Nanashima’s high school baseball team missed going to the nationals by
one heartbreaking game during his 2nd year in school. Now as a 3rd year
and team captain, he sees that the team is nothing compared to last
year. The all star starters from last year have graduated and Nanashima
is left with unskilled and, more importantly, unmotivated players that
have no shot at making the nationals. That is when Mr. Toku, an old man
in the neighborhood who has watched every practice and every game the
school has ever played for the past few decades, secretly entrusts
Nanashima with 1.000.000 yen. Mr. Toku wants Nanashima to use the money
however he wants to ensure the team makes it to the nationals. But that
large of an untraceable fund is too big of a responsibility for a high
school teenager and even a goodhearted kid like Nanashima might fall
into its temptation.
