This volume kicks off with the second half of the big game, which the girls must win for the right to play boys baseball! Things get really rough, and then Ryo figures out how to throw the "lightning ball" (which seems to gain it's power from sheer determination), so it's victory for the team! Everything goes downhill from here, though - the "scandal" behind Ryo's dad is revealed, and Ryo is crushed, plus all the negative media seems certain to dissolve the team. Izumi is a total bitch through it all, as Ryo runs off to her home town to discover what her dad was really like, and almost dies saving some orphans in a storm! Suddenly, Izumi realizes that she "needs" Ryo as her rival - just like Hook needs Peter Pan. It's nice how this series is interesting without resorting to giant robots or anything like that. Not my favorite volume of the series so far, but still really enjoyable - I'm ready for some more baseball action, though!Labels: anime, dvds
