First of all, since many people compare it to Hanzawa Naoki I'd give my 2 cents too. Yes, coming from the same author there are many similarities. Especially the business part felt the extension of Hanzawa Naoki with different companies and people. Moreover there was the same narration and a few familiar faces.

But what made this one different and (imo) better was the addition of the baseball team and Chairman Aoshima's character. It honestly gave the series much more heart and emotions. Seeing the baseball team grow together and supporting each other throughout did made me a bit emotional at times. I think it did a good job in signifying the impact and importance sports have and how watching and supporting them is as necessary as playing them. Definitely as President Kido mentions in the last episode, it was kinda cheesy at times but yes in the end I liked it all.

My problem lies with the business part of the show. I am not saying it was bad but it could have been much better. Bringing Hanzawa Naoki again here, I found the same issue with both the series and that is they are too black and white. Like you have the protagonist who will somehow win the day and the corrupt antagonist who is kinda boring with his vague ambitions and underhand tricks.
And I'll repeat myself. It's not that these are bad things. They are fine and at some point I enjoyed them a lot. It's just that at this point I am not too fond of them and prefer greyer and complex plots. But yeah atleast there was some character development involved here and there so that was a plus point.
I took a little liking to all the characters. President Hosokawa and Director Sasai were an interesting duo. Chairman Aoshima with his beliefs and morals was my favourite and the enthusiastic baseball team and all around it made me root hard for them.

Overall a really good and well-made combination of business and sports genre with both in perfect balance.
