A badminton guy falls for a basketball girl. Do these sports-crossed lovers have a chance?
Taiki Inomata loves badminton, but he has a long way to go before he can reach nationals. When Taiki sees upperclassman Chinatsu Kano practicing her heart out on the girls’ basketball team, he falls for her hard. After an unexpected turn of events brings the two closer together, sports might not be the first thing on their minds anymore!
Thanks to Chinatsu and her elevated game, Eimei High holds a steady lead over Saisho High as they enter the fourth quarter of the qualifier finals. But Yumeka returns to the court with a fire lit under her. Can Chinatsu finally defeat the precious childhood friend who inspired her to play basketball? Or will she come up short again?
