(You can enjoy this even if you haven't watched the anime or read the previous works. It can be read as a sports coming-of-age novel, and you don't need to know anything about tennis to follow along.)
With the new U-17 tournament about to begin, a bombshell announcement shocked everyone:
Kunimitsu Tezuka, the professional player who had broken into the world's top 150 in just two years, had joined the Japanese national team right before the tournament to compete in the U-17 World Cup!
Everyone: ??? Why isn't he using the off-season to rest, get back in shape, and prepare for the Australian Open? Why come here to bully a bunch of amateurs?!
But Kunimitsu Tezuka barely took to the court. He might as well have had “sightseeing” written all over him.
After the U-17 World Cup ended, Kunimitsu Tezuka said goodbye to the rare friends he'd made and returned to the professional circuit, continuing his climb toward the top, one step at a time.

Hani no Tsuka Yō is a prodigy who entered one of the world's top medical schools at just fifteen, as well as a three-generation veteran of the Seigaku tennis club. After witnessing Seigaku win the national championship, she retired from the sport at the peak of her success and went overseas to study, leaving behind a legend.
But few people knew that her childhood friend was also her boyfriend.
When their former companions learned the two were together, they were shocked at first, then decided it made perfect sense.
They were shocked because the two were so alike. It made sense because anyone who had seen them together knew that no one in the world could ever come between them.
The relationship between Kunimitsu Tezuka and Hani no Tsuka Yō was like that of two trees growing side by side. Their roots plunged deep into the earth separately, while their branches brushed gently together in the sunlight.
Because they were alike, they understood each other. Because they understood each other, they cherished one another.
P.S. 1. The U-17 tournament only takes up a small part of the story. Most of it follows Tezuka on the professional circuit.
2. The heroine has her own career arc, but the story mainly focuses on Tezuka.
3. Tezuka will win and lose, and continue to grow.
4. The main story is told in third person, with some original elements.
Theme: Love should make a good life even better
Life is not going well 🤔 Look at your legs and gain courage 🤔 When can you become a person like Legs who will never run away, never look back, has a plan, and has consciousness [Tut your chin] I really want to be a person like Guoguang.
Now that I have this little sheep sister, I don't want that little sheep sister anymore.
There could be more [dog heads] in this kind of extras
I'm looking forward to it with my little heart, I can't get enough of it, refresh it every day 🔄
Ah yes, Guoguang is a very aristocratic young man, and his positioning as the most luxurious is really appropriate.
