1

Yuki Miyata is hospitalized, prompting her best friend Minami Kawashima to replace her as manager of Hodokubo High School's baseball team, despite her dislike for the sport. Minami purchases Peter Drucker’s book Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices, initially believing it applies to sports but later realizing it focuses on business. Intrigued by the content, she decides to first define the team's purpose. She consults Masayoshi Nakai, who aspires to become the team's CEO. Meanwhile, Yuki recalls being inspired to join the club after Minami hit a winning bat in elementary school. With the club's goal established, Minami prepares to proceed to the next phase: Marketing.
