Synopsis

Hiromi Oka joins the tennis club out of admiration for its elegant star, Reika Ryuzaki. New coach Jin Munakata surprises everyone by choosing the inexperienced Hiromi to compete, provoking resentment from teammates and doubts within Hiromi herself.

His demanding training pushes her to discover a love of tennis deeper than simple admiration. Supported by friends and tested in difficult matches, Hiromi begins to reveal her talent and understand the persistence the sport requires.
