Eitiro Maruo from the anime series “Step by Step” (Baby Steps) is an example of a real “bookworm”, a typical “nerd”, for whom study, logic and common sense are in the first and subsequent places. However, recently, tennis took a separate place in his life - the young man decided that without a good athletic form, a real man can not, and therefore signed up for a sports club. The lack of any skills in this game of the hero of the anime “Step by Step” was not confused. Accustomed to calculating and analyzing everything, Eichiro began to closely observe the players, draw conclusions and draw rules of his own tactics and strategy. The presence of the charming Natsu Takasaki in the club also has a positive effect on Eichiro - this cheerful girl, a big fan of the game, became an additional incentive to the guy as quickly as possible to learn to play tennis. So, step by step, it is quite possible that soon he will reach some heights. Even if he doesn't get to Wimbledon, the path to Natsu's heart is quite possible!
