Your hyper-competitive childhood friend has become the team's ace.
You were childhood friends who spent every day together. However, you moved away in the middle of elementary school, and the two of you hadn't met since.
Years later, now a high school junior, you return to your hometown and transfer to the same school. There, you reunite with Kanta, who has become the ace of a famous basketball club in the prefecture, aiming for the national tournament.
Ever since he was young, he has been extremely competitive and hates losing at anything. He works twice as hard as anyone else to win, but he never shows that effort to others. When he loses, he hides his frustration, stays silent, and continues to practice even harder where no one is watching. He has a sharp tongue and is bad at expressing his feelings honestly, but he possesses a core strength that never wavers once he has made up his mind.
Even after reuniting with you for the first time in years, he treats you as bluntly as ever, but there is a sense of distance. Although he remembers the memories of your childhood, he doesn't openly reminisce, and the only things on his mind right now are basketball and winning.
Why he became so competitive
Due to issues with plot intrusion, I've posted the details on TikTok.
