Crunchyroll describes the story:
A new generation steps up to the plate in a moving sequel to the 1985 baseball manga, Touch. Stepbrothers Touma and Suichirou are ace players on Meisei High School's baseball team, and thanks to them, the team may finally have a chance at returning to nationals. But little by little, a tragic legacy unfolds as the stepbrothers follow in their fathers' footsteps.
Mitsuru Adachi launched the manga series in Shogakukan's Monthly Shonen Sunday magazine in 2012.
