Baby Steps
Even though Eiichirō Maruo, also called Ei-chan by his friends, is known for his meticulous notes and top-of-the-class grades, there has always been something missing from his life: passion. He studies hard and gets the grades because of expectations, not because it is what he wants to do.
That all changes when he finds a flyer for free Tennis lessons at the local club. While he isn’t even good enough to match up with the elementary school kids at first, it isn’t long before his sharp eyes and note-taking abilities put him on par with the best of the best.
He quickly learns everything he can about tennis, aiming to go pro after two years of intense physical and mental training.
The last we saw from the anime, Ei-chan was training for the most important match of his young career.
Since Season 2 ended back in 2015, though, the studio behind Baby Steps, Pierrot studio, has remained silent, leaving us with only what could be of Maruo’s limitless tennis potential.
