About this title

Synopsis

In middle school, Ichinose Kimitaka taught his friends how to play basketball. Despite his experience with the sport, his friends quickly outmatched him in skill. After an incident brought on by his frustration and jealousy, he was crushed to overhear those same 'friends' discussing how they wished he'd just kill himself. On his way to toss out his special basketball shoes, he met a girl who was just as frustrated, throwing her own dancing shoes away. She was so tall, and her hands and feet are so large, that she had been rejected from her chosen hobby of Spanish dancing. He urged her to give basketball a try, and the two exchanged their shoes instead of throwing them away. As he enters high school, Kimitaka learns that meeting him changed that girl's life for the better, and she is now a happy, social basketball player. Will Kimitaka be able to find the courage to make new friends and pursue his own talents? (Source: MangaHelpers)

    Kimitaka is a high school student with severe self esteem issues. He used to play basketball and even taught others, but didn't want to accept that he may be surpassed. After his jealousy results in another student ending up in the hospital, Kimitaka decides to keep away from other people, isolating himself and pushing away his well-meaning and concerned sister, Namari. Though he is glad that he managed to inspire Takara to come out of her shell and work hard, he still doesn't have the courage to face her. A few years after their first meeting, Kimitaka starts flamenco lessons using the shoes he'd gotten from Takara. No voice actors have been added to this character.
