”Take Minami to the Koshien Stadium…” The dream that twins can make reality.
Twin brothers, Tatsuya and Kazuya Uesugi, and Minami, who lives next door, grew up together since they were born. Everyone thinks that Kazuya, who is good at all sports, achieves high academic result at school and popular among girls, and Minami, a good looking girl, are the perfect couple. Tatsuya, on the other hand, is said to be no better than his brother Kazuya in any aspects. Minami’s dream is to go to the Koshien Stadium where the National High School Baseball tournament is held. Kazuya is going to make her dream reality as the ace pitcher of a baseball team at his school. Tatsuya is also in love with Minami like his brother and Minami is secretly in love with Tatsuya.
In the morning of the regional final game of the National High School Baseball tournament, Kazuya was hit by a car trying to save a child and killed. Tatsuya decides to take over his brother’s will, which is to take Minami to Koshien Stadium.
This is a very famous anime with a bitter romance story as a baseball themed comic. It was made into an anime and movies and became a huge hit, which was later turned into a live-action version as well.
