Shinmachi Ryotaro is a 37-year-old professional soccer player. He devoted his life to the sport, and he was a member of the national soccer team. After an injury, his play has been in decline. This led to him playing for the J3 League. Now, he is forced to retire as a soccer player. All he knows is soccer, but at the age of 37, he must find a regular job like other people and work like them.

His daughters are extremely proud of him because he plays soccer, so he isn't able to tell them about his retirement. Shinmachi Ryotaro then finds sports management company Victory. He decides to work there and work hard for the company, but, in his mind, he still has a hard time accepting his playing career is over. He faces a big problem at work.

In HSL the ML manages his first pro baseball team. In OR the ML is a pro football player who is forced to retire. He then joins the management side as a Rookie sports agent. Both are based on sports.
The comradery between the colleagues at the office is quite similar.
Both ML have very supportive families.
Differences:
HSL is based on baseball, OR explores multiple sports.
HSL focuses on the business side. OR is a lighter drama and shows the lives of the athletes.
