Thank you to NetGalley for a free review copy of this book!
This was a pretty good sports manga. It follows Nozomi Onda, a 14-year-old girl that wants to play football. The only problem is, no matter how good she is, they won't let her play on the boys team. Wanting to prove herself, she gets a chance when she runs into one of her childhood friends on the street and he tells her that small girls like her have nothing on the boys.
Overall, I really enjoyed this manga. I usually don't read sports manga but the cover art and story of this one really caught my eye and I'm glad I gave it a chance! I'm excited to see where the story goes in volume 2, which I'll be sure to check out.

For a manga book (which is my least favorite type of GN to read) I really enjoyed the story about two soccer stars at rival middle schools who end up at the same high school with a lazy coach and braggart teammate. In order to become champions the two must team up to defeat the other team. I liked the dedication they had for the sport and the ending was definitely a cliffhanger for book 2. Thank you Netgalley for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

This one was disappointing. I didn't connect with any of the characters, I didn't like the art style, and the story - girl wants to play on the boys football team but isn't allowed - was just dull if I'm honest. Also, why was the protagonist slapping everyone? Not sure if my expectations were the problem here (I went into it looking for a story about a girls football team and that's not what it is), but I won't be picking up the next volumes.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book in return for an honest review.
This manga is about a girl who adores football and is really good at it. She wants to join the football team but is met with a lot of resistance like misogyny. We see her fight back as she wants to get back on the pitch and go against the person she trained back when they were little. Things have changed between them and tensions are high. This manga leaves on a glorious cliffhanger making you want to read the second volume straight away.
Rating: 3⭐

I wanted to give one star purely on the fact that they ended it on an intense moment. Why?!! (Insert sad crying face). I couldn’t do it though because I loved the first volume and at the same time I was so frustrated too, dang it coach let Ondo play! If you read enough manga’s you could probably guess what Ondo was going to do but I didn’t care it was still amazing. I can’t wait to read the other installments of the series, but I’m a little hesitant too. Naoshi Arakawa, destroyed my heart in Your Lie in April, and I could see it happening here too, hopefully I’m wrong, but either way I’m here for this ride.
