About Baby Steps
Baby Steps follows honor student Eiichiro Maruo, who joins the Southern Tennis Club for exercise and turns his study methods on the sport. Adapted by Pierrot from Hikaru Katsuki's manga, the first season ran 25 episodes from April 2014 on NHK-E.
The second season ran 25 more from April 2015 through Maruo's Kanagawa qualifiers and beyond. The manga finished in 2017 with no third season announced. Matches and training chain directly across all 50 episodes, so watch both seasons in order. The show's realistic tennis rewards patience: points build like actual rallies.
Good to know
Release order is story order. Maruo climbs from beginner drills to national-level qualifiers in a straight line, with no flashback structure to reorder. The anime stops partway through the manga, so readers continuing afterward start around volume 20. Both seasons stream as one 50-episode run in some listings, which matches this order exactly.
