Ippon again!

Michi may be in high spirits, but Sanae knows her friend; she can sense that something’s bothering her.

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.
