Misora can't jump anymore, so instead of leaving, she builds something that doesn't need her body to work. The PoMPoMs become real by accident, through five girls figuring out that cheerleading isn't about the athletes on the field, it's about the people in the stands who stopped believing they mattered. By the time you realize this show is about trauma and rebuilding, it's already changed what you think support actually means.
Misora arrives at Takanosaki High School carrying the weight of a past mistake. Once a national champion cheerleader in middle school, a devastating competition failure left her unable to jump, and she struggles to find her place on the squad. Everything shifts when she connects with four other first-years: Suzuha, Shion, Anna, and Nodoka. Together, they form PoMPoMs, a cheerleading unit determined to prove that their sport transcends routine technique and flashy stunts. Their real power lies in genuine connection, in channeling authentic emotion toward the athletes and students they support. As Misora rediscovers her confidence through friendship and shared purpose, the team discovers something larger about themselves. What begins as recovery from trauma becomes a journey about lifting others up, finding your voice, and understanding that sometimes the greatest performances happen offstage. PoMPoMs learns that cheerleading is less about perfection and more about believing in the people around you.
