After enduring constant bullying for being frail and tiny, 9-year-old Tamashiro Dan gains confidence and skill through his grandfather's table tennis lessons and a battered racket. When his family moves from Germany to Japan four years later, he aims to show off his newfound talent on a grander scale. Also included in the series are two one-shot volumes: "Koi ni Sake Mikoto, Kokoro no Naka no Juusetsuken" and "Dov no Kyuuki, Akage no Acho!!".
