In the huge boarding high school spread among forests and fields, there is a real commotion – everyone"s beloved Kyo Suke Natsume has returned! The enigmatic graduate disappears from time to time, but each of his returns sparks incredible events and keeps boredom at bay. Four people were especially eager for the commander"s return: Riki, Masato, Kengo, and Rin, Kyo Suke"s younger sister. Since childhood their tight‑knit group "Little Pranksters" stuck together, teasing neighbors, defending justice, and most importantly – having fun wholeheartedly! Now, on the brink of graduation and an impending farewell, the leader decided to rattle his friends by announcing that soon they will play baseball! Under the whispers of the whole school, a team must be formed and additional players recruited – as Kyo Suke wisely noted, preferably girls. And we, in the process of recruiting, assigning positions, playing and training, will meet the heroes and heroines, understand and love the world of "Pranksters," and perhaps even get closer to its main mystery. Everything is not as simple as it seems, and each character, their personality, actions, obvious and hidden joys and sorrows weave a huge narrative tapestry through which the main theme of the series threads itself. Development, growing up and transitioning into a new life resemble disappearing from one world and being born in another. Without effort, tears and sacrifice this does not happen, but the main thing – friendship, courage, and honor retain their value in both worlds!
