Princess Nine

Hidehiko Hayakawa was a pitching legend, and his daughter Ryo has inherited his gift. She plays on the local sandlot and can strike out any challenger with ease. But one day, two goons show up and challenge her to a duel. Who sent these men and why?

Amazing things keep happening, one after the other. First a mysterious boy enters the batter's cage, taking up the challenge against Ryo. And the next day, Ryo is offered a scholarship for a prestigious girls' school! But she can't possibly accept it...

Izumi is a world-class tennis player whose power, poise and grace make her one of the stars of Kisaragi Girls' High School. Ryo gets to see her in action for a bit, but there are more important things on her mind at the moment, like her school interview!

Seira is a fiery redhead who used to be a master athlete. There was even talk of her going to the Olympics... but now she's only interested in pool halls and street fights. Coach Kido has been given a dangerous mission: recruit her for Kisaragi.

In a quiet little village on the sea, there's a girl named Koharu who once mastered the Wave Motion Swing. Though Ryo tries to convince her to join Kisaragi's team, Koharu is adamant that she'll never play again. What could be holding her back?

Two new girls might join the Kisaragi team! The first is Mao, a girl whose huge figure should make her the perfect catcher, but she's too timid to catch the ball. The other is Yoko, who has a pretty face, but a resume that smells too fishy to be true.
