Shakunetsu Kabaddi

Former middle school soccer star Tatsuya Yoigoshi hates sports. From short-tempered coaches to jealous teammates who would spread wild rumors, they all have gradually warped his outlook on sports clubs. Now enrolled in Noukin High School, Yoigoshi is sought after by the school's soccer team due to his popularity and proven skills. However, as Yoigoshi seeks to avoid the troublesome life of an athlete, he decides to spend his time after school as a livestreamer instead.

One day, a first-year student named Souma Azemichi tries to recruit Yoigoshi into the kabaddi team. Initially reluctant, Yoigoshi eventually agrees to check out the club. Having low expectations for the obscure sport, Yoigoshi is surprised to see muscular men fighting empty-handed in intense battles. As the attempt to recruit him suddenly escalates, Yoigoshi's only way to escape the kabaddi club is to give the passionate sport a try.

Shakunetsu Kabaddi was a winner of the 70th Shogakukan Manga Award in 2024.
