Heck yeah, an educational anime! We need more of these.
It's interesting how Minami tries to translate the business-centered phrases to fit baseball management. This show encourages us to think out of the box and use educational resources that are available in different possible situations than the obvious. Of course business management is the largest field of management, but Moshidora shows us that a lot of useful knowledge in general management can be filtered out from it. The only possible issue is that I hope this show is realistic or plausible in its application of management, which any business students here could easily tell better than me.
Of course, we aren't just left with hard management here. We've gotten a decent amount of character background to garner our interests and care about what happens next. We also are getting an idea of the characters' goals and expectations, which will surely play a direct part in the management aspect of this anime. But what is Yuuki's medical issue that has been hampering her all these years? Is it a nervous system disorder?
Edit: It turns out that there is a brief
Economist article on the original novel. The breakthrough popularity of the novel has led to significantly increased sales of Drucker's
Management - Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices textbook.
