PLOT
Yawara Inokuma, a high school student, leads a fully content and routine life. She hopes to lead a typical life as a kind young woman with a good-looking boyfriend soon. Yawara is unfortunate to possess an unwelcome extraordinary aptitude in Judo, a contemporary combat technique that is neither feminine nor stylish. Furthermore, Jigorou Inokuma, a seventh-dan Judo instructor, anticipates Yawara to become a Japanese Judoka celebrity of the 1990s because she is his only grandchild. Yawara carefully conceals her strength from everyone in order to preserve a respectable reputation, but she frequently finds herself in precarious situations when she must use her Judo talents. Kousaku Matsuda, a sports writer for a low-quality publication, has been quietly observing Yawara's enormous potential and is prepared to do whatever it takes to put her in the spotlight.
