Synopsis

"I want to join the basketball team, but Jump already has Slam Dunk, and I don’t want to join the sexy commando team." With this reason, Tetsujin Shiota and Shigeo Nara have no choice but to join South Makuhari High School's baseball team. The unmotivated and ill-natured manager Miho Sakurai, as well as the gullible Koji Kanoya who was added on just to fill up a slot, make up the rest of the team in this coming-of-age story about a baseball team that doesn't play baseball at all. The manga is a parody and critique of editors, comedians, and other works within Weekly Shonen Jump. Examples include Sakigake!! Otokojuku, Midori no Makibaō, Rurouni Kenshin, Slam Dunk, Dragon Ball, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Source: JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia
