Volume 1:
The phantom out-of-print work by Taiyo Matsumoto! Araragi with the fastball, Amakusa with the breaking ball. A baseball team is tossed around by two geniuses.

Volume 2:
Araragi is demoted to the second team for pitching on his own, while Amakusa builds his own stage on the mound. Then comes a messenger from the major leagues, and Araragi returns to the mound, ignoring Amakusa, who can only throw intentional walks to the monster Bob Roy...
