Catch Me at the Ballpark!
A warm, gently comedic slice-of-life anime about connection and small kindnesses blooming between a weary regular and a stadium vendor in a ballpark setting.
To escape his tiring job, weary Murata finds escape at a nearby baseball stadium. While the games are thrilling, it’s Ruriko, the gyaru as cold as the beer she serves but secretly a sweetheart, who keeps him coming back. As her first regular, Murata discovers the warmth behind her frosty demeanor, and their hilarious, heartwarming encounters light up the ballpark and maybe even their hearts.
