Synopsis
Haruki Bandou, a timid first-year university student, is relieved to abandon judo after a shoulder injury, even though his family runs a dojo and he never found joy in the martial art. His best friend, Kazuma Hashimoto, unexpectedly decides to quit the university judo club alongside him. Instead of resting, Kazuma proposes a radical new venture: an all-male cheerleading squad. Though hesitant, Haruki assists his friend in establishing the group. With unwavering resolve and the backing of their new members, Haruki and Kazuma establish the Breakers, Meishiin University’s inaugural all-male cheerleading team. They strive to make history despite the sport’s feminine reputation, as well as the physical obstacles, societal prejudices, and internal doubts they face.
