In "After That," the students of Muroe High School are still on cloud nine after their recent victory over the formidable Kojirou Katori and his team. The club members can hardly contain their excitement as they revel in their achievement, savoring the taste of triumph. The victory has not only brought them closer as a team, but it has also bred a newfound confidence within each member.

However, their joy is short-lived as the reality of their situation finally catches up with them. The Kendo Club's winning streak has attracted unwanted attention, both from rival schools and from their own school administration. The pressure is mounting, and expectations for future victories are sky-high. With the looming threat of disbandment hanging over their heads, the club needs to prove that their recent success was not just a fluke.

In "After This," the members of the Muroe High School Kendo Club are determined to keep their club alive. To do so, they embark on a rigorous training regimen in preparation for upcoming competitions. Each member diligently hones their skills and strives to become stronger individually and as a team. They are guided by their passionate and dedicated coach, Toraji Ishida, who relentlessly pushes them to reach new heights.

As they delve into their training, the club members discover that victory is not the only measure of success. They begin to appreciate the essence of Kendo itself - the discipline, the respect, and the personal growth that it nurtures. With each passing day, their love for the sport deepens, and they realize that their journey is about more than just winning matches.

Alongside their training, the club also faces various personal challenges. Tamaki Kawazoe, the talented but shy member of the club, continues to grapple with her wavering self-confidence. She seeks solace and guidance from her mentor, the enigmatic Noriko Miyazaki, who helps her find her inner strength. Meanwhile, the mischievous Kirino Chiba, infused with her characteristic energy, brings her unique flare to the team dynamic.
