    Synopsis:

    The narrative follows Nagisa Aragaki, a talented but emotionally fragile badminton player grappling with the aftermath of a devastating tournament loss. Consumed by shame, she exerts excessive pressure on her high school clubmates through relentless training, leading to a dwindling roster and a bleak outlook for the team's future. The arrival of Kentarou Tachibana, an Olympic-caliber coach accompanied by Ayano Hanesaki – Nagisa’s formidable rival from the past – introduces a complex dynamic.

    Ayano, however, is struggling with her own feelings about competitive badminton. The story explores themes of athletic ambition, emotional vulnerability, and the delicate balance between rivalry and support. As Nagisa confronts her insecurities and Ayano navigates a difficult personal crossroads, the series examines how they can work together to revitalize the club and find renewed purpose within the sport. The atmosphere is grounded in realistic portrayals of high school life and the pressures associated with competitive athletics.
