Azusuma is a very serious character, and I think he is a person who is sincere about badminton and other people. I felt his kindness and love for badminton when he invited Takeru to play badminton. I hope I can express his feelings for Takeru and convey the fun of badminton through this work.

<Introduction
Takeru Shiratori was a badminton player with a genius observational mind.

However, due to the trauma of the inter-high school tournament, he has not been able to play as well as he would like.
Takeru was fired from Mitsuhoshi Bank, a powerful team to which he belonged as an adult player.

What awaits him when he joins Sunlight Beverage to make a comeback as a player?
He is not accustomed to working as a company employee, and the weak badminton club has not been able to produce any results....
On top of all that, he is a crass, loud, and obnoxiously distant old man... Ken Miyazumi.

A former genius newcomer to the workforce and a dynamic old man named "Badly Man".
When the duo, who are complete opposites in every way, are born, a dream they had almost given up on opens up once again.
