    Summary

    Only once. Just that one time a volleyball hit him in the face, yet Sawamura Eijun's life changed 180 degrees.

    For Sawamura Eijun, baseball was his life. He ate, slept, and studied, and all he could think about was baseball. The people around him went so far as to call him a baseball maniac, ever since he was a child.

    Without baseball for him, he feels incomplete. It was as if half of his life was missing.

    However, the moment a volleyball hit his face, a new light of life seemed to shine on the newly opened path in front of him. The temptation was very strong. To the point that the only thoughts in his head that were always about baseball slowly but surely began to be replaced with that.

    He had never been this conflicted in his life.

    But whatever decision he would choose in the future. There was one fact that he could never disregard.

    He, could never hate baseball completely.

    Or,

    Sawamura Eijun became the new star player in Karasuno.

    Summary

    Watching from top of the mound, he knows this is something he would never give up.

    Call him greedy but this is where he belongs.

    Strike after strike…

    Batters will swing, some miss, some fouled;

    Truly, he is every batters worst nightmare.

    Under the scorching heat of the sun, his eyes blazing like a fire. His very presence is like a threat, something that you will never forget. A southpaw with unique pitching form and a wide variety of pitches. Some says, he’s a genius, the other says he’s the embodiment of art of pitching itself;

    And this is just the beginning of his journey…

    Summary

    Excerpt from the April 2011 edition of Monthly Baseball Kingdom, written by Owada Akiko, edited by Mine Fujio.

    … A heavy struggle for the win during the second to fourth innings, with both aces giving up hits but no runs. Soon enough, one side would have to bend. Unfortunately, it seems Seidou was the first… Furuya Satoru gave up five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Bases were loaded. One out. Seidou’s relief pitcher, Sawamura Eijun (#18), stepped up and managed to keep them from scoring, even against Ichidai’s cleanup and fifth batter…

    An apology. A request. A denial.

    … Despite Sawamura-kun’s impressive pitching, Furuya-kun was subbed back in during the bottom of the 6th inning, and managed to keep Ichidai runless for the rest of the game… We at Monthly Baseball Kingdom are hopeful for how Seidou, and Furuya-kun, will look during next year’s…

    Summary



    The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. It is when an event takes place which is, more often than not, significant and has an unstoppable effect. It happens when an important decision has to be made that completely changes everything else.

    "Mei, don't take too long! We're only stopping for a bathroom break."

    "I know, I know." Narumiya Mei waves off his teammates' reminders as he saunters out of the bus to buy a much needed drink. The thing is, he'll come back much later than he promised and he's bringing back more than just a can of juice with him.

    Summary

    When is enough, enough? Where do you draw the line? When it starts to hurt? When the one thing you love more than anything in the world starts on taste bitter? When the game that brought you joy, and happiness starts to make you question on own self worth?

    When was he allowed to snap?

    When will the adding pressure, regret, self-doubt, pain be enough?

    The match against Ichidai was the final straw. Eijun joined Seidou to take his dream as a baseball player to the next level, not to question his self worth every day. Not to question whether he was good enough to pick up the ball in his hand.

    And if he had to choose between the place that was supposed to his home, but had turned into a personal hell, and the game that made him happy, the choice was easy.

     

    [I'm sorry everyone, I would like to update the story as well, but I haven't touched anything DnA in so long, I don't remember anything. ( T^T ). I hate leaving a story incomplete and I don't want to discontinue this story yet, so I'm putting up the story on hiatus for an indefinite amount of time. I'll try to finish it after brushing up on DnA.]
