Agari Kamiya is famous for her backhand smash, while Mune Oomune has an aggressive playstyle and Kiruka Ushirode possesses impenetrable defense. Despite their skill at ping pong, the team has never advanced beyond local city tournaments. However, everything changes when transfer student Koyori Tsumujikaze arrives in town. Filled with a fierce passion for the game, she quickly becomes another top player on the team.
