This was such a cute entry! I loved seeing the art progress as the story went along. The writing, too, was very cute and each character's personality was very easy to distinguish! Thank you sm for your time <3

I LOVE THIS SO, SO MUCH!!!! everything was written with such loving attention to detail, and i especially got soft for the little suyasaka part in there!! i also love the way the characters were written, especially hanai – the part where he got overly competitive over a game is so in character for him!! this has such a warm and kind mood to it and was really fun to play, thank you for making it!!

OMG!!! This is so creative, I am loving it so much!!!! I super enjoyed the game part, it made me so excited to click on everything and be careful not to double click on objects, then to read their stories. Being the journalist in this entry is so much fun and the article made me so emotional, I love these kids so much ;3; I loved hos IC they were, and seriously, this entry gave me the same heartwarming feeling that the anime does as well. Thank you so much!!! It was super fun ;3; Thank you!

This is a great entry! Exploring the home team’s dugout was a original interpretation of the theme. The stories had that sense of heartfelt whimsy that makes Oofuri so much fun and we even got the finished article at the end!

Ahhh, I can't get over how THEM this is. The art, the way they assbutt around, the way they're stupid teenage boys but with all of the hella gay vibes that makes Oofuri such an experience. The dugout layout with the find and learn about the elements of it is SOOOOOO good. My favorite part was definitely Abe being a ridiculous mother hen and Mihashi maaayyybe trolling him just a little and the team being resigned to the fact that this is their battery. Their gay, gay battery.

Y'all took all the things that define Oofuri, made it even gayer, and I'm in love with all of it.

I love the idea that for a baseball team, the dugout is their home. And you 'decorated' it with all the things that make a home feel like home — food, drink, clothing, artwork, messes...and all the memories that go with them. This was such a great presentation!
