Synopsis

Ryouma Echizen and his Seishun Academy tennis team get invited to play an exhibition match on a luxury cruise ship owned by some guy named Hikomaro Sakurafubuki. But when they show up, Ryouma's shocked to find out his adoptive older brother Ryouga is captaining the other team. Their first matches go smoothly—maybe too smoothly. Seishun demolishes the competition while the spectators go wild. But something feels off. The sushi is suspiciously cheap, the bathrooms are weirdly fancy with marble wallpaper, and nothing quite adds up. Turns out Sakurafubuki's running an illegal gambling ring. He wanted their opponents to throw the first matches so people would bet big on Seishun, then he'd force the team to lose the next round and clean up. When the guys refuse to cooperate, things get serious—everyone on the ship, including Ryouga, is armed and ready to enforce it. They're basically trapped. With nowhere to run, Seishun has to use their wits and tennis skills to survive. The team figures out they'll have to outsmart their way out of this, which means Ryouma and Ryouga finally have to face off and settle which one of them is actually the better player.
