During Japan’s Taisho Era, high school student Koume is suddenly asked by her best friend Akiko to help her start a women’s baseball team. This comes as a surprise to Koume, since in this conservative period in history, women’s education is considered secondary to their traditional role in the home, as Akiko is told by her fiancé on the school’s baseball team. Akiko decides to make him eat his words by starting a team of her own. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know the rules, what equipment is necessary, or really anything about baseball at all! Will they really be able to gather seven other women to play and hold their own? In an era where women are expected to be reserved, these women are taking it to the field to change people’s attitudes and have some fun along the way!
