Story
In a world where flying through the sky is as easy as riding a bike, the sport of "Flying Circus" is all the rage. After the discovery of anti-graviton shoes, special shoes that allow you to fly, they took the world by storm. The anti-gravity shoes opened up a whole new world for people to explore. A short time later, this technological revolution gave birth to a brand new sport, the Flying Circus, in which the shoes were used to allow players to compete against each other in the open air. Masaya Hinata, once considered a child prodigy, turned his back on the Flying Circus after a crushing defeat, although there was another reason... But his former passion is rekindled when he teaches new exchange student Asuka Kurashina how to fly. This time, Masaya decides to enter the world of the Flying Circus not as a player, but as a trainer. Sometimes fighting, sometimes cheering each other on, he and his team decide to challenge the best student-athletes in Japan. How high will he be able to fly now with Asuka by his side? This is a love story about those who met through the sky and the friends who surround them.
