Love All Play

In junior high, Ryou Mizushima and his friends impulsively sign up for the badminton club. What starts as a casual tryout turns into a genuine passion, and Ryou throws himself into practice until he earns a spot in the prefectural tournament. Without a coach who can truly draw out his abilities, he assumes a powerhouse badminton program isn’t for him and plans to attend a nearby high school where he can keep playing purely for enjoyment.

That plan shifts when Yokohama Minato High School’s badminton coach takes notice of him. Known for one of the region’s strongest teams—and home to Kento Yusa, the player Ryou looks up to—the school forces Ryou to reconsider what he wants from the sport. With encouragement from his sister, he chooses to enroll and starts training under proper guidance, steadily building experience as he sets his sights on one day surpassing Yusa.
