Nippon-Ham Fighters outfielder Chusei Mannami (26) has updated his social media accounts after his "confession" caused a stir, generating a lot of buzz.
Manami participated in the "Mynavi All-Star Game 2026" held at Tokyo Dome on the 28th. During the player introductions on the Jumbotron, which displayed each player's appealing points, she confessed, "I'm 26 years old and single. I recently went through a breakup (laughs)," which became a hot topic.
Manami won the MVP award for the second time, the first being in the second game of 2023. After the game, she updated her Instagram and posted some off-shot photos with the hashtags "#heartbreak #unrequitedlove".
Fans have responded to the post with comments such as: "You recently got your heart broken, huh? That's the 'You dumped me' batting style," "Heartbreak is nothing to him, At Bat 4 for 4 hit 2 RBI, it was awesome!", "Unrequited love is cool, well done, I wish you happiness!", "Who is the person who made Manaka feel so blue!?", "It must have been a good love, I hope you meet someone wonderful!", "Turning heartbreak into strength, nice MVP," and "Let's make her say 'Oh no!' here."
