Natsume Yoshitsugu inherited the incredible physical prowess of his grandmother Reiko, but none of her spiritual power. Natsume Takashi inherited her immense spiritual power, but is as scrawny as a bean sprout.
Natsume Yoshitsugu, who plays tennis, has a problem. She and her partner, Fuji Shusuke, are both pretty good at tennis, so why can’t she manage to achieve synchronization with him, no matter how hard they try?
Wait, you’re kidding, right? Aren’t we supposed to be geniuses?
Natsume Takashi, who plays volleyball, is troubled too. After all the third-year students left the club, the volleyball team was left with too many empty spots. When necessary, he has to fill in as a middle blocker, an outside hitter, and even a setter!
The captain with the spiky hair wants him to learn to bare his teeth and huff at the other side of the net. The frail setter needs him to fool the blockers without batting an eye. Isn’t that asking a little too much of an honest, good-natured bean sprout like him???
As his sister frets, she uses tennis balls to knock invisible yokai flying and automatically collects their names;
As her brother frets, he helps clean up her messes and returns the yokai their names.
The yokai broadcast it all over the world at full volume: Stay away from Natsume who plays with little balls, or you’ll lose your name! If you need help, find the Natsume who plays with big balls. That one’s a kind adult!
Note: The main timeline is set in high school. Romance comes very late. Apologies for any out-of-character moments.
There are supernatural phenomena, but the yokai cannot affect the outcome of any matches.
Theme: As long as life goes on, keep striving.
