Afternoons at Rikkai Dai Junior High are always filled with the sight of boys running around and swinging their rackets. And at the noisy courts, there's always one quiet, gentle figure. He's no good at tennis, but he's kind and gentle, like a soft ray of moonlight quietly falling into the hearts of the boys from the Seigaku, Hyotei, and Rikkai Dai tennis clubs.
He's the beloved figure everyone keeps tucked away in their hearts. The Rikkai Dai players rein in their sharp edges for him, the Seigaku boys soften their expressions, and Hyotei's proud star makes an exception just for him. Everyone finds their own way to approach him, care for him, and show him special affection. Their feelings are so obvious and intense that even bystanders can see them.
But he's hopelessly oblivious and pure-hearted. To him, gentle reminders, special treatment, and subtle concern are all just friendly gestures. Extra patience, glances that linger, and secret rivalries all go over his head. He simply thinks everyone is sincere and kind by nature.
Yukimura's gentleness, Sanada's strictness, and Yanagi's thoughtfulness; Tezuka's steadiness, Fuji's smiles, and Echizen's prickliness; Atobe's flamboyance and Oshitari's consideration: every one of them is hiding a fluttering heart. They're all proud and dazzling, commanding attention on the court, yet they're willing to patiently wait and quietly protect a boy who can't read their feelings.
Sunlight spills across the tennis court, and the boy remains completely unaware. Those dazzling boys are perfectly happy to hide their feelings, pampering him and waiting, hoping that one day their beloved figure will understand the one heart that beats so fiercely for him alone.
Can I give myself a 5-star rating?
