After suffering a crushing 21-0 loss at the National Junior Badminton Tournament, Nagisa Aragaki's passion for the sport turns bitter. Haunted by the humiliation of defeat, she takes out her frustration on her high school badminton club, pushing them mercilessly in training. Some players break under the pressure, while others simply quit. With the team shrinking and no new recruits daring to join, the club's survival seems uncertain. Then Kentarou Tachibana arrives as the new coach. A former Olympic-level player, he brings an unexpected surprise: Ayano Hanesaki, the girl who defeated Nagisa six months ago. But Ayano isn't the fierce rival Nagisa remembers-instead, she's withdrawn, struggling with her own conflicted feelings about badminton. Now, Nagisa must confront her own fear of failure, help Ayano rediscover her love for the game, and lead Kitakomachi High's badminton club to victory.
