Shojo FIGHT! lives up to its name. Neri and her friends fight for love, victory, and freedom—on and off court. They take on each other and their senpai in intra-squat games, but they also go head-to-head with a dangerous organization, all the while navigating through the turbulent currents of adolescent life and love.
