Real  

Tomomi Nomiya was once captain of his high school's basketball team, but he dropped out after causing an accident that harmed a young girl. He then dedicated himself to helping her recover and met Kiyoharu Togawa, who had lost the use of his right leg and played wheelchair basketball as an alternative. Tomomi was defeated in a one-on-one game with Kiyoharu, but this encounter inspired him to continue pursuing his love for basketball while also helping others. Meanwhile, Hisanobu Takahashi replaced Tomomi as captain and suffered an accident that left him paralyzed below the waist. The story follows these three young men as they overcome their disabilities and inner conflicts in order to achieve their dreams and ignite a passion that unites them.
