Baby Steps

Synopsis

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.
