When I first saw this, I knew nothing about Baseball. Like, nothing. And when Mihashi looked for the sign in the first episode, I thought he was staring at the catcher's crotch. Wow, I was stupid, wasn't I? xP And after the first two episodes, I was hooked. I loved the story and the characters and everything...~~ All in all, it's an amazing series ofr anyone interested in sports, or anything that gives off the "Slice of Life" vibe.
