Kyojin no Hoshi

Hyuma Hoshi has been raised for one purpose: to become a great professional baseball pitcher. His father Ittetsu, whose own baseball career was destroyed by war, subjects him to relentless training and places the dream of reaching the Yomiuri Giants above nearly everything else.

As Hyuma advances through school baseball and toward the professional stage, talent alone is never enough. Powerful rivals such as Mitsuru Hanagata force him to refine his dangerous pitching techniques, while victories, injuries, relationships, and his father's crushing expectations test what it truly costs to become a star.
