Synopsis:

Sora Kurumatani has dedicated his life to basketball despite a persistent physical disadvantage. Driven by a desire to fulfill his mother's hopes, he joins the Kuzuryuu High School basketball club, only to discover a team disillusioned with the sport. He encounters Chiaki and Momoharu Hanazono, former players who have lost their enthusiasm.

Sora’s exceptional skill and relentless work ethic spark a shift within the team. His dynamic play challenges the existing members, gradually reigniting their forgotten passion for basketball. The series explores themes of perseverance, the importance of dedication over innate talent, and the power of rekindled motivation within a group striving to rediscover shared purpose. It offers a focused look at athletic competition and personal growth within a school setting, emphasizing the journey of rediscovering passion rather than grand spectacle.
