One Outs (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese baseball-themed manga series written and illustrated by Shinobu Kaitani. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Business Jump from 1998 to 2006, followed by a short-term sequel, One Outs: Miwaku no All-Star-hen, from 2008 to 2009. A 25-episode anime television series adaptation produced by Madhouse, and directed by Yuzo Sato, aired on Nippon TV from October 2008 to April 2009.
Ostensibly One Outs is a baseball anime, and much of the series does depict sportsmen playing the game. But the thematic and narrative focus of the series is on psychological warfare rather than sporting technique.
