Taiki Inomata knows that if you are not the first person in the gym, you are not trying hard enough. Every single morning, he pushes his limits on the badminton court, but his true motivation is the girl practicing just a few feet away. Chinatsu Kano is the superstar of the basketball team, a rising legend who feels light-years out of his league. Taiki was content to admire her from a distance, fueled by the quiet camaraderie of their shared morning routine, until a sudden twist of fate turns his world upside down. When Chinatsu’s parents move abroad, she ends up living under the same roof as Taiki, turning his secret crush into a daily reality. Now, he has to survive the heart-pounding tension of living with the girl he loves while trying to prove he belongs on the same national stage she is destined for. It is a grueling climb toward the championship and an even harder journey toward her heart. This is a breathtaking look at the sweat, the nerves, and the overwhelming heat of young love.
