Synopsis:

The story centers on the unconventional members of a high school tennis club: Kanae, Nasuno, Marimo, and Yuri. This quartet presents a stark contrast to typical student life. Kanae’s disregard for conventional rules often results in bizarre situations, while Nasuno leverages her wealth to manipulate outcomes. Marimo's impulsive actions frequently land the group in precarious circumstances. Yuri, the sole grounded member, navigates their chaotic antics as she attempts to maintain some semblance of order within the club.

The series unfolds through a series of comedic vignettes, where the pursuit of tennis takes a backseat to the girls’ playful mischief and absurd schemes. The narrative emphasizes character dynamics – the exasperated junior versus the disruptive seniors – creating a lighthearted atmosphere built on escalating absurdity. It's an exploration of youthful energy and the unexpected bonds formed amidst chaos, presented with a fast-paced and humorous approach.
