Synopsis
Natsuza Yuzuki has played rugby as a left-winger since childhood, rapidly emerging as a standout player in the Kansai University League after entering Doushisha University. However, his athletic career is derailed by a severe motorcycle accident that results in a spinal hernia, rendering him unable to continue playing. With no other options, he assumes the role of manager, dedicating himself to helping his team secure a league championship. The squad he oversees is a peculiar mix of personalities, including his calm best friend and full-back Seiichirou Jingyouji, the volatile first-year Yasunari Tsuru—who resents Natsuza for taking his former left-winger spot—and Yuu Mashiro, who struggles to establish himself as a scrum half. Although Natsuza throws himself into coaching, the team still feels lacking. He becomes determined to recruit Ibuki Ueka, the genius fly-half and former ace who abruptly quit rugby a year prior.
