風の三郎

Musashi Saburō, a seemingly frail middle school boy, possesses the ability to throw a blazing fastball known as the “flame pitch.” During the 1979 off-season, he crosses paths with Hiroshima Carp player Yoshihiko Takahashi, who witnesses Saburō’s extraordinary talent in a local baseball game. Determined to form the ultimate baseball team, Saburō embarks on a journey across Japan to find equally exceptional players. Accompanied by his friend Ushio, he encounters various challenges, including a confrontation with yakuza while searching for a potential teammate. Their quest introduces them to unique characters, like Tarōmaru, as they strive to build a legendary team through intense training and fierce competitions. (Unreviewed summary by Grok 3)
