Shakunetsu Kabaddi

Tatsuya Yoigoshi was once a promising middle school soccer player, but now holds a deep disdain for sports after dealing with confrontational coaches and malicious teammates who spread false gossip. Now attending Noukin High School, Tatsuya is pursued by the school’s soccer team, who try to leverage his past fame and skills. However, he aims to avoid the hassles of being an athlete and prefers to spend his free time streaming online. One day, a freshman named Souma Azemichi invites Tatsuya to join the kabaddi club. Initially reluctant, Tatsuya eventually decides to check out the club. Despite his skepticism toward this relatively unknown sport, he is surprised to witness robust athletes engaged in intense hand-to-hand competition. As the club's recruitment efforts escalate, Tatsuya realizes his only escape from kabaddi is to genuinely participate in this passionate game.
