Inside Flap: There are always two or three water-filled pet bottles on the roof of a Benz parked in a nearby parking garage. I always thought it was some kind of prank, but then I just noticed. They're neko-yoke bottles. I've heard that cats are supposed to hate pet bottles with water inside. I can imagine a stray cat basking in the sunlight on top of my car. Kuri is 7 years old already. Hey, you got fatter again.
Back Cover: The Futakotamagawa Academy baseball team has been suspended from activity due an incident involving violence. The enthusiastic new teacher Kawato has decided to become the baseball team advisor for these young ruffians. Will Kawato be able to move the hearts of these thugs as he announces he wants his students to have a dream?!
The Story Thus Far: The Futakotamagawa Academy baseball team has been suspended from activity because of a violent incident. Koichi Kawato is a new teacher who has just been hired to work at Futakotamagawa. Knowing that Kawato attacked and injured one of his students in the past, Principal Murayama has chosen him so that he will destroy the baseball team delinquents and then both teacher and students can be removed from the school. Kawato is put in charge of 1-B, the class with the members of the baseball team responsible for its current state. Furthermore, Kawato himself offers to be the team advisor. Aniya, one of the team members, has heard rumors of Kawato's past. The entire team is suspicious of Kawato, who tells his students about the importance of having a dream, but among them, Mikoshiba alone opens his heart to the teacher. Then a rumor about "Kawato the Violent Teacher" begins to spread through the class. When the students inquire, Kawato admits that it is true. But Kawato has reflected on his deeds, and promises that he will quit if it turns out that he has not improved himself at all. At this time, Aniya has gone to Kawato's previous school, and gotten in a fistfight with one of its students.
