Six months after the intense VF Circuit trials, Aichi Sendou finds himself starting anew at Miyaji Academy. Everything changes when he crosses paths with Naoki Ishida and Kourin Tatsunagi joins his class, sparking an idea: a Cardfight!! Vanguard club. Soon, Shingo Komoi and Misaki Tokura are on board too.
