Literature: Moshidora

Peter Drucker: A legendary figure in business management and often referred to as its very father. His book management has been referred to as the Bible of contemporary businessmen. This is the story of a high school girl who takes an ordinary baseball team to the summer nationals with Management in hand.

Moshi Kōkō Yakyū no Joshi Manager ga Dorakkā no "Management" o Yondara ("What if the Female Manager of a High School Baseball Team Read Drucker's Management?"). Originally a business novel by Natsumi Iwasaki, Moshidora was adapted to a 10-part anime in the Spring 2011 season. The story is about a girl who decides to manage her school's baseball team using the principles of Drucker's Management. There is also a live-action film, which was released on June 4, 2011.

Moshidora contains examples of:

Ill Girl: Yuki

Look Behind You: Ayano pulls this off on Minami in order to avoid answering Minami's questions.
Overly Long Title: That's why most call it Moshidora.
Sailor Fuku

Save Our Team: One of the reasons Minami became a manager.
