Synopsis
High school softball star Minatsu juggles love triangle with classmate Shu and boxer Naoto amid dreams and friendship.
Based on the Adachi manga of the same name. The story follows Minatsu Nakazato, a spirited high school girl who balances her studies with her passion for softball. Her life becomes more complicated when two very different boys enter her world: Shu Akiba, a fellow student who shares her daily school life, and Naoto Kadomatsu, a dedicated boxer with dreams of making it to the top. As these three young lives intersect, they navigate the complexities of friendship, first love, and the challenges of pursuing their individual goals while their feelings become increasingly intertwined.
