Makoto's fondest childhood memories are of playing baseball with Shusuke, his best friend and former teammate who served as the catcher on their team. When Shusuke suddenly moved away, Makoto was heartbroken, but he held onto their promise to one day reunite and play for the championship at Koshien Stadium. Now in high school, Makoto is the ace pitcher for the baseball team, and he and the team's catcher, Hokuto, form an unstoppable duo. However, when Shusuke unexpectedly transfers back to Makoto's school, the boys find it increasingly difficult to focus on the game under the blazing heat of the baseball diamond.
