Kosaku Hatanaka is a talented boxer with one major weakness: He loves to eat. His pre-fight binge eating has sabotaged his chances to win over and over again, to the point where his coach is ready to throw in the towel in frustration.

But Kosaku's salvation may lie outside the ring, as he gets an unlikely coach in his corner: Sister Angela, a comely novice nun at a nearby church. Kosaku's got a crush on Sister Angela, but will his attraction to her and her tough love approach be enough to turn this lovable loser's fortunes around?
