The first 200 lines.
The cherry blossoms were falling on that day.
I had checked out a hundred romance novels from the library.
Momoko!
Do you want to get some tea?
Some third years invited us.
They're good guys.
Hello?
- Sorry, I can't hear you. - Where are they?
I'd rather have the dream-like love present in novels than deal with love in real life.
That was how I felt, until the accident awoke me from those dreams that day...
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Let me...
Ouch!
Sorry, but it has to be cold.
Are you alright?
Can you tell me your name?
Momoyama Momoko.
I'm a first year on the baseball team, Oushima Hideki.
I'm horrible at this... I'm so sorry!
Hey! Oushima! How much long do you plan on sitting out?!
Ah, I'm fine.
Really?
Hey Oushima!
Sorry.
I'm really sorry!
What are you doing? Hurry up!
'The baseball turns into a rainbow of colors.
Middle school baseball, the pitcher gets the victory!' Oushima Hideki-kun.
You know him?
Height 174 cm, weight 58 kg.
He's famous.
Pro scouts are aiming for his talent.
Blood type A.
All the girls are aiming for him too.
You can do it! Oushima-kun!
Dear Sir, Too many people walk by without noticing the flowers at the peak of its season.
The cherry blossom season welcomed me, but...
I think that it was Oushima-sama who made me become more cheerful.
out of the blue, I am giving you this letter, but please pardon my rudeness for doing so.
I am classroom 2-C's Momoyama Momoko.
You saw that?
There's no hope for Momoko and Oushima-kun...
He's younger, and you have many rivals.
I think it's impossible.
But in this novel, after the two meet by chance when the girl is hit by the pitcher's ball..
they fall in love from the love letter she writes.
With a good-luck charm, the distance between the two of them shrinks.
At graduation he gives her the second button and...
That type of cliche thing doesn't happen,
we're not in the Showa Era afterall.
If it was me, I would become the Baseball Team's manager.
No... Momoko could never do that.
First off, Momoko
why don't you get rid of those glasses and that hairstyle?
Yeah, without those glasses
you would be really cute.
Yeah. Since you clearly can't become the Baseball Team's manager
and you went through great pains to write the love letter, you should deliver it.
That won't happen.
I don't know...
Since we're talking about Oushima-kun and Momoko getting together, afterall.
No, no, there's absolutely chance.
At that moment
a voice from the heavens brought me words of encouragement.
One,
No matter what kind of difficulties we face, we must not give up
and must fight against them.
I decided to follow the voice from the heavens.
You want to be our manager?
There's no way, the team is full.
You know that already! What are you saying?
Hey you guys, hurry up with that stuff!
Yes, Ma'am.
Ah! I'm sorry!
Oushima-kun!
Shut it with all the 'Oushima'!
Oushima-kun!
Sorry about that. Thank you.
One,
No matter what the circumstances
we must not put off working hard!
One,
For the sake of our school,
we must not forget about the spirit of selflessly cheering on others!
We can do!
I beg you.
Cheering for the baseball team?
Our goal is to win at championships.
We don't cheer for sports teams.
Got it, Momoko?
I don't want to give up just yet!
What... what about?
Even though I worked hard this past week, no one has enrolled.
Is.. is that so.
Not even one person.
For cheer teams... my generation has seen the end of them.
I see.
But at next week's baseball match
I can't come and cheer with you.
But ever since our amazing pitcher Oushima arrived
we now have a chance to play in the Koshien.
Cheer team...
I have something to ask.
Even though I might not be in the position to, but...
"No matter what kind of difficulties we face, we must not give up and must fight against them.."
Is there something you need?
Um...
This...
I have this!
A letter of enrolment...
En-en-enrolment!?
Mo-Mo-Momoyama... Mo-Mo-Momoko
Would it be alright that I'm a girl?
Girl...
A girl...
A girl... girl... girl...
girl... girl.
B-But why? Why?
Because...
I adore the spirit of "Kouha and Oshinin."
Oshinin?
( Read as "Ossu" which is a greeting used between guys. Momoko misread it as Oshinin. )
Momoyama Momoko.
B-B-But somehow I feel great.
You heard my voice and were determined join.
You know that there's a baseball match next week, right?
So should we start cheering right away?
T-That's right.
Ever since Oushima joined, it looks like the baseball team has been aiming to play in Koshien.
I have to make an appointment at a salon.
It's no good afterall!
What's wrong?
We can't cheer with just two people.
A Leader, a Vice-leader, Officer, Standard Flag Bearer, and Drummer.
At the very least, we need five people.
Then let's persuade some people to join.
The Cheer Team
needs you!
The Cheer Team needs you!
The Cheer Team needs you!
The Cheer Team
Please...
Pathetic.
If you want to be popular, then it's weightlifting.
Ah, no...
If you join the Cheer Team, p-pop...
Do you even have a girlfriend?
Ah... no...
Excuse me.
Yeah..
You can see I'm a girl, and I think that the weightlifting club and cheer club are just as cool as each other.
Please excuse me.
"It takes a strong, dignified, and stoic person,"
"to cheer for everyone."
"Girls wouldn't be able to leave such a promising man alone."
Seriously?
That's what is written in this book.
Hey, Taihei!
Weren't you unable to stand because of your injury?
Continuing the Cheer Team has become more difficult!
Please consider it.
Huh, what? Who are you?
Doing this type of thing is unpopular these days.
We can't make it popular, but we have the drive to create one!
Do you enjoy yelling like an idiot?
For me, I find joy in doing it.
Excuse me.
"Rather than playing a magnificent tune,"
"we have the sound of our hearts resonating."
"Our words shake people's lives."
That's what is written in this book.
Like how a piece of music lives on for eternity by those singing it
For generations, we've inherited the spirit of those cheering for us.
I feel that it's like the immortality of art.
Sorry, Akira-kun,
there's no need for someone who is tone-deaf in the choir.
But, I want to sing.
We have a lot of girls because girls are the only ones who can join.
I thought it was something like that... I...
For Koshien let's sing our Cheer Song!
For Koshien let's sing our Cheer Song...
Please look at this. Please look at this.
It's for the Cheer Team, please look at it.
Have you gotten anyone else to join? I doubt it because it sounds so stupid.
But...
I feel that people cheering together
isn't the same as cheering by yourself.
Huh?
"Your encouragement gives your friends bravery."
"Your friends working hard gives you back your strength."
By doing so, you increase the amount of harmony in the world!
Hey!
Momoyama!
Ah, yes! I'm here, I'm here.
We did it!
Look!
What are you doing?
He's classroom 1-C's Endo Joji-kun.
We're pleased to have you as our drummer.
