    I loved it ! Highly recommend

    I thought it was a sport average anime. But turned out a really nice story , and especially the characters amd their story ????Each one of them?!!? I love it !

    And the two last minutes took my breath away

    Highly recommend!

    A tale of Grit and Passion

    You might say "Another sports anime? come on". You are wrong, even unlike Haikyuu this anime takes on more Slice of Life approach and kids with some serious heavy baggage they carry. Just like any person on earth has problem, these kids have too and not many, almost 99% of the anime have overlooked this part of the characters life. But not this anime. So far not many episodes have been released, so this anime might become and discard the only beautiful and unique thing it has, Slice Of Life! But let's hope this anime meets the expectations it has created in the first 5 episodes.

    all in all, this is a very unique sports anime and has a good style so far.

    Really deserving of support

    So, this is a sweet friendship anime about tennis, yes. However it is far more than that too and does not shy away from serious topics. I really recommend this show, it is very very good, and talks about some very real issues that need to be discussed. It isn't afraid to do this realistically and therefore many issues dont just get wrapped up happily, this in my opinion makes it a very real show. I truly believe this show is a gem, it made me so happy and yet was able to break my heart in other scenes.

    One thing to note about lower reviews on some sites, This anime was cut down from 12 episodes to 24 too late to change the plot, this is only the first half and sadly a lot of reviews on sites don't realise this and are judging It without this in mind, as some issues are left unresolved because there is supposed to be another 12 episodes which the director intends to make. If you watch it and like it I recommend showing support if you can .

    Unique and realistic!

    The anime isn't really your typical sports anime, to put it shortly it's like Magical Madoka. There are several incidents that are touched upon and are very well written in. Your characters seem almost dislikable at the start however they grow and mature which you dont see in most anime . I highly recommend this as it shows how something as simple as soft tennis (unofficial tennis) is an escape for people who have very bad problems at home and their team mates help them cope with their issues in a healthier way.

    I came for the tennis and ended up crying

    I thought this was gonna be like a new generation of Prince of Tennis, I was wrong. It's about a friendship that resulted in a very good teamwork but it's also about the issues in families and teenagers today and I like the fact that they focus on the boys cause it's hard for boys to talk about their feelings. I really do hope this doesn't end badly
