During middle school, Ichinose Kimitaka taught his friends how to play basketball. Even with his experience in the sport, his friends quickly surpassed him in skill. Following an incident driven by his frustration and jealousy, he was devastated to overhear those same 'friends' discussing how they wished he would just kill himself. While heading out to discard his special basketball shoes, he encountered a girl who was equally frustrated, throwing away her own dancing shoes. She was so tall, with such large hands and feet, that she had been rejected from her chosen hobby of Spanish dancing. He encouraged her to try basketball, and the two exchanged their shoes rather than throwing them away. As he enters high school, Kimitaka discovers that meeting him improved that girl's life, 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?
