Ganbatte Ikimasshoi (がんばっていきまっしょい, "Give It All) is a Japanese television drama series for KTV based on the novel of the same name by Yoshiko Shikimura, about a girl who wants to start an all-girl rowing team.
She is met with many challenges during each episode, e.g., finding enough members, bearing the weight of being captain, going through training, and experiencing some setbacks.
Etsuko lives with her family: her always cheerful mother, her father who runs a dry cleaning shop, and her lighthearted grandmother.
This sight lights a fire in Etsuko's heart, and she is determined to establish a girl's boating club.
What his friends don't know is that when he was a member of his middle school's soccer club, the pressure caused him to have a breakdown.
She shoulders the burden of her parents' expectations and is aiming to enter a national university and go to medical school.
She has a tough time balancing her studies and club activities, but with her rich knowledge of Science, Rie makes a big contribution as a member of the maintenance crew.
Taeko Kikuchi stands out in the boat team with her bright-colored hair and pierced ears.
Before joining the team, her strong personality gave the false impression that Taeko was the leader of a group of juvenile delinquents.
When Etsuko asks Hitomi to coach her team, she happily accepts, and teaches the girls the excitement of rowing.
They've been married for four years, but Ken's worries about continuing the sport has created a gap between the couple.
