Cheer Boys!! English Sub & Dub

About Cheer Boys!!

If you are hunting for a new slice of life series, Cheer Boys!! (チア男子!!) deserves a look (2016). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: Haruki Bandou was born into a family of Judo marital artists and expected to continue the family legacy. But he’s about to trade Judo for... cheerleading?!

From there, when his childhood companion Kazuma Hashimoto invites him to join the BREAKERS, a male cheerleading club, Haru comes across himself amongst a quirky group of boys. Can this squad of slightly odd and cute members make a breakthrough in college athletics?

With slice of life at the core, small, quiet moments and character warmth are the main appeal. Haruki Bandou (Yuuki Yonai) and Shou Tokugawa (Yuuki Ono) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want a calm, character-first watch. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal
