Originally published by Shueisha’s Business Jump from 1998 to 2006, the story revolves around the professional baseball circuit in Japan that will depict tension-packed scenes that will offer viewers unprecedented psychological scenes of the game, thus making this series different from other conventional baseball series.

When Hiromichi Kojima heads to Okinawa for a voluntary rehab assignment, he meets Toa Takuchi who gambles in the game of baseball called “one out,” a game were  a pitcher and a batter make a bet at a single at bat. Toa, a legend and undefeated pitcher in the game, lost to Kojima in a single at bat. Kojima, who has not been to a pennant in his career, urges Toa to join his team. From there, the dormant Lycaons team who has never moved out of the B class baseball steadily transformed itself to a perennially team.

Madhouse will animate the series, with a production staff that includes Yuzo Sato (Ultmiage Survivor Kaiji and Mahjong Legend Akagi), and Hideo Takayshiki for its musical composition.
