| I don’t quite understand how this manga relates to sports, if it’s essentially about a girl who sells beer at the stadium? Is the synopsis not telling me something? |

| @RobertBobert If it's anything like this show https://myanimelist.net/anime/37890/Oshi_ga_Budoukan_Ittekuretara_Shinu?q=budoukan&cat=anime, baseball is probably going to be explained and a secondary but existing focus of the show. Since there's nothing about romance in the tags, if MAL is correct with it, I'm going to guess that he shows up often, she comes up to him, and they speak about life and the game, talk about the plays and the players, that type of stuff. All hypothetical, and not sure how that would work, but that's what I imagine. |

| @Bidoof_PMD-EOS So you think this will be a show about baseball fan culture, maybe with some romance? |

| @RobertBobert Not just about it, but yes, a strong emphasis on it. Not necessarily romance, maybe friendship, but it would be abnormal for it not to develop into romance these days. |

| @Bidoof_PMD-EOS Well, we'll wait and see then. Thanks for the dialogue! |

| Read some chapters and put it on-hold for a while. Guess it’s time to catch up before the anime releases. |
| Okay, the synopsis has got me, lol. |
