After losing her final match in middle school and with nothing to show for her three years of effort, Michi Sonoda decides to retire from judo. She enters Aobanishi High School with Sanae Takigawa, her middle school teammate and best friend, hoping to live a normal and fulfilling high school life and find a boyfriend. However in the school's dojo, she finds that Towa Hiura, the girl who beat Michi in her final match, has also entered Aobanishi. Michi's passion for judo is soon reignited and the three girls decide to revive Aobanishi's dormant judo club.With their P.E. teacher, Shino Natsume, as their advisor and bolstered by the transfer of Anna Nagumo, Michi's childhood friend, from the kendo club, the girls set out to make a name for themselves. Along the way they'll make new friends, meet new rivals, and always strive to try their hardest with a positive attitude because after all, judo is awesome."Ippon" Again! (Mou Ippon!) is a shonen series by Yuu Muraoka, running in Weekly Shonen Champion from 2018-2023 before being transferred to Akita Shoten's Manga Cross digital service.

Red Herring Shirt | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_118948dd | comment |
Red Herring Shirt: In the fourth round of the second year Kinshuki, Aobanishi goes up against Kamokita High School out of Hiroshima. They're a random school and beating them would mean Aobanishi meets Kasumigaoka in the quarterfinals, leading to a potential third and final match between Towa and Erika. Kamokita gets quite a bit of characterization, then ends up winning the match, eliminating Aobanishi and achieving their goal of making top 8 in the final tournament for their school's judo club. | |

Boisterous Bruiser: Sachi from Hakata Minami is tall, strong, and nearly as genki as Michi. Tachikawa's Emma Durand as well. Unsurprisingly, they're both among Michi's closest friends outside of Aobanishi. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Takanashi is initially fairly arrogant and dismissive of Michi in their first match. After losing to her in a second match, however, Takanashi's attitude does a complete 180 and she becomes one of Michi's closest non-Aobanishi friends and her most enthusiastic supporter. | |

Always Someone Better | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Kozue always felt overwhelmed by, and stuck in the shadow of, her older sister Tsumugi as Tsumugi is a pretty and popular extrovert while Kozue is a sullen introvert. She originally took up judo hoping to have something she could feel she was better at than her sister. She finally accomplishes this in the third year Kinshuki when, as Aobanishi's vanguard and with Tsumugi watching in the stands, she singlehandedly eliminates their first round opponent. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen: In her initial appearances Amane is quite cold but after her match with Towa and getting to know the Aobanishi girls she warms up a lot. Although her attitude was affected by the fact she tends to be way grumpier when trying to make weight. | |

The Dreaded: Ryou Takanashi is a Played for Laughs example for Kozue. Having lost to her in seconds at a previous tournament, and watching her defeat Michi in Aobanishi's first meeting with Toutaidai Sakae in the team tournament, the next day she finds out she'll be facing Ryou in the individual competition. At first she's so petrified that she runs away for ten seconds, before the referee brings a halt to it and issues her a penalty. | |

Insufferable Genius: Nagumo frequently calls herself a genius and in general holds a high opinion of herself. And the worst part? Due to how quickly she learns judo, her great athletic skill, and her academic success she's entirely justified. | |

Magikarp Power | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: Prevalent throughout the series. A judoka or team that's introduced as weak can always grow in strength. Although a few examples stand out. Kasumigaoka's Mitsumi Jinno goes from being unable to do much in her first year to an ace level talent able to go toe to toe with Emma, the strongest judoka in the series. Sanae, likewise, was Aobanishi's weakest member in first year but slowly gets stronger and more confident which culminates in the third year Kinshuki where she sends Aobanishi to the quarterfinals by scoring an ippon against Tsubasa Hibari, the ace of one of the strongest schools in the series and a national champion with victories over Towa. Aobanishi as a whole. At the start of the series it's simply three girls reviving a dead club and few teams take them seriously. By the time the series hits third year they're one of the strongest schools in Saitama, a prefecture which already houses a lot of strong schools. | |

Funny Foreigner: Emma Durand, a French exchange student attending Tachikawa, is a downplayed example. It's mentioned at times that her Japanese can be odd but her goofiness is due more to her naturally upbeat personality. She is also, hands down, the strongest judoka in the series. | |

The Eeyore: Kozue is a moody and gloomy introvert who doesn't deal well with extroverted types and tends to easily, and vocally, fall into negative thinking. It's made worse by the fact her sister is outgoing, pretty, and popular. Her attempts at breaking out of her shell and trying to get past her gloominess (at least a little bit) are a major story focus of second year. | |

Hero of Another Story: Aobanishi is the central focus of the series but it's made clear that the other important schools (and even not so important) have their own stories going on as well and occasionally they'll get some spotlight to develop them as well. Even the kendo club, who share the school's dojo with the judo club, have their own story running largely in the background. | |

Game-Breaking Injury | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_6381b11 | comment |
Game-Breaking Injury: As she wants her students to get the most out of their three years, Natsume is very insistent on trying to prevent these due to an incident involving a friend back when she was in high school. It's the main reason she keeps Nagumo sidelined during the Kinshuki as she'd only started practicing judo a few weeks before the tournament. More than one judoka is forced to miss a tournament due to injury: notably Midoriko sitting out the second year Rookie Tournament due to a foot injury and both Michi and Odagiri missing the second year Kinshuki because of arm injuries. | |

Passionate Sports Girl: Arguably most characters fall into this by default but Erika Amane, Kasumigaoka's ace, is probably the biggest example of this as judo is more or less her entire life. So much so that Michi eventually nicknames her the Judo Machine. | |

Stern Teacher | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_77d826c7 | comment |
Stern Teacher: Rinka Inui, Tachikawa's coach, is noted as being stern, quick to scold, and runs an absolutely hellish summer training camp that causes most first year students to drop out. The end result, though, is that her team is the strongest in the country and the girls that do make it through hold her in high regard. That said, outside of the dojo she has a generally nice disposition and clearly holds high levels of affection and respect both for her own students and Aobanishi's. That's to say nothing of her fangirl crush on Natsume, her senpai from high school. Gondou, another P.E. teacher at Aobanishi, is a more straight example. | |

Passing the Torch: The reins of each generation of the clubs are passed onto the next once the third years have to retire with the outgoing captain selecting the new one. | |

Tsundere: Midoriko takes quite a while to admit it but she likes and respects Michi a lot and really wants the chance to have a proper match with her. They finally get their chance during the third year Inter-High preliminaries. Their record ends up tied with Michi winning their match during the team tournament while Midoriko is victorious in the finals of the 48kg tournament. | |

| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_805deb6e | comment |
Small Role, Big Impact: Due to being a third year, Himeno is only around for a single tournament before she has to retire. The rest of the club continues to revere her long afterwards and her younger sister joins the team at the start of second year. | |

Badass Boast: After Aobanishi is eliminated from the first year's Kinshuki, Nagumo declares that she'll participate next year and as the team's vanguard will take down a hundred opponents. She gets her chance after Michi breaks her arm and nearly makes good on it in the first round, eliminating four out of Shuumei's five members by herself before she's finally defeated. She manages to defeat six opponents in total by the end of the tournament. | |

Commuting on a Bus: Himeno is a third year and so retires from the club after the first Kinshuki tournament before eventually graduating. She still continues to make occasional appearances as a supporting character, however, due to her younger sister joining the team when she enters high school at the beginning of second year. | |

Weak, but Skilled | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Aobanishi as a team is this. Generally, they're not on the same level as most of the elite teams like Tachikawa, but their hard work and grit (as well as Towa) means that they're able to punch far above their weight. However that, and their upbeat attitude, tends to earn them a lot of respect from even the best teams. They do improve steadily as the series goes however and by third year they've become a top tier team. | |

Chekhov's Skill: In the first chapter, Nagumo brags about Michi's flexibility and how she was able to get so low in a limbo contest back in elementary school. Michi's flexibility turns out to be a result of hypermobility which allows her to initially escape Odagiri's attempts at getting her in an armbar. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: It's not uncommon to see characters and teams showing up in passing before later being given more importance. Toutaidai Sakae, for example, appears as early as the first tournament in the series but doesn't start getting spotlighted until after the first Kinshuki. Likewise Sora, a first year member of Kasumigaoka during the third year chapters, originally showed up in a flashback around 140 chapters before she became a proper character. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
| "Ippon" Again! (Manga) / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Both Nagumo and Tsukasa started judo in their first years, having come over from different sports. Nagumo's explosiveness (courtesy of her kendo background) and natural athletic ability means that she's Aobanishi's secondary ace despite her inconsistency. Tsukasa, meanwhile, quickly became a regular due to her sheer size and power, plus her sumo skills transferring over rather well. | |

Senior Year Struggles: Michi, Sanae, Towa, and Nagumo are all third years as of the most recent chapters and will thus have to retire from the judo club after summer. As such, they're determined to win the Saitama Preliminaries and make it to the Interhigh in August — something they've failed to do the previous two years — just so they can keep going for as long as possible. Unfortunately, they lose to Seijou in the finals of the team tournament though both Towa and Tsukasa win their individual tournaments. | |
