If nothing else it's an interesting and more believable take on a fighting Anime than most others I've read about / seen.
Basing everything around a real world sport, without any wacky monster fighting or weird unexplainable "Supers"/Creatures it creates a engaging narrative that's worth watching.
It of course falls back on a few classic tropes, but like the car chase in action films, they are almost mandatory as this point.
