"What's this?" Osamu Manabe looks at a series of picture thrown at the desk by his boss.
"This? This… Listen carefully boy… This… is your future."
"Ummm… Sir? How c…"
"Ssshhh. Say no more! I want a full article of this guy! Give me his hobbies, favorite places, things he does on his off days, hidden skills, secret lives, girlfriends, and scandals! EVERYTHING! Give me everything about this man and I'll raise your salary!"
"Are you serious sir?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Ummm… No…" Manabe answers hesitantly.
"You have my word, boy! Full coverage! 10 pages long! No less than that! Come see me in a month! Now, GO!"
Manabe walks out the door of his boss's office and aims for his own desk. His gaze can't be removed from the stack of photos, schedules, and files now on his hand, all related to one man. From all of the famous athletes out there, why, WHY, why on earth he has to write an article on this particular one? He sighs unconsciously.
Yamamoto Takeshi. Young, handsome, hot body, deadly smile, he's just the typical baseball player everyone could imagine. But Yamamoto Takeshi is surely not an ordinary one. Even though his skill is quite amazing, rumor has it that several world-known officials have offered him a position in their respective clubs with a ridiculous amount of salary, Yamamoto chose to play in a local small club in Namimori. Something an ordinary baseball player would never do. He only appears in national team when he's called. Otherwise, he just spends his day training on his local club field. Besides that his father runs a sushi restaurant in Namimori, nothing much is known for his private life. That's why; Yamamoto Takeshi has been the target of every sport/gossip reporters out there. Still, none of them can get valuable articles regarding him despite his sport career. Manabe has heard that some of his seniors have tried to stalk Yamamoto before, never has anyone succeeded. When they were asked why they failed, everybody refuse to answer. Basically, Yamamoto Takeshi's private life is untouchable.
So how, how can he, a fresh graduated newbie reporter, be able to uncover the daily life of a 24 years old baseball player who despite his seemingly approachable personality is almost a mystery? But, it's a rare opportunity though. His boss is a stingy person. A raise in salary may not come twice, so he better take this chance if he wants to improve his life. With that, Manabe prepares to fight.
