Plot

The series follows Getto Rando, who has been living in Canada and playing hockey there since he was ten. However, he also earned himself a very long suspension due to cheating and thus was more or less forced to return to Japan where he was recruited by Hamatsu High School in Kyushu, even though ice hockey is not popular in southern Japan and the school only has a roller hockey rink.

Genre Shift After Volume 4 the series changes in tone from a sports series about Hockey to a more gag oriented love comedy. The Characters previously important in the early volumes are excluded from the story.
