Sakura and Elena were leading members of Sweet Diva, a popular idol group. one day, Elena was injured by Rio, a female wrestler, during a TV program recording. to avenge Elena, Sakura decided to enter the female wrestling matches even though she had no knowledge of wrestling whatsoever.
mainly because Sakura was the main character, she had the most character development as well as growth. she often thought of the future of Sweet Diva and put it before herself. the very reason she took up wrestling was also to restore Sweet Diva's honor originally. with completely no experience in wrestling, she had a hard time adapting. despite the seemingly painful experience, her growing strength was what made the series engaging as she vowed to become the strongest. while wrestling was rarely used in anime series, we were surprised to find it so captivating even when applied on girls. the intensity felt so real, and being a wrestling fan, we appreciated it a lot.
