As a third-year student at Eimei Academy, Taiki Inomata attends an integrated school with a prominent sports program. Despite attempting to arrive early for open practice on the high school badminton team, Taiki always finds himself second - Chinatsu Kano, a first-year senior high student and Taiki's crush, always manages to beat him.
Chinatsu is a rising star on the basketball team, seemingly miles ahead of Taiki in popularity and athletic ability. Though Taiki is a skilled badminton player, he believes that his feelings for Chinatsu may never be reciprocated. However, fate intervenes when Chinatsu unexpectedly moves in with Taiki.
Determined to impress Chinatsu and pursue their shared dream of competing in Nationals, Taiki begins training harder than ever before. With the goal of building a strong relationship with his new housemate, Taiki is determined to become a worthy match for Chinatsu.
