Yomi Takeda, a pitcher in her Junior High years, did not do well in a cross-school baseball event. She couldn't perform her hallmark maneuver, the "Magic Throw," since the catcher on her team wasn't at her level, and she eventually regretted not being able to use it. She opted to stop playing baseball after Junior High and transferred to Shin Koshigaya High School, which did not have a baseball team. Tamaki Yamazaki, a long-lost old buddy with whom she used to play catchball as a youngster, was there. Tamaki had also played baseball as a catcher throughout her Junior High years, and she could even catch Yomi's "Magic Throw!" Their childhood promise could finally be realized!
