You know how there’s that big tennis game between Light and L in Death Note? Obviously, the logical conclusion of this is for Death Note to become a sports anime - there’s even a bit where the captain of the university tennis team says he’s got to have them on his team. This would, of course, completely change the plot of Death Note (or Deadly Raquet):

  • At first, Light joins the team in an attempt to throw L - who up to this point has been the one in control - off his game, and L joins to keep an eye on Light.
  • Teamwork is an important part of any sports anime, and for tennis, that means doubles!
  • The new recruits start out by playing a doubles match against the seniors to see how they do. L and Light aren’t very good at working together so they lose, which makes Light secretly very unhappy and L sulks.
  • They spend a lot of time practicing with the team and learn to work with others. Light starts out as the congenial nice guy he always pretends to be, while L is the weirdo.
  • Also someone on the team is really into mysteries and detective series.
  • At first, Light decides not to really try to save his pride, since it’s not really important, but then he loses even more in practice games and gets even more annoyed, so he can’t help but get invested.
  • Gradually L makes friends and people start to see through Light’s facade (because he can’t quite emulate the intense friendship of sports animes).
  • When the team inevitably eventually loses, Light gets revenge by using the Death Note on anyone in the opposing team who could have possibly been involved in anything shady (because he’s actually pretty reckless), and he ends up getting found out.
  • Light learns to lose and L learns the value of friendship.

Why Eijun Sawamura getting his Ace tag is the most cathartic moment in sports anime history: Essay

Background

The Diamond No Ace manga has been serialising since 2006 and it has taken the sports anime industry by storm. The longevity of this manga comes from a time where manga from this genre would go on for a very long time, with examples such as Ahiru No Sora and Dear Boys. Modern sports manga would dictate such that it's a lot shorter than its older counterparts, with Haikyuu ending at 403 chapters and Kuroko ending at 275 chapters. Diamond No Ace however, uses long term story telling akin to series such as One Piece to pay off some of its narrative high points.

A typical high school sports anime has a template as such: Team plays the inter high => loses to a strong team => tries again with the next nation-wide tournament => qualifies for the national tournament. It's a tried and true formula which has been proven to work many times. What does it mean for Diamond No Ace? It's not typical whatsoever.

Many sports anime would feature an underdog team but Diamond No Ace does the opposite: It features a powerhouse team in the strongest baseball region in Japan. Seido High School has been well renowned as one of the strongest schools in the Tokyo region, with many Koshien (national tournament) appearances before the main plotline takes place. Players that join the school for baseball have an exceptional skill and talent for it, and usually have been playing the sport for many years. In this case, what's so interesting about a team that's already developed? The main character: Eijun Sawamura!

Eijun Sawamura was basically from the boonies, the countryside and played baseball for fun with his childhood friends as a pitcher. He was seen with promise and potential by a Seido scout and made a difficult decision to move to Tokyo and pursue his dreams of becoming a pro baseball player. However, he found himself inferior to many of the players. Mainly, Furuya.

The importance of an ace tag

Furuya Satoru was another 1st Year player scouted to play for Seido as a pitcher. His relationship with Sawamura is akin to other sports anime duos such as Kageyama and Hinata and Rukawa and Sakuragi. From the very beginning, Satoru was labelled as the better pitcher. What did this mean?

He was in the way of Sawamura becoming the Ace of Seido High School. After being told that he was filled with promise and potential, as well as moving away from his family, friends and his entire life, Sawamura instead found himself playing second, nay third fiddle to the ace of the school. It was at this moment he knew the hard work that he had to put in to put the school on his back as the future ace.

The ace tag, the number 1 on the back of the players, is only given to pitchers who have shown great talent and aptitude in breaking down the defense of their opposing team's batting order. Throughout the series, it was emphasised that the reason why Seido wasn't a top tier team was because they lacked the indomitable ace that was present in other powerhouse teams like Inashiro. The appearance of Furuya and Sawamura would inevitably begin the battle of who would become Seido's ace and lead the team to become the National Champions.

Losses and heartbreak

The first challenge for Seido was the Summer Koshien tournament. Seido usually makes it very far into the bracket as they are a powerhouse team. However, since Tokyo is one of the biggest and most competitive regions in Japan, it's split into East and West Tokyo. This meant that only one team from each split would make it to the Summer Koshien with the other teams in the nation. Seido undoubtedly blasts through the entire bracket until the finals where they face off against long time rivals: Inashiro High School.

The long time winners of the West Tokyo wing of the Koshien qualifiers, they were the undisputed champions of the region. With an unstoppable batting roster, they were already one of the best teams in Japan. What puts the cherry on top? Their ace, Narumiya Mei.

He was everything Seido was looking for to become the best team in Japan. The pitcher that could put his team on his back and lead them to victory. It was a battle of ideals akin to Shiratorizawa Vs Karasuno from Haikyuu. The heartbreaking thing was: Seido lost. Without a pitcher that could match Narumiya Mei, they just couldn't close out the game with their lead. We said goodbye to the Seido third years and this of course led to Sawamura feeling distraught and putting the blame on himself.

Yips

For the following months, Sawamura found himself in a state of despair. He wasn't able to pitch and improve like he was prior due to his mental failing. When someone like Sawamura puts the weight of the loss entirely on their own shoulder, it's bound to have consequences. However with the help of his teammates and coaches, Sawamura bounces back and slowly makes a recovery on the way to the Fall Koshien

A second try

After finding himself back on his feet, Seido had to go through a rebuilding phase to prepare for the next Summer Koshien: The Fall Koshien. Unlike other sports anime with a second chance, the Fall Koshien fulfills a criteria:

  1. The third years aren't able to play, so no such thing as a Winter Cup or any cop out of such form
  2. It ultimately doesn't have the same prestige as the Summer Koshien tournament.

This means that the loss against Inashiro still had weight and consequences and showed that Seido still had to move on with whatever they had left. Sawamura took this opportunity and ran with it as much as he could. In matches such as the Yakushi and Hakuryuu ones, Sawamura proved to be a skilled and amazing pitcher in his own right.

His biggest plus compared to Furuya was that he has variety in his pitches while Furuya mainly had speed. Sawamura diligently put in the effort but still played second fiddle to Furuya, who had become the new ace after the third years retired. This however did not affect Sawamura's journey and ambition as he and the rest of Seido moved forward through the Fall Koshien. Doing pretty well for themselves, they beat Yakushi in the finals of the qualifiers and made it to the quarter finals of the Fall Koshien before losing to the favourites, Komaidai Fujimaki.

The Ace Tag

After concluding their Fall Koshien journey, Seido found themselves in a new year with new first year students. This meant that there was a need to form a brand new roster with the new members and such. After the Fall Koshien, Furuya found himself in a rut. He was unable to pitch at such a high level consistently due to his godlike performance in the match against Komaidai Fujimaki. Furuya was still great don't get me wrong, but a certain someone was waiting in the shadows and showing off his new weapons and skill.

After a year in the plot and FIFTEEN YEARS IN REAL TIME, it was the moment everyone had been waiting for. The new year began with Sawamura pitching for Seido in practice matches. He had formed an amazing chemistry with the catcher, Miyuki. Sawamura developed new pitches that had a high level of consistency and variety. As a result, most teams that played against Sawamura had no idea what to do as they tried to predict his next move. Sawamura had become the rock of Seido.

His skill, improvements and consistency had proven to be an invaluable asset to the team and as a result, he was ultimately chosen to become the Ace of Seido, representing the entire team to once again take on the Summer Koshien.

Conclusion

Whatever I have touched on was just the tip of the iceberg of the brilliant storytelling that is Diamond No Ace. The other narrative threads such as the third years retiring, Miyuki's story arc and Chris' back story has a comparable amount of emotional weight but this particular thread had one thing that shines from the rest: Long term storytelling. It was a story that was 15 years in the making, every page, every drawing and every word in the manga led to this moment where Sawamura achieves his first big milestone as a baseball player. The story is far from over as Seido has yet to win the Summer Koshien and I am excited to see what's next in possibly Act III of Diamond no Ace.

With all this being said, Sawamura getting his ace tag is the most cathartic moment in Sports manga history. (My opinion LOL)

we are all liars

in which eijun and kazuya are both in denial and pining like clueless idiots

“You’re one nasty bastard,” Eijun says.

Kazuya takes the insult completely in stride; it isn’t something new coming from Eijun’s mouth after all. He loops an arm around Eijun’s neck and tugs him closer, pulling Eijun flush against the hard lines of his body. A corner of Kazuya’s mouth twitches when Eijun reflexively struggles against his hold – though it’s obvious he’s not really putting that much gusto to wrestle away from Kazuya. “Who’s the one asking for extra practice today, hm? Learn to be nicer if you want something, brat.”

“I bought you the stupid salmon onigiri you like this afternoon.” Eijun scowls up at him, his fringe parting in the middle of his forehead and revealing annoyed, brown eyes that were previously partially shielded by his hair. “That’s nice enough.”

“What about my coffee and slice of cheesecake?” Kazuya asks, a lofty lilt in his tone. He continues resting his arm on Eijun’s shoulder, who’s by now given up any semblance of resistance as they make their way to the clubroom. 

Eijun scrunches his face up in distaste. “I’m not part of your fanclub, Miyuki.”

Sex Hair [SFW, KouSawa]

Koshu loves feeling Eijun’s fingers in his hair. They twirl around his blond locks, massage bits of his head, and smooth some tangles despite causing his hair to be tossed any which way. Feeling someone touch him like that, intimately casual, made Koshu’s skin crawl.

Koshu loved it.

Despite being stand-offish, Koshu pushed himself into those wandering fingers, barely focusing on any one thing. Eijun suggesting watching the first episodes of anime that came out based on his favorite manga. Koshu could say nothing about it, since his mind focused solely on just being near Eijun. That in itself really made their little “date nights” worthwhile. All Koshu could claim was that, without focusing on plot, the anime LOOKED really pretty and sparkly, and that just reminded him of his pretty and sparkly boyfriend.

“Hey?” Eijun piped up after the ending credits rolled for the second episodes. “You awake?” Eijun had the nerve to sound upset that Koshu would fall asleep in the middle of date night, during his /favorite/ manga’s anime, no less!

Koshu shrugged the shoulder not currently resting in Eijun, and almost cracked a smile. “I’m awake, but barely. You kept playing with me, Bakamura, and you know by now how lucid that gets me.”

“Pfft! You can’t call me bakamura, Wolf-boy! That could be you, too!” Eijun teased, smiling bright as he ruffled Koshu’s hair more, much more vigorously and sloppy than he had before. “You know my hands need to play with you, so I wasn’t even thinking about it just now. Should I have stopped?”

Koshu just looked away. “Obviously not … You know I like it, but stop ruffling it already!” Koshu tried to pat some strays down with some success, despite knowing Eijun would wreck it again.

“Mm, but it kinda looks like sex hair, and we really didn’t do anything. People’ll spread rumors about a wild wild getting domesticated at this rate.”

Koshu bet Eijun thought it sounded sexy, with how he lowered his usual speaking voice, slowing the words to sound cool beside Koshu’s ear. It very well could have sounded sexy had Eijun not been an idiot and grinning too wide the entire time, with an overall bubbly instead of sultry aura.

Since Eijun couldn’t cast his sex spell over Koshu, Koshu used the chance to pull a pillow from beneath him and smack his face with it. “Bed head or not, everyone knows better than to think I would be domesticated, you half-sized corgi.”

daiya no ace | misawa | t | 11.2k

additional tags: fluff, getting to know each other/getting together, pro baseball player miyuki, journalist sawamura

Miyuki never looked for love. He never once searched for the flutter in the pit of his stomach, nor had he ever sought out the rush of warmth in his face or the nervous trembling of his hands. Flirtations were quick to leave his mouth, but he never truly meant them; he promised a good time, but he never promised more.
Isn’t it something, that when faced with a guy who had sunflowers on his lanyard and a smudge of ink on his cheek, Miyuki found himself wondering what it would be like, to have his undivided attention outside of an interview? Isn’t it something, that Miyuki still remembers his smile, and how cute he was, when he couldn’t even say the same for any of the flings he’d had prior?

  • Akeshu
  • L’appel du vide by Xov 
  • Akechi Goro is alive – one of his biggest regrets is alive and standing in front of him looking like he’s ready for some highbrow sports photo shoot when what he really needs is five years intensive therapy and at least five more steps away from Akira. No, no, no – the universe is not allowed to shove this on him so soon after it just flung him three fucking years into the past.
  • and i felt the fever coming. [oh the wreckage follows] by shenyanigan
  • Kurusu Akira has survived a lot over the past eighteen years of existence. A false assault charge. A police-sanctioned scopolamine overdose. Bringing a butter knife and twelve penis demons to a fight with god. Learning that yellow was definitely not a color that suited him, no matter what Ann and Yusuke tried to tell him (and no matter how much that gutted him, because damn, those dungarees were cute). He is, in Futaba’s words, “if the ‘I lived, bitch’ meme were a person.” So it comes as a bit of a shock that the last straw is a cold, of all things.
  • And even more on my separate list of fav Akeshu/Shuake fics!!!

  • "You know, I’m almost convinced that it was Miyuki Kazuya’s bright idea to put a goddamn sex shop right inside of a perfectly normal cafe!” Sawamura threw up his hands. “If it weren’t for that place, I wouldn’t be as worked up as I am right now!” Haruichi tapped his chin as he nodded along to his roommate’s rant. “That does seem like something he’d do… but I don’t think that’s the only reason you’re so worked up over this, Eijun.” A college, coffee shop & sex shop AU all in one!

  • With the Organization on the move for unknown reasons, Shinichi’s back to singing his old tune and devoting his entire being—despite coming down with an oddly persistent illness—to taking them down once and for all. Oh, and KID gets involved, too.
  • Scion by Cleflink
  • In a world where everyone has an Inheritance, Shinichi hates having to hide the fact that he’s a Fire Scion almost as much as he hates being a Fire Scion in the first place. When a KID heist gets complicated by the appearance of an underground smuggling ring, Shinichi’s going to have to use every advantage he’s got - including his own unwanted Inheritance and a certain irritating Moon Scion phantom thief - to get out of things alive.

  • draw me after you (let us run) by ToAStranger
  • “Harry Potter,” comes the soft, sibilant hiss of a voice he has heard in his dreams, in his nightmares, in his waking hours for years.  Slowly, carefully, Harry twists over and pushes up onto his hands and knees.  He stays there, short breath fogging in front of his face, and his pursuer lets him.  Harry has no doubt of that; he’s being allowed this respite. This small moment to catch his bearings, heart pounding in his ears, blood singing. “It seems I have finally caught you.”
