Ren Mihashi, a gifted pitcher during his middle school days, faced a dark cloud of constant defeat that plagued his team. To make matters worse, he was subjected to relentless bullying by his own teammates, who eventually stopped caring about victory altogether. This demoralizing chapter culminated in Mihashi graduating with shattered self-esteem. Determined to leave behind the painful memories, he enrolls in a prestigious high school located in a different prefecture, with no intentions of joining the baseball team. However, destiny had other plans in store for him at Nishiura High School, as Mihashi finds himself reluctantly drawn into their fledgling baseball team, designated as their starting pitcher. Initially resistant, Mihashi soon discovers an unexpected refuge where he's embraced for who he truly is. Motivated by the unwavering support of his trusted catcher, Takaya Abe, Mihashi embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery, gradually reclaiming his confidence and faith in his own abilities. Witnessing Mihashi's untapped potential, Abe takes it upon himself to mold his teammate into a pitcher of extraordinary caliber—a true ace in every sense. Together, they defy the odds and strive to reshape their future on the baseball diamond, relentlessly pursuing greatness.
