The first season of Mix: Meisei Story aired in 2019 with 24 total episodes. It is based on the Mix manga series by Mitsuru Adachi, which was first serialized in Shogakukan’s Monthly Shounen Sunday magazine on May 12, 2012 under the Shounen Sunday Comics. Twenty tankoubon volumes have been released as of February 2023, with a 21st volume set for release on September 12, 2023.

Crunchyroll streamed the first season of Mix: Meisei Story and describes the synopsis as:
A new generation steps up to the plate in a moving sequel to the 1985 baseball manga, Touch. Stepbrothers Touma and Suichirou are ace players on Meisei High School’s baseball team, and thanks to them, the team may finally have a chance at returning to nationals. But little by little, a tragic legacy unfolds as the stepbrothers follow in their fathers’ footsteps.
