Buddy!!! - Buddy x Body Manhua

In the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, a tall and determined young man named Ryudo Kagetora strode confidently into Seirin High School, his eyes set on a singular goal - to breathe new life into the school's floundering basketball team and lead them to glory. With his towering height and unparalleled passion for the game, Ryudo had but one desire - to become the undisputed champion of Japanese basketball. However, there was a deep-seated animosity within Ryudo, one that simmered just beneath the surface - a burning disdain for the opposite sex, stemming from a bitter defeat at the hands of a girl during a pivotal grade school match. Since that fateful day, Ryudo harbored a misguided belief that girls had no place on the court and were nothing but a hindrance to the game he loved. Fate, however, had other plans in store for Ryudo, as he soon stumbled upon Ichinomiya Chiaki, a talented basketball player harboring a closely guarded secret. Despite her undeniable skill, Chiaki had been cruelly isolated from the women's team when it was revealed that she underwent a startling transformation into a man whenever she played basketball. As Ryudo unraveled Chiaki's hidden truth, he found himself thrust into a whirlwind of conflicting emotions - torn between his ingrained prejudices and the blossoming sense of camaraderie that sprouted between them. Reluctantly accepting Chiaki as both a teammate and roommate, Ryudo embarked on an unexpected journey of introspection and self-discovery, challenging his preconceived notions and learning to embrace the diversity that Chiaki brought to the team. Together, through the highs and lows of high school basketball, Ryudo and Chiaki would confront their innermost fears and uncertainties, forging an unbreakable bond founded on mutual respect and understanding. As they navigated the tumultuous waters of competition and personal growth, they discovered that true strength lay not in physical prowess alone, but in the power of acceptance, friendship, and the unwavering belief that unity transcends gender and defies convention.
