His pitch during the last game catches the attention of a scout from the prestigious Seidou High School in Tokyo, who soon convinces a begrudging Sawamura to observe their school's nationally-ranked baseball team practice. At Seidou, an impromptu competition between Sawamura and one of their batters causes him to cross paths with Kazuya Miyuki—a catcher who can pull out Sawamura's strengths as a pitcher.
The experience he has accumulated at Seidou changes his initial reluctance to transfer to Tokyo. Although he still feels guilt over betraying his friends, they encourage him to take the offer and enroll in Seidou. Filled with a renewed sense of determination, Sawamura begins the arduous journey of becoming Seidou's team ace and heading for the nationals while carrying the spirit of his former school with him.

Thank you guys and hope you continue translating this.
Sports mangas are usually written to cater to a specific fan of the sports related and frankly I had never been a fan of Baseball. I somehow felt like reading some of the mangas of the fall 2013 animes before watching the shows and somehow picked up "Ace of Diamond"...

Since no one wrote a review until now about one of my favorite manga here it is:
The story mainly focuses on a highschool baseball player called Eijun Sawamura a totally different kind of pitcher. The manga bring quite a lot the concepts of baseball.
The story follows how me a country player from a small school is scouted to a elite baseball highschool in tokyo. The rest of the story follows his progress as a baseball player and how him and his team fight for the koushien.
