Izumi Suzu, a prodigy with a blazing fastball who has topped the middle school rankings for most promising pitcher year after year, is a worthy ace with the skills to back it up.
He has no interest in being the center of attention. Happily clutching his fortune slip, Izumi Suzu heads to the high school fate has chosen for him, ready to enjoy the start of his brand-new high school life!
A soaring career, with dreams of becoming the number-one pitcher and enjoying baseball. Izumi Suzu spends three years at Seido, only to realize with a shock, as he's packing up to graduate, that the fortune he drew that day was... a love fortune.
To the new students at Seido, Izumi Suzu is a dream pitcher who exists only in the pages of magazines and other people's stories. Their strongest impression of him is simply the cute face printed in the magazines.
It isn't until one day, when he actually appears on Seido's field, that they begin to believe he's real and try to reconcile him with the image of a strong, reliable pitcher.
Wait... Being sunny and cheerful is great, but he's way too cheerful, to the point of being completely unrestrained! How is that reliable?!
Izumi Suzu: ^_^ ?
Reader's guide:
* Pairing with Miyuki. They're in the same year and are a battery.
* Slow to get going. I'll read the manga a few more times and check the guidebook first. I feel uneasy if I haven't read up on things TT
* I like sweet stories, no angst, and he gets along really well with his teammates.
* The protagonist is very strong and has a major cheat ability.
Theme: No one was serving up what I wanted, so I lit the stove and cooked it myself.
