Gonzo is producing the animation for it and the cast includes Shōgo Sakamoto as Riku Haruma and KENN as Akira Kariya.

Plot Concept: The series focuses on high school students Akira Kariya and Riku Haruma. One day, the new rugby club member Akira gets advice on running from Riku, who used to be absorbed in rugby but gave it up because he lacked the physique for the sport. Akira takes an interest in Riku, and Riku’s passion for rugby gradually returns. By joining forces, the pair can play a new tactical game and aim for the top of high school rugby.
