Synopsis
The story
Due to the apparent incompetence of its members and lack of results, the boy's soft tennis team is on the verge of being shut down. Toma Shinjou, captain and seemingly only motivated member, seeks the help of newly transferred, and old friend, Maki Katsuragi to improve the club's track record but soon it becomes apparent that what is holding the boys back are problems that run far deeper than the simple sport.

A review of the 2019 tv-series Hoshiai no Sora and on its exploration of escapism and abuse
@Protogeist9/17 helpful
Despite being dense with ideas and strong characterization, Hoshiai is hurt by a rushed, damaging "conclusion"
@wheatsquares3328/51 helpful
A sports drama with a different and more realistic light on what some people's lives might be like.
