The Oni Kid

The Oni Kid

The day before summer vacation, Minoru, a junior high school student who has quit the baseball club, meets a boy who is watching the practice on the field. Without thinking, Minoru asks, “Are you observing baseball?” But the boy does not reply.

This is a series of stories by Nagashima Hiromi, a winner of the “Cakes Creator Contest,” about Minoru, the boy, and the warm interaction between them and the people around them.
