Synopsis
Taiki
Inomata, a third-year high school student, attends Eimei Academy, an integrated
school with a major sports program. Having joined the high school badminton
team, Taiki tries to attend open training as soon as possible. But no matter
how early he goes, he always arrives second to the gym. The person who is one
step ahead of him is Chinatsu Kano, a first-year high school student who is in
love with Taiki. Chinatsu is the rising star of the basketball team, and the
difference between her and Taiki couldn't be greater.
Although
Taiki is a decent badminton player, his popularity is nowhere near Chinatsu's,
making it even less likely that his feelings will be reciprocated. However, in
a strange twist of fate, he ends up living in Taiki's house! Wanting to become
a worthy rival for Chinatsu, Taiki pursues the same dream as his lover:
participating in the Nationals. Taiki begins to train harder than ever, all in
order to establish a solid relationship with his new housemate.
