About this series
Full Drum (FULL DRUM) is a passionate high school sports manga created by Tohru Hakoishi, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump. The narrative centers on Harunari Hino, a high school freshman whose atrocious lack of motor skills has caused him to be kicked out of virtually every sports club.
Harunari's fate changes dramatically after meeting Ayako Noborito, the charismatic manager of the school rugby team. Smitten and eager to prove himself, Harunari joins the rugby squad, only to discover that while he cannot pass or catch properly, he possesses an intuitive talent for low tackles.
Tohru Hakoishi captures the raw physicality, strategic depth, and high-impact collision of rugby with thrilling artistic intensity. The series details how Harunari transforms his single specialization into a devastating defensive asset through relentless grit and practice.
Spanning five volumes, Full Drum blends fiery underdog enthusiasm with technical explanations of rugby rules and positions. It stands as a spirited tribute to high school athleticism, brotherhood, and the satisfaction of breaking through one's physical limits.
