Animerica Extra #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Chapter 1: To Blossom" introduces Taro Uranaishi, the owner of Japan’s most legendary baseball team, whose ability to see the future drives him to alter fate by preventing young Atsuki Moritaka from ever learning the game—before the boy even knows he’ll one day challenge him. Written by Mitsuru Adachi and Yuji Oniki, with art by Adachi and Mary Kelleher, this story unfolds with quiet determination and a touch of whimsy, capturing the quiet weight of choices made before they’re understood. The cover by Masakazu Katsura and Chiho Saito beautifully frames the moment’s delicate tension.
In "Aim at the Ace! Part 1," Taro Uranaishi, the famously prescient owner of Japan’s most celebrated baseball team, spots a future where a young prodigy named Atsuki Moritaka will one day defeat him—eight years down the line. To stop that fate, Taro launches a delightfully absurd plan to keep Atsuki from ever learning baseball as a kid.
