Ahiru no Sora
|
Hinomaruzumou and Ahiru no Sora follow similar story patterns, which is not unusual for sports shounen anime. Hinomaru (Hinomaruzumou) and Sora (Ahiru no Sora) are driven to succeed in a sport where their short height places them at a disadvantage. Their excitement for sumo and basketball influences others to join their newly established teams, despite their lack of skill or experience. You could describe them as a rag tag team of underdogs. Hinomaruzumou has a faster pace given that sumo matches in real life are very quick. Ahiru no Sora is a slower pace series with games lasting multiple episodes.

Similar passionate, talented, hard-working lead characters who
-are disadvantaged in terms of their height,
-enrol into new schools and transform the existing sports club (sumo in Hinomaruzumou and basketball in Ahiru no Sora) where delinquents are members by challenging the lead delinquent.
