Shūdan-teki: The Prodigies of the Forgotten Club
Title: Shūdan-teki: The Prodigies of the Forgotten Club
In the bustling heart of Tokyo, where modern districts clash with ancient traditions, stands a legendary school: Shūdan-teki. More than just an institution, it's a temple of sports, where every club is an elite arena and every student a potential future champion. From kendo to volleyball, tennis to sumo, each sport is played at the highest competitive level, and entry to the school is reserved for only the best: rigorous written exams followed by a merciless physical aptitude test.
But the arrival of Riccardo Yui Aliberti, a fifteen-year-old Italo-Japanese student, disrupts the balance. Having entered with a mysterious recommendation from the principal and skipping the athletic test, Riccardo is immediately met with suspicion and hostility. There's only one way to silence the critics: prove himself on the field.
The catch? Riccardo wants to join the soccer club—the only one considered a disgrace to the school—led by a coach feared and infamous for his harsh methods. For ten years, the team has failed to qualify for nationals, the sole blemish on Shūdan-teki's otherwise flawless record. But Riccardo has raw talent, grit, and a kind of determination that can’t be taught. Alongside overlooked yet gifted teammates, he begins the impossible climb to rewrite the club’s fate, the school’s legacy… and maybe even his own.
Amid fierce sports rivalries, deep friendships, budding love, and moments of personal growth, "Shūdan-teki" is a story of struggle, passion, and rebirth—where every sport matters and every character has a voice worth hearing.
Because at Shūdan-teki, every challenge is far more than just a game.
