Busou Chuugakusei: Basket Army focuses on Touko Natori, a middle school student at a defense academy undergoing rigorous field training.
As her training nears its end, an intriguing extracurricular activity is proposed by her instructor, Kamiya: Newest Weapons Research.
However, before this research can truly begin, a significant event throws Japan into turmoil, likely impacting Touko and her fellow students' lives and training.
The anime seemingly explores the juxtaposition of everyday middle school life with the serious implications of defense training, hinting at a story where the characters must grapple with an unexpected national crisis.
