content
Fifteen-year-old Tsubasa Sonokawa falls in love with her older classmate, Sugiyama, after helping her with a faint attack. But she is quickly too intrusive for him that he rejects her. To cheer Tsubasa, her friend Yuri invites her to help her manage the basketball club. Tsubasa immediately got involved there with great enthusiasm and tried to get to know all of her male protégés. When he notices that her new manager is even taking notes on each individual, Tsubasa is afraid that her intrusiveness will scare off her new friends. But they take their nature calmly and are happy about the interest shown in them.
After a while, Sugiyama apologizes to Tsubasa for rejecting her and offers her a relationship. But now she gives him a basket - also because she found out that he wasn't helping her with the weakness. As it soon turns out, it was the tight-lipped Aki from the basketball club that she particularly likes. But soon Tsubasa will have to fight to remain a manager. The boys have taken them all to their hearts, but the trainer rejects girls as managers.
