One Outs a Psychological Masterpiece 50https://i.pin.com/originals/78/99/e1/7899e192ffd0afc24a38533f54902c10.png General Thoughts: One Outs is a Sports Manga that is alot different then other Sports Manga It is about the Sport of Baseball but it differs in the aspect of how the manga displays this Sport and how it connects all to the Topic of Gambling. It isnt any get stronger and win more Series it is all about Making Money through the Game of Baseball while also Playing with the Human Mind. Summary: One Outs got its Name from the Game One Outs in which a Single Pitcher plays against a single Batter if the Batter hits the Ball for a Fair Play he Wins if he gets a Strikeout though the Pitcher wins. When Hiromichi Kojima who is an Legend in the Baseball World of One Outs Trains on Okinawa for the OffSeason he gets involved in the Game of One Outs even though he is a Professional he quickly Losses to an Gambler called Toua Tokuchi who won 499 Games of One Outs without Losing a Single One Kojima returns after a Short period of selfdoubt to take Tokuchi on one last time after 2 Strikes from Tokuchi he manages to Hit and win against Tokuchi winning the bet of the Two thus engaging the Story of One Outs. If you wonder what that Bet was and why Kojima lost read the Manga i try to keep this Review as Spoiler Free as Possible. The Psychological Aspect: The Manga plays alot with Quirks of the Human Mind you see how a Human can be Read easily through small Habits of theirs and how to Outplay them with their own strengths The One who absolutly Perfected this Technique is Tokuchi the MC while his Pitching is rather avarage his Trick Plays and His Technique are unrivaled by any Pitcher in the Entire Manga. He is a Pitcher so Strong he alone makes up some Wins at the Start of the Manga but that isnt his Real Strength because his real Ability shows alot later which makes it feel like a Powerup until you realise this Power has been there the Whole Time simply i can say Tokuchi as the Maincharacter and how he Plays the Game of Baseball and Manipulates everyone and everything around him is just so satisfying to read and if you like that you should Give One Outs a Shot even though the Side Cast isnt really the Best. The Artstyle: One Outs is an Older Series from the Late 90s this results in being a Manga which dosent have the Best Artstyle but it is a really Unique one which i really appreciated while reading.

End Word: One Outs is a great Manga and i hope that i could share my thoughts with you reading this something i still want to say is that One Outs also has an Anime Adaptation which covers the First 82 Chapter of the 175 Chapters Total since One Outs is an Older Series there is a Translation Gap sadly between Chapter 6882 at the Current Time of writing this Review so i will advise you to Watch the last 5 Episodes of the Anime to know what happens Or just watch the Anime and then Switch to the Manga anyways the Chapters slowly get Translated to my Knowledge so that we should have a Complete Translation in the Future. And Sorry if i made any Errors in my Review in terms of Grammar Mistakes English isnt my First Language i hope that you still enjoyed reading this though Thanks alot for Reading my Review hopefully you will give this amazing Manga a Shot now because it really is worth it.
