A rookie reporter at a publishing company is selected for an unusual assignment: cover the New-Generation Players Grand Prix, in which thirty U-17 Japanese tennis representative candidates compete over seven days for the top ranking, with the final number-one spot chosen by reader votes on her articles.

By the final day, something more than journalism has developed.
