Abo Ozawa is a skilled pitcher struggling with indecision both in baseball and in life. Two close friends, Hana Eguchi and Noriko Asai, pull him in different directions. Hana is a well-known pitcher who often deals with media attention and has a strong, unpredictable personality. Noriko is more composed and tends to remain in the background. Abo is also physically split—he can pitch with pinpoint accuracy using his left arm, while his right arm throws fast, erratic pitches. This duality affects his choices both on and off the field, as he wrestles with the question of which path to take.
