Ryman's Club

Alternate Title

リーマンズクラブ

Synopsis

Mikoto Shiratori used to be a passionate and talented badminton player with a keen eye for observation, but due to a traumatic event during an inter-high tournament, he is unable to live up to his own expectations. After being fired from Mitsuhoshi Bank, where he played on the bank’s powerful badminton team, he makes a fresh start and joins Sunlight Beverage. But what awaits him is a job he’s totally unfamiliar with and a company team that has yet to win a game. On top of that, there’s Tatsuru Miyazumi, the loud, crass colleague he’s been paired up with. But from this duo that seems completely opposite in every way, the dream that they both had almost given up on begins to bloom again.
