Shunrai Table Tennis

Mirai Todoroki begins her first year at Arashino Girls' High School small in stature yet boundlessly devoted to table tennis. Though her frame is unassuming, her past speaks for itself: she once possessed skill enough to compete on the national stage, a talent that set her apart as a rising player in the sport she loves. But a single match changed everything. Pitted against an opponent whose ability towered far beyond her own during her middle school years, Mirai suffered a crushing defeat that left deep scars. The weight of that loss drove her to abandon the sport altogether, and she has carried the quiet heartbreak of walking away ever since, torn between the game she once cherished and the pain it now represents. Her story takes a decisive turn when Oka Harusaki, a transfer student, arrives and joins the table tennis club—an encounter poised to stir the embers of a passion Mirai believed she had extinguished for good.
