    Synopsis:

    The series follows Haruki Bandou, a university student seeking respite from his family's judo dojo and a past athletic commitment. His plans for a peaceful academic life are disrupted when his close friend, Kazuma Hashimoto, proposes an unconventional endeavor: establishing an all-male cheerleading team at their university. Initially hesitant and grappling with personal insecurities, Haruki finds himself drawn into the ambitious project, assisting Kazuma in navigating the challenges of creating a new sporting culture.

    The anime explores themes of self-discovery, challenging societal expectations surrounding gender and athleticism, and the power of camaraderie. Set against the backdrop of university life, it portrays the team's journey as they overcome prejudice, physical limitations, and internal doubts to forge their own path and redefine what it means to be a cheerleading team. The narrative emphasizes perseverance and the unexpected joys found in pursuing unconventional passions.
