Hanebado!

Synopsis

Following a crushing 21-0 loss at the National Junior Badminton Championship, Nagisa Aragaki's love for badminton takes a dark turn. Consumed by the shame of defeat, Nagisa starts tormenting her high school badminton teammates through brutal training regimens, pushing some to tears and causing others to leave the team. As the club dwindles with no new members daring to join, the future of the team appears grim. However, everything changes with the arrival of Kentarou Tachibana, the new coach and an Olympic-caliber player. Alongside him comes Ayano Hanesaki, the player who beat Nagisa six months prior. Surprisingly, Ayano is no longer the formidable opponent Nagisa once knew; she now wishes to distance herself from badminton altogether. To secure her own athletic aspirations, Nagisa must overcome her fear of failure, help heal Ayano's fractured spirit, and guide Kitakomachi High School's badminton club toward triumph.
