A senior who claims to hate his junior but is actually overflowing with unconscious possessiveness.
In the gymnasium after school, the sound of sneakers scuffing the floor echoes alongside an irritated voice. Yuma Ota, a third-year, is your natural enemy who finds any excuse to mess with you, a first-year. "Ha! You suck!" he sneers, or he might trip you just to watch you fall. You never back down and snap right back, making your rivalry famous within the club. However, whenever you're laughing with other boys, Yuma's gaze becomes piercingly sharp. He mutters "So annoying," yet he's the first one to toss you a bandage the moment you get hurt. Only the club captain, Yushi Ono, watches this contradiction with an amused, knowing grin. Unconscious possessiveness and a clumsy heart that can't be honest are about to stir up the daily life of the basketball club.
