Synopsis

Kirishima is the most famous baseball player in Japan. However, an unfortunate injury forces him to retire. His family abandons him, and all that’s left is a vacant coaching position at a local baseball team for young boys. This club is on the verge of being disbanded—so far, they have never won a single game. Will Kirishima be able to help the club?

Through the television screen, popular baseball player Kirishima tells the kids, “dreams come true.” His baseball techniques are so fantastic that he is called the “miracle man.” But in reality, Kirishima is an arrogant and selfish flirt who spends money like there’s no tomorrow.

Mizuki is a girl who wants to become a lawyer. Her brother plays on Kirishima’s team, but can’t stand the sight of Kirishima. She hates men who fool around, and especially those who deceive children. Will Mizuki and Kirishima be able to come to a mutual understanding? –Fuji TV
