Actor Shougo Sakamoto will portray the main lead Riku Haruma while KENN (IDOLiSH7) will portray Akira Kariya.
Synopsis
Riku Haruma enters high school without a future in sight. He sees people playing like monsters on the ground, jumping higher than anyone else, running fast, deciding to try their best. There, he sees Akira Kariya playing rugby, a sport he was once passionate about but gave up due to his physique. While Akira is running roughly, Riku gives him a piece of advice without thinking. From that, Riku feels his dying passion for the sport set ablaze, and his future starts to brighten up...
Try Knights has been serialized via Monthly Comic Gene by Senzoku Erizawa, Rihito Takarai, and Shunsaku Yano, with the original plan by Try Knights Union since last June. Kadokawa will release two compiled volumes of the manga on March 27.
NTV will hold an AnimeJapan 2019 stage on March 23. Shougo Sakamoto (Riku Haruma) will attend for the talk show, representing the anime.
