both possess exceptional talent – Souichirou demonstrating prowess behind the plate and at the plate, while Touma’s pitching abilities are undeniable, though currently sidelined by a personal matter. As they transition to high school, the brothers form a formidable battery, setting their sights on competing in the National High School Baseball Championship. The series explores themes of familial bonds, perseverance, and the weight of historical expectations within the context of competitive sports.
