Plot

A tragic story happened with Yuzuki Natsusa half a year ago. On that terrible day, the guy was riding a motorcycle with a friend when they were hit by a car. The result was a severe injury to Natsusa, because of which he had to say goodbye to his favorite sport. And rugby for a guy is his whole life. A friend in an accident suffered less.

Since Yuzuki Natsusa could not act as a player in the team, the guy found another way – to become its manager. But it was not so simple. Before understanding the specifics of the new work, he had to face many difficulties: from global (misunderstanding with colleagues), to domestic (shaking sand from towels before washing).

Yes, others will treat the once brilliant player with compassion, but Yuzuki does not intend to give up. His fighting spirit, determination and rigidity will allow the team to conquer the heights. Difficult work lies ahead to achieve this. All the guys are different, problems can not be avoided. But they are ready to go this way together, no matter what it costs them…
