Spring. The Hatase High school gymnasium. Table tennis club adviser Koizumi Jo notices a cut-man with glasses on the team.
He is one of the up-and-comers who joined the team this year, Tsukimoto Makoto (Smile).
Meanwhile, the other up-and-comer Hoshino Yutaka (Peco) is swindling a man at Obaba's Tamura Table Tennis Hall.
But the chopper has his hands full just returning the ball...
Pero el chopper está haciendo todo lo que puede para devolver la pelota.

para devolver a bola.
