Join Fuko as she steams ahead in this lazy gourmet adventure!

Ōhashi Hirai's The Days of Diamond (Diamond no Kōzai) manga launched in Weekly Young Jump in February 2023.

MANGA Plus describes the manga:

“I was meant to play baseball!” Jiro Ayasegawa has a natural gift for sports, but life can be lonely at the top. He's crushed other players' dreams. Some have even given up their sport altogether because of him. Eventually, he encounters "The Bambies," a low-level, local kids' baseball team that plays purely for fun. Jiro signs up, thinking that he's finally found an easy-going team to enjoy baseball with, until things take a sudden turn...

Shueisha published the manga's fourth compiled book volume on December 19. The manga was nominated this year in the 17th Manga Taisho awards.
