Description
Everybody has a dream, and for Sho Kazamatsuri, that dream is simple: he wants to be the best soccer player he can possibly be. He's the spirited leader of the Josui Junior High team and everyone looks up to him. In turn, he tries to keep the team together at any cost!
Sho Kazamatsuri and his pals finally hit the magic number 11 and that means they're ready for high-kicking, goal-to-goal soccer action.
Unfortunately, Team Josui's first game is against the powerhouse private school,Musashinomori. Sho's crew may have boundless pluck and enthusiasm, but do they have the talent to compete with last season's reigning champions? Maybe not...but this year they have a secret weapon by the name of Tatsuya Mizuno.Not only is Tatsuya the best player on Josui's squad, he's also the son of the opposing team's coach. Soccer action and familial complications collide when father and son meet on opposite sides of the soccer field!
