Cross Manage

Sakurai has little interest in working hard, pursuing passions, or joining a school sports team. After accidentally walking in on his classmate Toyoguchi in the locker room, he agrees to manage the girls’ lacrosse team in exchange for keeping the incident secret. Toyoguchi’s enthusiasm for lacrosse helped her create the team, and Sakurai reluctantly takes on the manager role. As he gets to know her and learns more about the sport, he begins to enjoy it. The once-lazy Sakurai, who feared failure, gradually learns to make an effort and commit himself to something worthwhile.
