After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide them to the win. The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match...and to do so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team...and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?

intense and dizzying, sometimes not in a good way.. some parts it read a bit overwhelming because there were so many characters being introduced at the same time.

In a world where Japan cares SO MUCH about their soccer team, 300 high school students are put in a training facility and taught to be self-centered.

(Interested but my socks were not blown off by this first boom. I DID wait a long time to read it so I'll try the first few books before fully deciding.)

(This is also my first sports manga I'm trying)

An intense manga about football

Key words: manga, sport, shonen, young adult, survival game

This was quite an intense manga. The drawings were very well done and, especially in action/sport scenes. It felt like you were there with the characters. Some of the characters are really creepy I think, especially Jinpachi Ego. The story on the other hand is interesting, but it’s nothing new for the moment. It is kind of like a hunger games with 300 students and only one will remain. I do hope Isagi and the others will prove Jinpachi wrong because otherwise, I don’t really like the message behind the success of footballers. 

I think I will continue this series as it sounds promising and I want to see how the story develops. I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, though I personally liked it. If you like action, football and hunger games, this manga is for you.

3.5/5

Thank you Netgalley for this eArc in exchange of my honest opinion
