Synopsis
In a future Japan reshaped by technological advancements and virtual reality, Circlet Bout emerges as a popular nationwide sport. Utilizing Mixed Reality technology, the game incorporates players’ academic abilities and generates weapons for competitive matches.
Yuka Sasaki unexpectedly encounters Chikage Fujimura, the nation’s leading Circlet Bout competitor. Though inexperienced, Yuka performs admirably in their match, gaining mutual respect. Motivated by this, she transfers to a Tokyo school two years later with the ambition of becoming a CB player. Upon discovering the school's CB club has been disbanded, she endeavors to revive it alongside new companions.
Characters
- The main character who, after facing Chikage, resolves to become a CB player and restart the CB club at her new school. She wields a sword and can utilize the "Overheat Phenomenon" to execute rapid attacks while maintaining defense. She frequently adds Umeboshi or pickled plums to her meals.
- A sporty girl drawn to Yuka after watching her fight video. She had been attempting to restore the Union school's CB club and views Yuka as crucial to regaining its former prestige. Armed with a double-bladed shuriken, she previously competed as a track athlete but quit following an unfounded cheating accusation. She comes from an affluent family that owns a shoe store chain.
- Student council president at Union school and sister of renowned CB player Ayana Kuroda. Initially resistant to the club’s revival but consents after receiving a challenge from a rival school.
- A tech-savvy manager who supports Yuka and Miyuki in reestablishing the Union CB club. She wears a large white coat inherited from her father, a Circlet Bout technology developer who mysteriously vanished. Specializing in opponent analysis and strategy formulation, she seldom participates in matches; when she does, she employs a defensive riot shield equipped with built-in weaponry but lacks evasive training.
- A Russian exchange student at St. Union recruited by Miyuki as a substitute for the circlet club. Reserved and concise, she excels at online FPS sniping and uses a rifle for long-distance combat. Noted for her considerable appetite.
- Japan’s top CB competitor who was impressed by Yuka’s abilities during an exhibition match. Like Yuka, she can harness the "Overheat Phenomenon."
