Her grandpa has other plans for her. Inokuma Gigoro is a judo master and a judo champion in his youth. He has been training Yawara since she was little, and his plan is to get Yawara to the top of the judo world.

Yawara fights in her first judo tournament in this volume, and Matsuda gets the BIG scoop he's been waiting for.

Episodes 5-8 are subtitled by Neko Creations, so the subtitles may look different from Episodes 1-4. We prefer Neko Creations' subbing, since they have good translations and consistent editing and subtitles, although the "thought" font color isn't differentiated from the rest of the dialogue either.
