Kanemaru Shinji: Beyond the Diamond

Reborn into the world of Diamond no Ace as Kanemaru Shinji, a hardworking but often overlooked third baseman, our protagonist must navigate his second chance at life. With full knowledge of the original story’s future, he faces a choice—follow the same path or carve out a destiny of his own. As he watches the rising stars of Seidou, including the captain Yuki Tetsuya, Kanemaru feels the pull of greatness and vows to become a player who can stand alongside the best.

With the legendary Seidou High School on the horizon and the intense competition that comes with it, Kanemaru strives not just to be part of the team, but to rise as the team’s fourth batter. Will he be able to break free from the original Kanemaru’s fate, or will he follow the same path as before?
