Ippon Again!

Sanae’s parents insist she focuses on her grades instead of judo. But if Sanae does that, not only will she give up her passion, but she’d be letting her friends down too.

The judo club has an advisor, and they are extremely worried about who it could be. And to make matters worse? Towa is about to run into someone she may wish she hadn’t.

The judo club takes part in their first qualifier, so it’s normal to feel the pressure. Sanae is such a bundle of nerves that it may affect her performance.

Michi and Ami find themselves evenly matched. And, as the seconds tick down, both girls grow more determined to score an ippon to win.

Nagumo is great at kendo. She loves the sport, but something’s missing.

The judo club plan to compete in the Kinshuki tournament, but a team of five is required and the club only has four members. Fortunately, Natsume has someone in mind.

The judo club is now five strong as they head to the Kinshuki. Michi becomes fast friends with a first year who is an opponent they’ll face in the first round!

Michi is in her element, and her power and speed transform her into a force to be reckoned with.

They made it to the second round, but the tournament only gets harder from here. Especially since their opponent is the prefectural singles runner-up.

Here comes a new challenger!

Hana Odagiri’s tenacity stops Aoba West’s momentum dead in its tracks. If they can’t take her down soon, they can kiss their tournament dreams goodbye.

This is it. The match that will decide everything, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
