Aim for the Ace follows Hiromi as she's picked as regular member of the tennis team. Hiromi starts off as a casual tennis player with not much confidence in herself. She never believed that she'd go far, but she joined the tennis team anyway due to her girl crush on Madame Butterfly. The coach sees potential in Hiromi, which starts the main drama in the first half. She's having to navigate jealousy, hazing, and bullying, while not having confidence in her own skill. "Why did the coach pick me?", and "what does he see in me?" are the questions that sheconstantly asks.

This anime is an 8/10 for the romance, character development, and the grit of the different tennis players. This anime was an obvious inspiration for later sports series, but you also see the inspiration that Attack No 1 had on this series as well. Personally, I like Attack No 1 more, but Aim for the Ace is a great series as well. I highly recommend both of them.
