ベイビーステップ

A diligent student named Eiichirou Maruo decides to exercise more during his free time because of health concerns. He joins the Southern Tennis Club at the start of his freshman year after seeing a flyer. During his trial, he meets Natsu Takasaki, another first-year member who is passionate about becoming a professional tennis player. In contrast, Eiichirou's study-oriented lifestyle exists because he believes it is necessary but not enjoyable. However, as he plays more tennis, he becomes fascinated by the sport and hopes to improve his skills enough to compete with top players. Baby Steps follows the story of a hardworking and perfectionist boy who develops his unique playing style through dedication and practice.
