Avex Entertainment launched an official website for the television anime adaptation of Mountain Pukuichi's girls baseball manga Tamayomi on Monday, revealing the lead staff and a teaser visual (pictured). The anime series is scheduled for a Spring 2020 premiere.

Toshinori Fukushima, known for directing the later seasons of the baseball anime Major, is helming the series at Studio A-CAT. Touko Machida (Harukana Receive, Sounan Desu ka?) is handling the series composition. Kouichi Kikuta (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!) is designing the characters.

Tamayomi follows the pitcher Yomi Takeda, who was not able to get very far in a cross-school baseball tournament in her Junior High years. Since the catcher on her team wasn't at her level, she couldn't use her signature move, the "Magic Throw," and eventually regretted not being able to use it. After Junior High, she decided to stop playing baseball and went to Shin Koshigaya High School, a school without a baseball club.

There, she found her long lost childhood friend, Tamaki Yamazaki, who used to play catchball with her when they were kids. Tamaki also played baseball during her Junior High years as a catcher, and could even catch Yomi's "Magic Throw!"

Their promise with each other during their childhood could now be fulfilled! Walking together on the road of baseball once again... The story of the girls who love baseball will begin! (Source: MU)
