The Melancholy of Hanakago Springs

Also known as The Battery's Goal Is the World!, and The Double Catcher's Spectacular Play!

Toudou Juku IF: The best pitcher and the catcher with the most potential. What if, on the day Hanakago visited Toudou Juku, Ishimizu had chased after him...? Ishimizu: “Hanakago, let's become the world's number-one battery!”

Tama Industrial IF: The catcher least liked by pitchers and the catcher most popular with pitchers. What if Coach Karasuma hadn't come to recruit Hanakago, and Hanakago had visited Tama Industrial instead, where he met captain Eya Fumitoshi, whose gaze made him look like a dead man...? The catcher avoided by all his teammates, gloomy and lifeless, versus the yawn-loving catcher who ignores everything. The double catcher's spectacular play! The captain's most unusual and spine-chilling (?) affection!

Eya: “Kawasumi? Yonahara? Romance? All of that can wait! If you're a man, give baseball everything you've got!”

Soma IF: Absolutely delicious! To be decided.

I'm opening a new story for now and filling in the blurb on the fly. This is a reminder to myself to come back and fill it in after finishing “[Baseball] I Didn't Get Killed Today, Either!” Please add it to your collection, and lots of love.
