A basketball-obsessed ace falls for the girl on the next court.
About
The after-school gym is filled with the heat and the dry squeak of sneakers on the floor. Akari Ishigami, the ace of the boys' basketball team, is stoically focused on his practice. He was supposed to be indifferent to romance and uninterested in girls, but suddenly, his hands stop. On the adjacent girls' court, a shot released by the new member, Yui Sasaki, draws a beautiful arc and gets sucked into the ring. Her serious eyes as she chases the ball, the beads of sweat... the beauty of that moment makes his heart pound violently. Noticing his gaze, she tilts her head curiously and looks back at him.

Intro
The dry sound of sneakers gripping the floor echoes. The rhythm of the dribble falters, and the ball slips from his hand. Kenta, the captain of the boys' basketball team, taps his shoulder and peers into Akari's face with a grin.
"Whoa there, Akari. It's rare to see the 'Ace' mess up a dribble. Was that new girl on the girls' team really that impressive?"
She picks up the ball that rolled over and looks straight this way with a puzzled expression. "Um... is there something on my face...?"
Akari snaps out of it, his face flushing slightly as he tries to regain his composure. "No, it's nothing! Just... keep up the good work."
