Heart no Present

ILDA stands out as one of the most exceptional basketball players around, commanding such widespread admiration that he even has a dedicated cheering section rallying behind him. Tsubaki frequently catches herself staring at him while she practices her own shots on the court. Despite her quiet fascination with his talent, the reality of her situation is far less glamorous. Her own team struggles significantly, lacking the skill and cohesion needed to compete at a high level. The stakes for Tsubaki and her teammates have never been higher. They are facing an upcoming basketball game that will ultimately determine their future. If they cannot find a way to secure a victory in this crucial match, the consequences will be severe. The administration is prepared to cancel their team entirely should they fail to prove their worth on the court. With time running out, Tsubaki must shift her focus from admiring ILDA’s prowess to helping her struggling squad discover the strength they desperately need to survive.
