At eighteen, Seiichi Yukimura was one of the four Grand Slam champions who drew the attention of the entire tennis world. Beneath dazzling spotlights, he announced his retirement.
At twenty, Seiichi Yukimura was a rising star in the art world, graceful and refined in everything he did. His former arrogance and flamboyance were nowhere to be seen. He passed away quietly on a stark-white operating table.
His soul drifted through time for five years, then raced backward.
When he opened his eyes again in the same world, twenty-five-year-old Seiichi Yukimura found himself out of place in a world that was at once familiar and strange.
Five years of living in secret had made him nearly perfect, but there was one thing missing: tennis.
Remembering the boy who said, "Tennis is who I am," Yukimura returned to Rikkai University without hesitation.
This time, he would protect his own dream.

I'm you.
The same eyes, the same style of play. When the real answer was finally revealed, it wasn't surprising at all.

When gods unite, the world is bound to tremble!
