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!
They met on a stormy night: Tsukushi Tsukamoto, a talentless rookie whose passion is greater than anyone else knows, and Jin Kazama, a lone wolf and a soccer prodigy. If not for that storm, they might have never met...and Tsukushi might not have let the storm winds carry him to the world of high school soccer. Seiseki prepares to face off against Yuigahama, their first opponent of the All-Japan High School Soccer Tournament. Seiseki launches an all-out attack from the very first kickoff, but Yuigahama stays in control and keeps Seiseki at bay...until Seiseki earns a free kick and gives it to Kazama. There's bad blood between Kazama and Yuigahama...and it's time to settle the score.
