Love

Eiichiro joins the tennis club because he wants to get in shape; Natsu is the first person to show him that the game can become a life’s work. He brings a notebook to practice, she brings the instinct and confidence he lacks, and their different approaches make them good partners on and off court.

Power

Eiichiro wins points by turning tennis into something he can measure: he records patterns, tests a shot, and changes one detail at a time. Natsu plays by feel and keeps him honest, while Takuma’s experience and Rames’s serve show what that method still has to catch up to.

Cute

Natsu has the easy grin of someone who really loves tennis, while Eiichiro’s careful notes and total seriousness make him endearing in a different way. Himeko’s teasing, Hana’s bright support, and Kojiro’s attempts to be a helpful senior fill out the club’s gentler side.
