He who had always experienced a sense of failure in Judo, decides to join his childhood friend, Kazuma Hashimoto, in creating the unprecedented boys’ cheerleading team “BREAKERS”. Unique members were gathered including Mizoguchi who is argumentative, Ton who is a big eater, Gen and Ichirō who are frivolous Kansai people, and Shō who is a beautiful boy with cheerleading experience.
