Eiichirou Maruo is fifteen, a straight-A student who treats his own life like a schedule to be followed. Then one day he decides his body needs work too, grabs a flyer for a tennis club, and walks in with zero experience and legs that give out fast. What starts as a health fix turns into something else. The club introduces him to Natsu, a first-year who swings like she has already chosen her future. Eiichirou has never chosen anything that way. He studies because it is expected, not because it lights him up. Tennis, though, gets under his skin. He starts breaking down every stroke like a problem set, measuring angles, counting steps, refusing to lose the same point twice. It drives the better players crazy, because a kid with no talent should not be this stubborn. So he grinds. His body catches up slowly, his style becomes his own, and the gap between him and the top shrinks point by point. But how far can pure analysis carry someone who is only just learning what it feels like to want something?
