I received this copy from Netgalley as an ARC in exchange of an honest review.
Amaziiiiiiiing, ! I just want more after that ending.
I loved it.
It is a manga about sports mainly football with a girl ( Nozomi Onda) as the best player you can imagine but she can't join the official school team because well she is a girl ! she just train with the team and she is a genius with a ball. She can't accept this situation, so she decides to do whatever she can to get in the team and to participate in the Newcomers' Tourney.
It was a cool, funny and cute manga that I didn't know that I will enjoy and love this much. I'm a fan now and I will be waiting for the next chapters.

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.

The manga is about a girl who loves playing football and is very amazing at it but since there's no female club, she bothers the male club to let her play in one of the matches in the tournament for reasons explained later. The club obviously refuses because they would get disqualified but oh, she finds a way in the end. *wink wink*
Now, the story concept was good but the execution, not so much for me. Nozomi is somewhat violent even when it is a joke, it's never funny. Moreover, many things happen impulsively that I wonder what's the point. There were so many characters introduced all at once and despite the names on the screen, I had a hard time knowing who's who unless they had very different features.
Another issue I had were the speech bubbles, I had a hard time figuring out who's speaking because of the many characters and they all spoke similarly so it was hard to distinguish between them half the time.
Overall, it wasn't bad but I didn't enjoy it because I was exasperated from all the violence from Nozomi and all the flat chested comments towards her. The speech bubbles didn't help either because they didn't have arrow markers and sometimes were drawn in an empty panel so you can't make out who's talking. I'll probably just read the next volume to see how the ending in the first volume plays out over to the sequel but I don't think I'll read further than that.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.

My coworker brought this manga to my attention because he knows I love sports manga/anime. Oh cool, a manga about a girls’ soccer team, right?
NOPE!!! This was a manga about a girl wanting to be in a game with the boys’ soccer team, but everyone kept telling her “you’d be a part of this team IF YOU WERE A BOY.” EVERYONE SAYS THIS TO HER. “You’re a GIRL, your physical level isn’t like a BOY’S!!” Also, for her two childhood friends that are part of the boys’ team liking her is giving me an ulcer. ONE OF THEIR REASONS FOR HER TO NOT PLAY IS BECAUSE HE “DOESN’T WANT TO SEE HER GET HURT.” B I T C H, I SWEAR!!!! I can’t deal with this shit, bro; I’m withered and gay.
I think we have progressed past the need for manga like this.

This surprised me so much! I love love loved this little manga. (And I’m looking for the second one as I type this!)
I played soccer for 17 years, and a lot of the time I miss it more than anything. This book brought me back to playing and I loved that nostalgic feeling. I didn’t have high hopes for this going in, but I loved the journey our middle school protagonist went on trying to play in an official match on her schools’ boy team to challenge a rival from her youth.
It was funny and endearing to the very end. It was also equal parts frustrating see the misogyny play out. Overall I enjoyed this so much, and I’m happy to continue on with the series.
