## Synopsis

At Oarai's academy, 'senshado' — the way of the tank — is a prestigious tradition for refined young ladies, practiced in lovingly modeled armor from history's garages. Miho Nishizumi transferred here specifically to escape tank combat and her family's famous senshado legacy — so naturally, the school drafts her to lead its scraped-together team into the national championship. Commanding a crew of enthusiastic amateurs (a doom-fueled driver, a tank-otaku loader, a serene gunner), Miho has to rediscover her own style of command while out-thinking schools with deeper rosters and heavier armor. The tactics are real, the tank fetishism is encyclopedic, and the underdog arc genuinely earns its cheers.
