Asano's novels revolve around Takumi Harada, a young man who moves to a mountain town in Okayama prefecture during the spring break before he enters middle school due to his father's job transfer. Takumi is a pitcher, and after the moves he loses faith in his own talent, when suddenly his classmate Gou Nagakura appears in front of him. Gou has a strong desire to form a "battery" (a combination of a pitcher and catcher) with Takumi.

Reviews

Battery was like scoring a grand slam in the 1st inning but somehow losing in the 9th.

One thing that I strongly feel need of getting out before anything else is that this may or may not be what you expect.
