Its feathers were damp, and it looked utterly weary from a long journey. On that diamond-shaped baseball field, countless people struggled through the dirt for their dreams. Sweat, tears, and blood blended into a dark mess, while cicadas echoed in their chests with every breath. Under the blazing sun, youthful dreams can only evaporate or be tempered into brilliant diamonds. But there is only one crown, and the only way is forward, ever forw 2.5kFavorites3.4kClicks/ch8.8kGifts

   I've seen part of it, and it's alright. Shiratori is the ideal type of player—strong pitching ability and consistent performance on the court—with a slightly fantastical element. Let's see how it's explained later.

"Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!" Compared to the excitement on the mound, the dugout was much quieter. Before everyone's eyes could turn to her, Sawamura Eri quickly spoke up about the pitcher writing an essay on the mound, promising she'd have a good talk with that pitcher after the game. Come on!!! Stop looking at me like, "They're both Sawamuras, so why are they so different!" #I was only joking when I got my brother, who' 1.4kFavorites2.8kClicks/ch2.1kGifts

   It's still free now, and it's by the same author as the previously recommended "Ace Pitcher: Raise Your Arms and Shout." It's similar to a manager game, where the pitcher is better than the player.

   It's good. I found it through the recommendations. Although it doesn't have many favorites, it's a rare gem among baseball stories.

   It's an otome game (female role-playing game) where the main character is a female baseball player. While it feels a bit unrealistic, you don't need to be too realistic when reading novels. (Staying in the shopping basket)

   Someone recommended it, but I heard it's a stream-of-consciousness story and hasn't been updated in a while, so I'm a little hesitant to read it. I'll just check it out when I suddenly feel like reading it someday.

    The heavy emotions of baseball, unlike the flavor of volleyball, focus on players who control the overall situation and steer the game in their favor.

    The relationship between the protagonist and his father is worth appreciating. It's a story of "You are my best work; even though you want to leave me, you still seek my opinion and follow my plan." This twisted and complicated father-son relationship in an East Asian family is purely paternal, except that the father places his heavy expectations as an athlete on his son.
