Synopsis:
Yamato Akitsuki’s transition from rural Hiroshima to bustling Tokyo takes an unexpected turn when he accepts a living arrangement at a bathhouse and dormitory run by his aunt and cousin. He's immediately captivated by Suzuka Asahina, a highly regarded high jumper and fellow student, observing her dedication at the local track. Their paths intertwine as Yamato joins the school’s track team, seeking to earn Suzuka’s favor.
The series explores themes of self-improvement and connection within a vibrant, multi-generational setting. Yamato's pursuit of athletic excellence becomes intertwined with navigating social dynamics – from the competitive world of track and field to the lively atmosphere of the dormitory. His efforts to bridge the gap between his carefree nature and Suzuka’s exacting standards form the core of their evolving relationship. The narrative balances personal growth alongside the everyday rhythms of life in a shared living space.
