The story follows Amakuni Saruno, a perverted and troublesome kid. He is accompanied by his friend, Kengo Sawamatsu. The both of them work together so that they can fulfill Saruno’s dream, which is to date the manager of the baseball team at their school, Nagi Torri. Saruno joins the baseball club in order to win Nagi’s heart, even though he was a complete beginner at baseball. The story entails his experiences after he joins the club.

We start off with two boys peeping in on the girls’ dressing room in a school. They are trying to record them with a camera. The girls notice them and come out with weapons. His friend runs away whereas for some reason, he stays behind.

He tries to go all in and records them while being attacked. He ends up passing out and his body being drawn on with a marker while his clothes were stripped.

Saruno’s friend finds him passed out, body covered in black marker, and wakes him up. A girl whom Saruno had given a confession letter, comes up to him. She tells him that she already has a boyfriend in the baseball club.

Saruno is really gloomy after getting rejected again. He realizes that it’s always because of the high school athletes, and wants to shave off their hair, in anger.

Saruno has had a really bad experience with sports guys. So far all the girls that he liked were all taken by some type of an athlete. He and his friend decide to join a sports club after coming to the conclusion that girls are always into boys that take part in some sort of sports.

They start off by trying to join the weight lifting club. The only other member of the club forces them to join and asks them to get naked and lift one of the lighter bars to start with.

Saruno gets angry that the guy is underestimating him and goes straight for the 120KG weight and gets ready to pick it up. He succeeds in lifting it up, but looses balance and falls down on himself after exerting too much force, and the weight falls on top of him.

While he’s down, a girl with glasses comes up to him and holds his hand to take him to the nurse’s office. Seeing this, Saruno is filled with strength and he gets up, lifting the bar the entire way up.

Saruno thanks the girl for earlier and follows after her. He finds out that she’s not the manager of the weight lifting club. He helps her carry the weights to a different place while trying to get to know her.

The girl introduces herself as Nagi Torii, the manager of the baseball club. In an attempt to impress the girl, Saruno says that he is a skilled baseball player and claims that he will hit the ball on the school clock which was broken by a legendary baseball player who graduated from this school.

As Torii balls, Saruno attempts to strike the ball towards the school clock, but somehow completely misses the ball. He asks Torii to ball again and this time he swings with full force, hitting it even above the school clock!

He falls over after hitting the shot, due to the injury he got with the barbel. Torii tells him to hang in there while he lays there clenching his back.

How will Saruno continue? Will he join the club for the sake of the girl he likes?
