Minami Kawashima (Atsuko Maeda), a female high school student, unexpectedly becomes the manager of Tokyo’s Hodokubo High School baseball team. Soon enough, Minami realizes the team consists of talented players, but chronic underachievers. Minami then stumbles upon Peter Drucker’s “Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices” – a classic book on management techniques. She then starts to implement ideas from the book to manage her baseball team into the Koshien National Championships. Written by AsianMedia
