About the Manga
Oblivion Battery is an acclaimed baseball sports manga created by Eco Mikawa. The narrative centers on Haruka Kiyomine, a pitch-throwing monster, and Kei Kaname, a brilliant general-like catcher, who dominated middle school baseball.
However, their promising trajectory takes a shocking hit when Kei suffers amnesia, losing both his baseball knowledge and his fierce competitive edge. Transformed into an eccentric rookie with no memory of his former greatness, Kei enrolls in a non-baseball prefectural high school.
Haruka follows Kei to the same obscure high school, determined to play together again despite Kei's memory loss. There, they reunite with former rivals who had previously given up baseball after being crushed by the pair in junior high.
Combining belly-laugh comedy with high-stakes sports drama, Oblivion Battery explores resilience, second chances, and the joy of playing sports. It delivers a deeply moving yet hilarious take on high school baseball culture.
