Stars Align
On Bandai Channel, TBS
A tender, slice-of-life sports anime about junior high school friendships and the bittersweet urgency of a final season together, grounded in character bonds rather than competitive stakes.
Toma Shinjo has one mission: save his school’s tennis team. And his only hope rests on the talent of Maki Katsuragi, who’s reluctant to part from his studies. This will be the team’s last summer together unless they convince Maki to step on the court!
