Synopsis
College gymnast Minoru joins karate after bullying, discovering self-growth through martial arts and complex relationships.
Kohinata Minoru is a college student at a university renowned for its athletic programs rather than academic achievements. Initially joining as a gymnast alongside his friend Nana, Minoru faces challenges from senior members of the gymnastics team. His life takes an unexpected turn when Mutou Ryuuji, a karate student at the college, witnesses Minoru's situation and extends an unusual proposition. Drawn into the world of martial arts, Minoru begins a journey of self-discovery, forming new bonds with fellow students while uncovering the complex histories and motivations that drive those around him. As he navigates this new path, Minoru finds himself growing both as a fighter and as a person, learning that the world of competitive karate holds as many personal challenges as physical ones.
