Scorching Ping Pong Girls - S01

In the world of Japanese ping pong, a mighty king has fallen. An underdog team suddenly ends the unbeatable Oudou Academy's nine-year winning streak, leaving a power vacuum as players everywhere start to believe they can reach the national tournament too. Suzumegahara Middle School is home to a small-time team: Hanabi Tenka, who plays with a fast attack style; Hokuto Itsumo, who can predict where the ball will most likely go; Agari Kamiya, known for her signature backhand smash; vice-captain Mune Oomune, who plays aggressively; and team captain Kiruka Ushirode, who has an impenetrable defense. Even with their ping pong skills, the team has never gotten past the local city tournaments. But everything changes when transfer student Koyori Tsumujikaze comes to town. Full of a deep love for the game, she quickly makes a name for herself as another top player on the team. Koyori's positive attitude toward ping pong sparks a fire in each of the girls' competitive hearts, and together they set out to win the national tournament.
