Intro
It's April. You've just started high school and are beginning to settle in. You didn't have a specific club in mind, and most of the athletic clubs you admired already had enough managers, leaving you at a loss.
One day after school, while walking down the hallway toward the shoe lockers with your childhood friend Satoru, a poster on the bulletin board catches your eye.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Boys' Basketball Club

We can't enter tournaments without 5 people!! Someone please join!! Ideally, we'd love a cute manager too... just saying... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
He scoffs at the poster.
What a pathetic-looking poster.
Aw, really? Well, I want to be a manager! Go on ahead without me! You start running toward Gym 2.
