I'm pretty sure has a title rivaling Munto's full title. 



Title: もしドラ, もし高校野球の女子マネージャーがドラッカーの『マネジメント』を読んだら, What If a Female Manager of a High School Baseball Team Read Drucker's "Management"?, Drucker in the Dugout
Animation Production: Production I.G.
Genre: Seinen, Slice of Life, Sports
Airs: 2011-03-16

Series Summary from ANN:
Moshidora centers around a high school girl named Minami Kawashima who becomes the baseball team manager at Tokyo's Hodokubo High School. Minami accidentally buys Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices — a classic productivity guide by the Austrian-American management guru Peter Drucker — and uses it to rally her dispirited team.
Kenn's Comment: It was supposed to start yesterday, but I'm sure we all know what happened in Japan. If you don't know by now, you've been living on another planet or something. Go flip to your favourite non-Fox news channel and see for yourself. It's set to start on Saturday. The interesting thing about the series is that it's technically not a spring series. It's got 10 episodes, 3 on Saturday, 3 on Monday and the rest air at the rate of an episode a day, meaning that this will be finished before April. It's done before the Spring season starts.

Anywho, the novel of Moshidora is a best selling novel of 2010, selling 1.8 million copies last year. There's obviously something about it that drove the sales. Also, it uses Drucker's Management extensively. Meaning that you might learn something from watching the series. If you don't know who Drucker is click the links to go to find something out about him. Also, you can get more information about the series from Production I.G.'s page about it.
