Synopsis:

Riku Haruma begins high school adrift, lacking direction until witnessing the intense dedication of classmates practicing rugby. Drawn to Akira Kariya's determined efforts on the field – a stark contrast to his own past abandonment of the sport due to physical limitations – Riku impulsively offers a piece of unsolicited advice. This seemingly small act unexpectedly reignites Riku’s dormant passion for rugby, prompting him to confront his self-doubt and consider a path forward he hadn't envisioned. The series explores themes of rediscovering purpose, the power of encouragement, and finding potential in unexpected places within a realistic high school setting. It centers on personal growth fueled by a renewed commitment to a demanding physical pursuit.
