Big Windup! is a baseball manga series by Asa Higuchi, serialized in the monthly seinen Afternoon magazine since 2003. It has been adapted into a TV anime series, animated by A-1 Pictures, which premiered in Japan on TBS. The manga series won the prestigious Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for best creative work in 2006. The series, set in Saitama, follows the story of Ren Mihashi. Mihashi was the previous ace pitcher in his middle school's baseball team, but it seems that he only got the position because his grandfather was the owner of the school. Mihashi is thoroughly convinced that he is a lousy baseball pitcher and he graduates to high school with extremely low self-esteem. He then transfers to Nishiura high school with plans of quitting baseball. Assisted by his new teammates (and especially the catcher, Takaya Abe), he grows in stature, confidence and skill, helping his team excel with his own abilities. Main characters are: Ren Mihashi, Takaya Abe, Yuichiro Tajima, Azusa Hanai, Fumiki Mizutan, Shuugo Kanou, Atsushi Hatake. In this category you can find high quality Big Windup! wallpapers.
