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!
You've been by my side since the very first day... The tides of battle have turned, and in the blink of an eye, Seiseki's tied the score against Ryozan, the reigning champions of high school soccer. They're on a roll, and with five minutes to go, they've got Ryozan between a rock and a hard place. But both teams have fierce emotions riding on the outcome...so no matter who comes out on top, it's going to be a game to remember. Who will advance to the fourth round of the All Japan High School Soccer tournament, and who will be going home?!
