Chapter 3

A New Dream is the third chapter of the manga series Kowloon's Ball Parade.

Summary
Karin offers Tamao and Tao scholarships to Kokuryuzan High, which surprises Tamao. Tao then asks Tamao regarding Kokuryuzan High, to which Tamao explains that thirty years ago, The Kowloons from Kokuryuzan High defeated the Hakuo Gakuin baseball team 3 years in a row, and were regarded as legendary.

However, he heard that the baseball team from Kokuryuzan has since disbanded, which was confirmed by Karin. Karin then brings the duo to Kokuryuzan High School, and shows them the field which she had reinstated one year before. She also explains that she had registered the baseball team, and was signing up new members and offering scholarships to special recruits. However, Tamao and Tao were the first 2 players that she had reached out to. Hearing this, Tamao tells Tao that it was not a good choice to accept the offer, since it would be pointless if there was no team to play with.

Overhearing their conversation, Karin's grandfather, the chairman of Kokuryuzan High School, explains how Karin was motivated to bring back the Kowloons and that she was very determined even though he had tried to dissuade her, going so far as to pull all the weeds and remove every rock within the field. He requests the two to convince her to give up her dream. However, Tao proceeds to accept the offer, and convinces Tamao to do so. Tamao then desperately tries to think of a plan to assemble a baseball team for Kokuryuzan, and comes up with a solution to recruit a team of underdogs of the baseball world.
