* Based of a light novel series by author Kagurazaka Atsushi and illustrator Koike Sadaji.
In 1925 (year 14 of the Taisho period), after being told by a baseball player that women should become housewives instead of going to school, two 14-year-old Japanese high school girls named Koume and Akiko decide to start a baseball team in order to prove him wrong. During this time, when even running was considered too vulgar for women, baseball is known as what the boys do and they face many difficulties when searching members, getting permission from their parents and when learning about the sport itself.

Unusual mix of an authentic historical setting, slice-of-life, sports and comedy. The inherent feminism feels genuine and never forced, the characters are very likable and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Some of the conflicts are too easily resolved, though.

A good anime using high school, baseball, and old-time Japan as backgrounds. There is no super human ability from any characters, only efforts and persistence.

14, female, , baseballBaseball is like a complicated version of Rounders. It involves hitting a ball with a stick, then running around several bases placed in the form of a diamond on a field. Big in the US, and also in Japan., brown hairThe character has brown hair., catcherCatcher is a position for a baseball or softball player. When a batter takes his turn to hit, the catcher crouches behind home plate, in front of the (home) umpire, and receives the ball from the pitcher., energeticAn energetic character, often also called a genki character, shows great, often excessive levels of activity or vitality, and seems to always be doing everything extra fast. Genki characters are often slightly, or sometimes very, eccentric, and are filled with confidence and determination, regardless of whether they are competent or not; in fact, they often have little to no actual competence at whatever they generally do., eternal blushIt is no ordinary blush it is a blush that does not disappear., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair. This hair length is what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.

Big in the US, and also in Japan., braidsBraids is a style of hair in which the hair is interweaved into locks. Braids can be displayed in various styles, such as twin braid tails or a braided hair hairband., glassesGlasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., twin braid tailsHair braids can be tied as a pair of twin braid tails.

Big in the US, and also in Japan., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., hair ribbonHair ribbons are ribbons used both as hair decorations and as hair ties. Hair ribbons are often tied into bows. They may also be present as part of a hairband. In older anthropomorphic series, where the gender of characters was sometimes hard to tell at first glance, ribbon bows were used to indicate a female character., ojouThe ojou ("princess", called "ojou-sama" in the anime) may be many things (perhaps even a real princess), but she is undoubtedly rich, either in her own right or by being part of an absurdly powerful family. The ojou is noticeable by her shrill and obnoxious laugh often (if not always) while putting the backside of her hand in front of her mouth., pitcherA player in baseball who throws the baseball from the pitcher`s mound., scarf tieA scarf tie is an item that would ordinarily be a scarf, but which is being used to tie a collar, typically a low-cut collar, well below the neck line, or attached in a similar way. Scarf ties are a common part of the sailor uniform frequently seen worn by Japanese schoolgirls. A scarf tie is not to be confused with a regular scarf; they should be treated separately. It is also not a ribbon tie; in fact, despite the name, a scarf tie is not a type of tie at all., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., very long hairVery long hair is hair from (and including) waist-length hair or longer.

The Class President is disturbed by how the lead or their friends don`t participate in club activities or how their grades are slipping and never gets the hint that nobody cares about that stuff.
Frequently admonishes the cast for small mistakes, helps makes up for the Two Teacher School, and may be in cahoots with the Absurdly Powerful Student Council. Almost always called "iinchou" in place of their real name., hairbandA hairband is a flexible plastic or metal band or strip of cloth worn over the top of the head to hold the hair back and maintain a certain hairstyle. A hairband that includes ribbons or has bows along its length should be also tagged hair ribbon. For a similar band worn across the forehead primarily for athletic purposes, see sweatband., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger.
