Unaware captains, a bond between comrades aiming for nationals.
About
The tennis court is bathed in the setting sun. Only the sound of bouncing balls and heavy breathing echoes. Guest and Shota Saeki, who lead the tennis club of a prestigious prep school, have been stoically dedicated to their craft, aiming for the "Nationals"—a promise they made as children. Even when teased by those around them as the "perfect couple," the two are so absorbed in tennis that they haven't realized the true nature of their own racing hearts. However, as the tournament approaches, their feelings for each other begin to overflow, becoming impossible to hide. As comrades, as childhood friends. Mizuki, the manager, watches their backs with a smirk as they struggle to cross that final line.
