[Anime]Taisho Baseball Girls (Taisho Yakyu Musume)

In 1925, after being told by a baseball player, that women should become housewives instead of going to school, two 14-year-old Japanese high school girls named Koume and Akiko decide to start a baseball team in order to prove him wrong. During this time, when even running was considered too vulgar for women, baseball is known as "what the boys do" and they face many difficulties when having to find enough members, to get permission from their parents and also when learning about the sport itself.
The first book in the series begins in Taisho 14 (1925) with Koume, the 14-year-old daughter of a restaurant owner, who commutes back and forth to an girl's academy. One day her friend Akiko asks Koume to join her in an all-girl baseball team and have a match with a boys team. While the first volume can be read as a stand-alone work, the second volume does continue the story.
The second book in the series, Taisho Baseball Girls: Covered in Dust and Dirt (Taisho Yakyu Musume. Tsuchi to Hokori ni Mamiremasu?), is set in the summer of Taisho 14. Koume, Akiko, Manoe and the rest of the nine members of the Baseball Girls continue to face off against numerous all boy teams, and have trouble facing the fast balls thrown by them. To combat the anxiety they experience due to the difficulties of playing against more experienced teams, they decide to abandon the traditional baseball uniform in favor of a kimono style uniform and partition off the batters box so the other team can't see what they are doing.
Apart from baseball the series also shows a different side of Japan rarely seen in anime. For example, the popular sailor school uniforms are introduced as western style clothes during the Taisho period.
