One Outs

📖 SYNOPSIS

"One Outs" follows the strategic battles within professional baseball, centered around the unconventional pitcher Toua Tokuchi. The story begins with the Lycaons' star batter, Hiromichi Kojima, seeking training in Okinawa. There, he encounters Tokuchi, the undefeated champion of "One Out," a form of baseball played for high stakes. Impressed by Tokuchi's cunning and pitching prowess, Kojima convinces him to join the Lycaons. Tokuchi's contract is unlike any other: he earns a fortune for every out he achieves, but faces crippling debt for every run he concedes. This unique arrangement fuels the series' core theme of calculated risk and psychological warfare, as Tokuchi uses his intellect and skill to outmaneuver opponents both on and off the field, transforming the game into a battle of wits. The series explores the complex dynamics of professional sports, gambling, and the human drive to win.
