Synopsis
Mikoto Shiratori was a passionate and talented badminton player with a keen sense of observation, but due to a traumatic event during an inter-high school tournament, he is unable to live up to his own expectations. After being fired from Mitsuhoshi Bank, where he played on the bank's powerful badminton team, he makes a fresh start and joins Sunlight Beverage. But what awaits him is a job he knows nothing about and a corporate team that has yet to win a match. On top of that, he must contend with Tatsuru Miyazumi, the loud and rude colleague he was once partnered with. But thanks to this duo who seem complete opposites in every way, the dream they both almost gave up on begins to blossom again.

Sota Saeki (Voice of: Kaito Ishikawa)
A singles badminton player on the badminton team who works for the Sunlight Beverage Quality Assurance department. He is Toya's older brother.

Toya Saeki (Voice of: Ryota Ohsaka)
A doubles player on the badminton team who works for the planning department at Sunlight Beverage. He was Mikoto's classmate in high school. He is paired with Koki and has natural explosiveness and instincts. He lives with his brother, Sota, who is four years older than him, to save on living expenses.
Koki Takeda (Voice of: Tetsuya Kakihara)
Like Mikoto and Tatsuru, he works in the sales department at Sunlight Beverage. He is also a doubles player on the badminton team and is partnered with Toya.
