| 6 | The show follows a men's rhythmic gymnastics team at Shoushukan High School (also known as Ao High School) and begins when Shotarou Futaba, a middle schooler in his final year who has tried swimming, soccer, and baseball in the past, but never quite found his niche, sees the Shoushukan High School team perform at a tournament. The team places second-to-last due to penalties acquired from not fielding a full six-man roster, but Futaba is inspired nontheless and enrolls at the school and joins the team. |
