Anime Hajime Review: Ro-Kyu-Bu

***Warning, the following may contain spoilers for Ro-Kyu-Bu. Reader discretion is advised.***

Series Synopsis


Subaru Hasegawa (voiced by Yuki Kaji) is a basketball ace. Due to circumstances though, he is unable to play the sport he loves dear. The fallout of which has left him lost and passionless.

To help him out of his slump, Subaru’s aunt, Mihoshi Takamura (voiced by Shizuka Ito), makes him an offer. He only needs to coach the Keishin Academy’s Girls’ Basketball team for three days. Hesitant, Subaru agrees, assuming nothing would come out of it.

On his fist day, he meets an earnest, but otherwise rusty group of players. Of the five members, four need a ton of work. These are Maho Misawa (voiced by Yuka Iguchi), Saki Nagatsuka (voiced by Yoko Hikasa), Airi Kashii (voiced by Rina Hidaka), and Hinata Hakamada (voiced by Yui Ogura). They lack the practice, but none of them lack the drive.

The fifth girl, however, catches Subaru’s eye. Tomoka Minato (voiced by Kana Hanazawa) is a prodigy and has a deep-rooted love affection for the sport. In many ways, she is how Subaru once was.

The original deal may have been three days, but the girls grow on Subaru. He sees greatness within them. With a little effort, this team could be a force to be reckoned with.
