Plot
The story follows the adventures of a somewhat dysfunctional ping-pong club where its players are more focused "on panties" and obscene jokes than on the game. The arrival of Kyōko Iwashita, the new manager of the club, makes it possible to change things, the latter somehow managing to interest his undisciplined players in ping-pong. A difficult mission as the temptations of the outside world are great for our protagonists.
