Again Ippon! anime story synopsis

According to the manga’s comprehensive summary, the anime is set in a high school girls’ judo club in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Michi Sonoda will be the main character of the story. She decided to retire from the sport after winning her third year Judo competition.

She ended up fighting a very powerful opponent and she only lost by ‘Ippon’ or one point after the fight. Michi had passed out during her fight from the shime-waza strangulation method.

She was able to attend a high school of her choice a few months after she was defeated, and she ended up at Aoba West High. She expected to have a fantastic day at school, but instead found herself in a martial arts hall, where she was reunited with Towa Hiura, the girl she had lost to in her previous junior high tournament.

Towa had already chosen to join the judo club when they started sparring together. Michi, on the other hand, managed to get Towa off the ground.

Sanae Takigawa, watching in the background, finally asked Michi back to the judo club after seeing how energetic she was during her fight.
