Summary

Meisho Doto is desperate for some good fortune in the coming year, and Matikanefukukitaru has divined the perfect solution—the National Umamusume Karuta Championship. Though rooted in genteel tradition, the sport is no less intense than a race—as Doto and her ragtag team soon find out. Nevertheless, difficult times often make for deeper friendships.
