The official website for the television anime adaptation of Mitsuru Adachi’s Mix baseball manga revealed on Tuesday that Wataru Takagi will play Eisuke Tachibana, and Kikuko Inoue will play Mayumi Tachibana.
The Touch baseball manga ran in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday from 1981 to 1986.
The series inspired a television anime in 1985, which received several television special and film sequels.
The manga’s story is set in Meisei Academy about 30 years after the events in Adachi’s Touch manga.
