Ookiku Furikabutte: Natsu no Scorebook

Ren Mihashi arrives at Nishiura High carrying the scars of years spent believing he never deserved to be a team's ace pitcher. Catcher Takaya Abe sees something different: extraordinary control, persistence, and a pitcher who could become formidable if he learns to trust his teammates instead of fearing them.

As Nishiura's newly formed baseball club enters the summer tournament, the players build their game around careful observation and the fragile partnership between Mihashi and Abe. Their test becomes much greater when they face established powerhouse Tosei. Every pitch, sign, and small act of confidence matters as a group of first-year players tries to prove that understanding one another can close a gap in experience that looks impossible on paper.
