From Tsuyoshi Yasuda (Over Drive) comes the most exciting soccer manga in the world! During his last spring break before starting high school, Tsukushi Tsukamoto meets Jin Kazama, who invites him to a pick-up soccer game. Their chance meeting, and his first-ever experience with soccer, move kind-hearted, timid Tsukushi to enroll in his new high school's soccer club, which is among the strongest in all of Japan. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, there's something amazing hidden inside Tsukushi's heart ... and through his trials and tribulations in the soccer club, it's beginning to blossom!
It was a stormy night when Tsukushi Tsukamoto, a boy without a shred of soccer aptitude or skill, met Jin Kazama, a lone-wolf soccer prodigy. If not for that storm, they would never have crossed paths. That was the night Jin realized Tsukushi had tremendous potential that no one else, not even Tsukushi himself, could see...and the night this whirlwind story of excitement, emotion, miracles, and high school soccer began! Aiming to keep Seiseki sharp for the All Japan, head coach Nakazawa has the first- and second-year students square off against the third-years in an intramural game. Mizuki takes on Kimishita and Oshiba, and Usui takes on Tsukushi. Seiseki's no-holds-barred scrim against their own teammates brings about dramatic, lasting changes! And not a moment too soon, because December 30th, the first day of the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament, is drawing closer...and with it, the beginning of a fateful winter for the Seiseki High School Soccer Club!
