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!
Fresh off training camp, with the support of his friends and upperclassmen, Tsukushi's long, hard days of practice are finally starting to pay off as he shows tremendous growth. His first chance to prove himself comes in the form of his shocking selection for Seiseki's team for the Inter-High-School Championships. But it won't be easy. He'll be facing off against Sakuragi Municipal High School, which burst onto the scene as a force to be reckoned with two years ago...and the duo of prodigies that make Sakuragi such a fearsome team, Kaoru Indo and Shuuji Narukami!
