Synopsis

‘Hakkiyoi!’

The fierce battle of these men chasing after Yokozuna begins.

Three Episode Impression

Hinomaru Zumou is about a small boy named Ushio who is really into Sumo wrestling. When he shows up at his desired high school, it turns out that he’s at the wrong one! This school has a sumo club too, but it’s been taken over by delinquents save for one surviving member named Shinya. Ushio wants to see these delinquents and challenges them to a duel. If he wins, they leave the gym and he gets to use it with Shinya. Ushio REALLY loves Sumo and has been training for years, so yes, he does win. He can really take punches too. Ushio ends up taking out the leader Yuuma, but then Yuuma wants to be stronger and joins. Before we realize it, members have joined, they have a full team, a manager, and are starting to spar with other schools. This is their journey together.

Honestly, this anime is really fun. It’s reminiscent of ALL OUT!!, but this time is that Ushio will not have to spend the whole series training. It’s shounen but what is really cool is that while Ushio is similar to say, Asta from Black Clover, he’s overall enjoyable, has worked very, very hard to train, and he’s also unique on his own. Fujoshi/fudanshi will love this because it’s thigh city with so much muscle and thiccness to go around, you might just pass out from the passion. We will DEFINITELY stay on this show and cannot wait to see the growth of Ushio. The high school of delinquents has now become the high school of sumo.
