Summary:
The Lycaons is the weakest team in the "Paradice" league. Hiromichi Kojima, the Lycaons' star batter, heads to a training camp in Okinawa to bring himself out of a slump and try for his last attempt at a championship. While looking for a practice pitcher for Kojima, a few players get themselves into trouble by participating in the "One Outs" game, where a pitcher duels with a batter with money on the line.
Soon, Tokuchi meets Saikawa, the greedy owner of the Lycaons who only cares about the team making a profit. When Saikawa easily gets the upper hand in the salary negotiation, Tokuchi offers an unusual proposal. He proposes the 'One Outs contract', an illegal performance-based pay where he gets 5,000,000 yen for every out he pitches, but loses ¥50,000,000 for every run he gives up.
Own opinion:
First of all I want to say this: Tokuchi-kun~! Kyaaa~~!!
...Ahem! Sorry, so One Outs is a very cool anime which focus more on logic of the game. F
Rank: 4.2 over 5 stars
