Salaryman's Club, also known as Ryman's Club, is a 2022 Japanese anime television series animated by Liden Films, directed by Aimi Yamauchi, and written by Aimi Yamauchi and Teruko Utsumi. The series follows Shiratori Mikoto, a former child prodigy and badminton player who uses his keen observation skills, after a traumatic incident at the Interhigh leaves him unable to play the way he wants and leads to him being cut from Mitsuboshi Bank's powerhouse amateur team.
