<Synopsis
The main character, Ryo Mizushima, enters junior high school and joins the badminton club on the spur of the moment. Despite the lack of proper coaching at the junior high school, Ryo's physical strength allows him to improve to the point where he is able to participate in the prefectural tournament. He is then approached by Mr. Ebihara, the famous coach of the badminton club at the prestigious Yokohama Minato High School. Ryo, indecisive and timid, hesitates to go to Yokohama Minato High School, but his older sister, Rika, a third-year student at Yokohama Minato High School with top grades, gives him a strong push and he decides to go.
The Yokohama Minato High School badminton club is full of unique classmates, including the invincible Higashiyama doubles, the cool and handsome Shanghai returnee Matsuda, and the powerful and mood-maker Sakaki.
In addition, one senior was that handsome ace of both the literary and military arts, Kento Yusa.
Blessed with a mentor and teammates in high school, Ryo gains experience that he has lacked up to now, and aims to win the Inter-High School Championship!


Comment from the original author, Ms. Mami Kosegi (original text)
I am Mami Kosegi, the original author of "Love All Play." About 10 years ago, I came across the profound and fascinating sport of badminton, and was fascinated by the people who sincerely devoted themselves to it, so I wrote a story about it. As an anime fan, I am extremely happy to have this good fortune, and I believe it will be a great motivation for my future works. I hope that the power of anime, a representative of Japanese culture, will increase the number of badminton fans not only in Japan but around the world.
Mami Kosegi
