Now that I’ve introduced you to the fascinating characters in “TAMAYOMI”, I’d like to introduce you to the charm of the story they weave!
There are two main attractions of “TAMAYOMI”.
■Healing x Sports! A new, different style!
First of all, the characters in this story are all cute high school girls with a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The members of the club are so gentle and fluffy that they might have been able to connect with each other even without baseball.
However, in the end, they are all in the baseball club because they “want to play baseball! But in the end, they are all members who came to the baseball club with the desire to play baseball.
Although their reasons and backgrounds are different, their passion for baseball is the same.
They practice hard while inspiring each other to achieve the goal of participating in the national tournament, and the scenes where they clash with each other with all their might, even in practice games, are serious games! It’s truly “sporen”!
The atmosphere of the cute, loose, and fluffy characters and the passionate baseball team make for a unique baseball manga.
Don’t underestimate its cuteness, and you’ll definitely be moved by its inner passion!
■The personalities of the players and the development of the game make it a baseball manga worth watching!
The appeal of this manga is not only that it is a “spore-based” manga, but also that it is a “real baseball manga” that depicts the actual baseball scene and its training process.
The aforementioned cute characters with rich personalities have their own individuality and characteristics, which blossom in various baseball scenes.
As a team, they learn how to make the best use of each other’s personalities as they practice together, and the story depicts the process of their steady growth.
The scenes of the baseball games are also fascinating and powerfully drawn.
The scenes of baseball games are also very powerful and attractive, with a series of realistic cuts that make you feel as if you are actually watching the game.
In addition, there is a monologue that explains the development of the game at key points, making it a work that can be fully enjoyed as a full-fledged baseball manga!
There are many great games that you can’t take your eyes off of, from official games to practice games to confrontations between teammates.
We’ve selected three of the best games from volumes 1 through 6 based on our own judgment and prejudice! It’s hot!
■Yana University Kawagoe game, 7th inning, “Nozomi vs. Asakura”.
The first game for the new Shin Koshigaya. It was a practice game, but it would be a heated and serious game.
In the last inning, we were behind by one run. Breathuki persevered and barely got on base, and connected with the team’s strongest hitter, Nozomi.
In addition to his nationally ranked fastball, Asakura has also acquired a breaking ball. Will Reki’s hitting work?
Reki is a man who wants to compete with his strongest opponent, and of course, Asakura is full of motivation. The best.
■Shin-Koshigaya team practice “Nozomi vs.
Free batting in a real game format.
Whenever I saw Wing Chun’s changing pitches, I would say, “Throw to me too! “Let’s play! and “Let’s play! She was so excited to have her long-awaited match!
They never play against each other in a game, so what will be the result of “Reki, the strongest hitter” versus “Wing Chun’s magic ball”? I’m too curious. It’s exciting.
■Against Lianyukan, bottom of the 7th inning “Nakada vs. Yomi
The third qualifying round of the Saitama Prefecture Tournament. It’s finally an official game.
If we lose, it’s the end of the tournament. The results of months or even years of hard work will be tested. There is a weight to it, after all…. Even those who are watching the game put a lot of effort into it.
Now it was time for the final round of the tournament. The back-and-forth battle continues, and the outcome of the game will be decided by the game between these two.
Against the number four of the four, the best slugger in the nation, Nakata, the battery of Wing Chun and Tamahime chooses to “play”.
Wing Chun fights well against a powerful school that is overwhelmingly disadvantaged in the preliminary rankings, and grows even more during the game.
Tamahime sees a slight chance to win in Wing Chun’s pitching.
If it doesn’t work out, let’s just go away.
The climax of the battle of Lianyukan! How will it end? I cry.
