HOW TO HIDE FROM THE YAKUZA? Pretend to be a boy and join a baseball team!

Every year in Japan, hundreds of boys graduate from high school and leave home to start a new school year as part of a strong baseball team. The goal: to reach Koshien – the national baseball tournament. Circumstances force Sato Nobu to be among these boys and join the Meguro team. Now Sato's life consists of classes, training, bullying from older teammates, and attempts to communicate with her irritable roommate in the dormitory. And, of course, the tricks needed to hide the fact that she is a girl. She knows nothing about baseball, has no desire to reach Koshien, and all she wants is to hide from the yakuza who dream of killing her.


Like a precise hit on the ball, this book plunges the reader into a whirlwind of emotions – from joy, excitement, and adrenaline to tenderness and a hint of sadness. It leaves behind the conviction that even in chaos, one can find their light.
This is a story of friendship, loyalty, love, and how sometimes to win, you need to do the impossible.
