Shirakawa’s Passionate Baseball

[Note: Baseball crossover with multiple anime series!!!] Haruka Shirakawa is a first-year student at Teito High School. He's about to join the Teito baseball team as a catcher alongside his childhood friend. Throughout his not-too-short, not-too-long baseball career, he's stuck with the sport entirely for the sake of his childhood-friend pitcher. And if you ask whether he likes baseball? He'd say, “If it were just a little cooler during games, I could put up with it... I guess you could say I like it.” Spring, fall, and winter are all great seasons for baseball. Summer is the one exception... Taiyo Mukai: My only dream is to stand on the pitcher's mound at Koshien and keep pitching, forever and ever! Haruka Shirakawa: Then go to the Spring Koshien. That's Koshien too... Taiyo Mukai: No! Spring Koshien doesn't count! Only summer, only the Summer Koshien! Haruka Shirakawa is a highly intelligent catcher with a double standard. He's got a strong arm and a powerful bat, but his skills only fully come out when the sun is hidden. Taiyo Mukai is a pitcher who firmly believes that he and Haruka Shirakawa are the strongest battery. In fact, aside from dreaming of going to Koshien, he also dreams of getting his childhood friend to genuinely enjoy playing baseball under the sun. P.S.: 1. This is a story set in a parallel world to my other book, The Shirakawa Boy Thinks the Volleyball-Playing Fox Is Untouchable. In this version, Haruka doesn't take up volleyball and instead stays in Tokyo to play baseball. You don't need to have read the other book, since the characters won't overlap. 2. No romance. 3. The story is split roughly evenly between daily life and games. 4. The main focus is Ace of Diamond, but other sports anime will appear too, including Boukyaku Battery, Big Windup!, and Mix. 5. OOC warning. 6. I won't abandon this story, even if I get stuck. Warnings: 1. The original Ace of Diamond focuses on games in West Tokyo, where Seido is based. This story focuses on East Tokyo, where Teito is based, and on the first-years' trip to Koshien, so most of the games are original. 2. The protagonist has poor social skills, not a poor head on his shoulders. 3. If you don't like it, you can leave. Please don't post hateful comments, such as ones with insults, in the comments section. I'll delete them. [Blurb written on 2025/4/6] Theme: Friendship means helping you stand on the field at Koshien.
