MAJOR 36 (Shonen Sunday Comics)

[Machine Translation] Goro, an energetic baseball boy with a father who is a professional baseball player, pursues his big dream of becoming a professional baseball player in this authentic baseball development drama! In the spring, Taiga joins the club, and the nine members of Seishu immediately start playing practice games. First, they won a crushing victory over a no-name school, Yutoku High School. The next team to play was the second team from Kaido High School, where Goro used to play. Kaido is led by Egashira. Apparently, Egashira is planning something. In this game, Goro was ordered by manager Yamada not to pitch for strikeouts in order to practice the defensive lineup. So he could not pitch at his best, but Seishu did his best, both defensively and offensively, and managed to hold on to a 4-6 lead after the top of the 6th inning. However, an incident occurred in the bottom of the 6th inning. A Kaido player, attempting a safety bunt, intentionally stepped on Goro's foot as he covered first base in a ploy by Egashira. Goro suffered a serious injury, tearing a ligament, which will take three months to heal. If this continues, the summer tournament is doomed...? A boy suddenly appears in front of the Seishu baseball team and challenges Goro to a game. It seems as if he would do well if he even grazed the ball, but he catches Goro's fastball and hits it back. Although the ball was a short ground ball and not a hit, everyone was surprised by his extraordinary batting sense. The boy is actually Kaoru's younger brother, Taiga. He is a talented player with experience in the Little League and Senior League. He is currently in the third grade of junior high school and declares that he will go on to Seishu and play baseball ( episode 1 ).
