Baby Steps 2nd Season

Synopsis

Continues the story of Baby Steps

In "Baby Steps," Eiichirou Maruo, a diligent and detail-oriented honor student, decides to add more physical activity to his packed schedule for health reasons. He joins the Southern Tennis Club at the start of high school after spotting a flyer. At his first practice, Eiichirou meets Natsu Takasaki, a fellow freshman who is passionate about tennis and aims to become a professional player. Unlike Natsu, Eiichirou's life centers on academics, a path he follows out of duty rather than interest. However, his daily routines start to change as he gets more involved in tennis and finds himself increasingly captivated by the sport. "Baby Steps" follows the journey of a young man who channels his hard work and quest for perfection into developing a unique tennis style. As his skills improve, Eiichirou strives to reach the level of the top players in the tennis world.

In this installment

In the second season of Baby Steps, Eiichirou Maruo sets his sights on becoming a professional tennis player, but only if he can secure his parents' approval. They agree to reconsider if he wins the All-Japan Junior Tennis Tournament; otherwise, he must abandon his dream. To stand a chance against Japan's top players, Eiichirou knows he must dramatically elevate his game. His coach, Ryuuhei Aoi, suggests he train at the Florida Tennis Academy. This season unfolds in the United States, where Eiichirou takes part in a two-week intensive training program, his first taste of international tennis. Driven by the excitement of this rare opportunity, he is determined that his relentless effort will open the door to a professional tennis career.
