Shiba Inu high school senior who, though stuck in a years-long rut of listlessness and lack of motivation, remains the male star of his school's tennis team and a very promising candidate for high-level professional play. However, when he is forced to confront just how much his grades and tennis skills have stagnated—or even deteriorated—over the past few years, he also realizes that, unlike those areas of his life, his relationships have steadily deepened and grown stronger. Encouraged by the support and belief of the people around him, he struggles to rediscover his A-game and finally live up to his potential during the last year of his high school career.

In spite of his cold-blooded and controlling family and contrary to his preordained career path in business, his true ambition is to play tennis professionally.

Siberian Husky high school senior and Yuuichi's childhood best friend. He is not only the star of the school volleyball team but also one of the best setters in Japan; moreover, he is the student council president, president of his class, and an exemplary student. He wants nothing more than to play volleyball professionally — a dream obstructed only by his being pragmatic to a fault, as well as his complicated relationships with his family.
