The Kitakomachi High School Badminton Club is looking for new members to participate in competitions. Your captain Nagisa Aragaki is a good player, but demands hard training from everyone in the club and drives away so many interested parties. The new coach Kentarō Tachibana sees the sporty Ayano Hanesaki, who has just entered the first year, and tries to win her for the club. But she refuses because she hates badminton. After all, her friend Elena dragged Ayano to the club because she used to enjoy playing badminton. Elena herself becomes the manager of the club. But in the club's first serious game against Kaoruko Serigaya from Konan High School, a rival of Ayanos from middle school, Ayano loses the fun of the game again. Her mother, Uchika Hanesaki, was a famous player who passed her love for badminton on to her daughter. But when Ayano lost a game against Serigaya, she was abandoned by her mother, has lived with her grandparents since then and began to hate the game. It is only through the support of the other club members that Ayano can regain the fun she had in the game as a child.

Ayano unexpectedly meets Connie Christensen at a club training camp with a player from another school. The Danish girl is a promising talent in badminton and was trained by Ayano's mother after she left Ayano. Connie is like a second daughter to Uchika and now wants to prove that she is the better player too. With an aggressive style of play that is reckless towards her own partner, she can win, but in the end is just as unhappy as Ayano. Connie is cheered up by her classmates and at the end of the training camp she talks to Ayano about her mother, who is about to come back to Japan. Ayano has started to hate her mother and doesn't want to see her anymore.

The Kitakomachi team held up well at the following high school games. They meet a lot of familiar faces again and one day between games, Connie and Ayano take Elena and Connie's friend Yuika for a trip to a mall. There the girls get to know each other better, but Ayano shows an irrepressible will to win over Connie and all the other players in order to show her mother that she was left unjustly. When Uchika Hanesaki arrives in Japan soon afterwards, she tells her daughter that she only wanted to harden her with her absence.

In the final of the high school tournament, Nagisa and Ayano face each other. While Ayano is only focused on victory, having fun and losing sight of her friends more and more, Nagisa struggles with her knee and Ayano's greater talent. Nevertheless, the motivated Nagisa can defeat her opponent after losing the first set in the second set. Ayano then loses her courage because she realizes that the audience does not support her either. So she finds strength again and can catch up, so that the game is only narrowly decided for Nagisa in the end. Uchika Hanesaki is still proud of her daughter's game and invites her to Denmark. But Ayano refuses and prefers to stay with her friends. Nagisa's knee needs treatment, but soon she can start training again and also play against Ayano, with whom she takes part in the national championships.
