It's one of two light novels published by ACS' Yakeru Bunko imprint (the other being NakaGei)

The novel focuses on Yukihiko Shirogane, a senior high school student and badminton ace, who must find himself a successor before he graduates. Something that he found in young Kanata Kitazawa.

The the thing that makes Smash Dream unique from other sports LNs/manga/anime was that the main focus is not on the rookie, but on the senior. There are certain episodes that focus on Kanata, but half the time, Yukihiko has the spotlight.
