Synopsis
Bamboo Blade centers around Kojirou, a financially struggling kendo instructor at Muroe High School.
He gets a proposition from his senpai: if his kendo team can beat his senpai's team in a match, Kojirou's team will receive free meals for a year.
The anime follows Kojirou's efforts to build a competitive kendo team from the ground up, seeking out talented (and preferably willing) female students to join.
The core of the story is about the challenges he faces in training these girls, the dynamics within the team, and the overarching goal of winning the crucial match against his senpai.
