Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue

Synopsis

In an archipelago of four islands located south of Japan, the creation of anti-gravity footwear called Grav-Shoes has transformed everyday life and given rise to a new sport named "Flying Circus." Participants earn points by making contact with floating buoys or their opponents' backs while airborne. Asuka Kurashina, a naive and clumsy transfer student at Kunahama High School, unintentionally pulls off a difficult maneuver in her first Flying Circus match, which prompts her to join the school's Flying Circus club. Under the guidance of coach Masaya Hinata, Asuka practices alongside Misaki Tobisawa, a skilled player, and Misaki's excessively protective friend, Mashiro Arisaka. The story Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm follows this inexperienced team's path as they soar through the skies, chasing their dreams with unwavering passion in spite of the obstacles that lie ahead.
