Aspiring pop idol Sakura Hagiwara has always had a passion for singing and dancing, but when her group's manager dumps them in favor of a more successful group, Sakura is left feeling defeated. However, when she goes to watch a pro-wrestling match with her fellow idol group members, Sakura finds herself intrigued by the power and athleticism of the wrestlers. Inspired by the strength and determination of one wrestler in particular, Rio Kazama, Sakura decides to train in the sport in order to become a stronger performer and person. Despite her lack of experience and fragile appearance, Sakura is determined to become a pro-wrestler and follows Rio to her gym, where she meets the tough but caring trainer, Jackal Tojo. With the help of Jackal and Rio, Sakura begins her intense training and learns the true meaning of strength, both physical and mental. Meanwhile, Sakura's fellow group members are skeptical of her new passion and doubt her ability to succeed in such a demanding sport. Can Sakura prove them wrong and become the strong and confident wrestler she aspires to be?
