Shakunetsu Kabaddi

When former soccer prodigy Tatsuya Yoigoshi abandons the sport in his first year of high school, he’s convinced his days of competitive athletics are over. Content to coast by as an aloof, live-streaming loner, his world is upended when he’s strong-armed into observing a practice for the school’s rather obscure kabaddi club. What he sees there defies all his expectations. Far from the slow-paced game he imagined, kabaddi is a full-contact sport demanding explosive speed, strategic thinking, and intense physical prowess. Faced with a roster of eccentric and unexpectedly formidable teammates, Tatsuya finds himself drawn back into the thrill of competition, discovering a fierce new passion and a sense of belonging he never anticipated.
