Even though he lacks in experience and physical steps, Maruo manages to devise a more strategic approach to the game that’s in-line with his scholarly skills. Maruo learns his opponents’ habits and tendencies, to the point that he can predict how they’ll act on the court!

Off the court, Maruo meets Natsu Takasaki: a gorgeous girl with a true passion for tennis. With Natsu by his side, Maruo aims for the top. He makes his goal in life to become a professional tennis player!
