Synopsis:

The series follows Natsuza Yuzuki, a dedicated rugby player whose aspirations are derailed by a life-altering accident. Forced to transition from the field to the sidelines as team manager, Natsuza navigates the challenges of supporting his university team in the Kansai League. He works with a diverse group of players, including his steadfast friend and a spirited newcomer eager to prove himself.

The narrative explores themes of resilience and the complexities of teamwork, as Natsuza strives to guide his squad towards a championship victory. His efforts are complicated by the absence of a former star player, and he becomes driven to persuade this talented athlete to return to the sport. The anime presents a grounded portrayal of athletic ambition, interpersonal dynamics within a close-knit team, and the emotional toll of setbacks in pursuing one's passions.
